• a first identifier body held on the lid, the first identifier body being mounted integrated within the raised portion of the top wall, wherein the first identifier body stores information indicative of the removable pitcher assembly,
• a dispenser defining a cavity for receiving the lid, and
• a second identifier body disposed within the cavity, the second identifier body being in selective wireless communication with the first identifier body in a docked position of the removable pitcher assembly,
• wherein the first identifier body transmits the information indicative of the removable pitcher assembly to the second identifier body in the docked position of the pitcher, and
• wherein the second identifier body reads the information indicative of the removable pitcher assembly transmitted from the first identifier body in the docked position of the pitcher.
