- a container having a lower base and an upper rim, with a sidewall extending upwardly between the lower base and the upper rim, the container being configured to support the lower base in a horizontal orientation on a horizontal surface;
- the sidewall being substantially vertical from a lower sidewall position to an upper sidewall position between the lower base and the upper rim when the container is supported on the horizontal surface, the lower base and the sidewall combining to form a container interior space, the sidewall having an interior sidewall surface;
- and
- a lid removably attachable to the container, the lid further having an outer perimeter sized and shaped to frictionally abut the interior sidewall surface and to seal the container interior space when the lid is attached to the container;
- wherein the lid is moveable between the upper sidewall position and the lower sidewall position, the lid further being frictionally held in a sealing position against the interior sidewall surface at the upper sidewall position, the lower sidewall position, and a plurality of locations between the upper sidewall position and the lower sidewall position.
