A cap for a container having multiple purposes, comprising:
- a container engaging portion;
- an outer wall;
- a connection member extending radially from the outer wall having a projection portion with a projection dimension and a transverse portion with a transverse dimension;
- and
- a passage formed entirely through the outer wall having a passage dimension between opposed surfaces, wherein the passage dimension is less than the transverse dimension and forms a friction engagement with the projection portion;
- wherein the cap has an outer major diameter.
