Abstract
A container for removing a cap of another identical container includes a vessel defining an interior space therein and having a rim positioned on a top side of the vessel which defines an opening to the interior space. A cap is removably couplable to the rim of the vessel to close the opening. The cap has a top wall and a perimeter wall, wherein the perimeter wall is coupled to and extends away from the top wall. The perimeter wall surrounds the rim when the cap is coupled to the rim. The vessel defines a notch extending upwardly into a bottom surface of the vessel. The notch is shaped to receive another cap therein and remove the other cap from another vessel.
