Abstract
An easy opening container wherein the top end of the container is of a domed configuration and is provided with both a filling opening and a dispensing opening arrangement. The dispensing opening arrangement is closed prior to filling by a pull tape which has a peelable bond with the domed end. The filling opening is located generally centrally of the pull tape and is centered relative to the domed end and is relatively small, but of a size through which the container may be filled with the use of specialized filling equipment. The filling opening is preferably closed by a blind rivet and the container is preferably formed of two cups having their open ends joined in opposing relation.
