• the recess having a first portion and a second portion separated by a pivot wall, the first and second portions each having side walls and a floor;
• a door sized to be received within the recess, the door comprising a flip section pivotally connected to a push section, the push section pivotally connected to the main body with no hinge pins, the flip section being positioned to engage and pivot about the pivot wall from a closed position to an open position in response to downward pressure on the push section;
• the first portion of the recess having a dispensing hole for dispensing product;
• an underside of the flip section of the door having a sealing ring projecting downwardly, the sealing ring having a smooth unbarbed outer periphery and sized to correspond with and frictionally engage the dispensing hole to provide a seal and restrict the opening of the door when the flip section of the door is in a closed position;
• and
