Abstract
An elevating dispenser to lift and suspend fragile foodstuffs from within an upright canister for serving. A column of wafers (13) rest on an elevating dispenser (10) inside a canister (11). When wafers have been removed to the point that they are no longer easily obtainable from the canister aperture, the user lifts the dispenser and engages notches (10c) integral to the dispenser on the canister rim (11b), thus suspending wafers nearer the canister aperture to make them more easily obtainable.
