• wherein a rim on one of said body and said lid defines a first rim, and a rim on the other of said body and said lid defines a second rim;
• said first rim includes:
• first and second grooves for receiving corresponding first and second ridges on said second rim;
• first and second sealing gaskets disposed in said first and second grooves, respectively;
• and
• an angled portion between said grooves, said angled portion being capable of at least partially engaging a corresponding guiding surface on said second rim when said lid is misaligned with said base and is partially closed but before said ridges engage said grooves, said angled portion and said guiding surface cooperating together to guide said lid and said body together as said lid is closed so that said ridges properly align with said grooves and mate therewith when the lid is fully closed.
