A spout for a container, comprising:

• A. a base adapted to be joined to a wall of a container, the base defining an opening;
• B. a chute communicating with the opening, the chute having a first end at least partially surrounding the opening and a second end spaced from the first end;
• C. a closure positioned to close the chute;
• D. a tear line defining a seal of the closure, the tear line being adapted to be broken readily, without relative rotation between the closure and the chute of the spout about an axis perpendicular to the base, to open the spout;
• and
• E. first and second fold lines disposed on opposite sides of the chute;
• F. wherein the base, spout, closure, and tear line are injection molded as one integrally formed piece.

• and
• E. a projection configured to puncture the tear line to break the tear line;
• F. wherein the base, spout, closure, projection, and tear line are injection molded as one integrally formed piece.
