A stackable container having a selectable divider, said container comprising:
- a vertical container wall, said vertical container wall having an outer surface, an inner surface, a top edge, and a bottom edge, said vertical container wall having a horizontal circumference, said horizontal circumference larger at said top edge than at said bottom edge;
- a bottom container wall, said bottom container wall having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, said horizontal portion having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a first divider, said first divider having a front divider surface, a back divider surface, a top divider edge, a bottom divider edge, a first vertical divider edge and a second vertical divider edge;
- wherein said first divider is fixably attached to said vertical container wall at said first vertical divider edge to form a live hinge and is deployable within said container to provide a partition therein;
- and
- a second divider, having a front divider surface, a back divider surface, a top divider edge, a bottom divider edge, a first vertical edge and a second vertical edge;
- wherein said second divider is fixably attached to said first divider to form a live hinge and is deployable therefrom and within said container to provide a second partition therein;
- wherein said container may provide one, two, or three partitioned areas for contents placed therein through selected deployment of said first and second dividers.
