Abstract
Disclosed herein are dual-cavity containers comprising, among other things, a divider wall having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a first cavity defined by a first wall coupled to the first surface of the divider wall, the first wall having an indenture shaped to conform to a thumb or finger; and a second cavity defined by a second wall and the second surface of the divider wall; the second wall having an indenture shaped to conform to a thumb or finger; and an opening mechanism.

A dual-cavity container comprising:
- a divider wall having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the divider wall having a back edge and a front edge;
- a first cavity defined by a first wall coupled to the first surface of the divider wall, the first cavity having a proximal end located at a first distance from the back edge of the divider wall and a distal end located at a second distance from the front edge of the divider wall,
- the first wall having a first indenture shaped to conform to a thumb or finger, the first indenture in the first wall being adjacent to the proximal end of the first cavity, a first edge of the first indenture forming a first apex for the first cavity;
- and
- a second cavity defined by a second wall and the second surface of the divider wall, the second cavity having a proximal end located at a third distance from the back edge of the divider wall, the third distance from the back of the edge of the divider wall being substantially the same as the first distance from the back edge of the divider wall, and a distal end located at a fourth distance from the front edge of the divider wall, the fourth distance from the front edge of the divider wall being shorter than the second distance from the front edge of the divider wall, such that the proximal ends of the two cavities are in alignment with each other while the distal ends of the two cavities are offset relative to each other;
- the second wall having a second indenture shaped to conform to a thumb or finger, the second indenture in the second wall being adjacent to the proximal end of the second cavity, a second edge of the second indenture forming a second apex for the second cavity, and the second apex of the second cavity being offset relative to a position of the first apex of the first cavity such that the first apex of the first cavity is positioned closer to the front edge of the divider wall than the second apex of the second cavity;
- and
- an opening mechanism positioned adjacent to the two distal ends of the two cavities.
