Abstract
A container includes a cartridge containing a plurality of products therein. The cartridge defines a dispensing opening. The container also includes an outer shell configured to receive the cartridge therein. The outer shell includes a dispensing end and a receiving end. The receiving end is configured to receive the cartridge therethrough. The container further includes a dispensing mechanism coupled to the outer shell dispensing end. The dispensing mechanism is movable between a first position and a second position. The dispensing mechanism in the first position obstructs the dispensing opening such that the products are retained in the container, and the dispensing mechanism in the second position enables the products to be dispensed from the container.
