Abstract
A lid is provided for an open top container. The lid is made from a frangible material such as plastic. A tearable tab is defined by a pair of score lines each of which is on two spaced sections of the lid. The sections are located at least partially in different planes of the lid. The spacing between the sections defines a wall portion including at least another plane of the lid. This spacing is free of score lines to form a gap in each of the pair of score lines. The spaced sections of each of the pair of score lines are otherwise in alignment.
