Abstract
A disposable container for use as a syrup package in a post-mix beverage dispenser comprising a base end and a discharge end opposite thereto, sidewalls extending from the base end towards the discharge end, and a neck connecting the sidewalls to the discharge end and defining a discharge opening through which syrup or flavor concentrate may be dispensed. A flow-rate control tube having an openable, sealed end and a closed end is integrally formed with the container sidewalls. The flow-rate control tube has the openable, sealed end positioned in the container base end and has a major portion which extends substantially longitudinally of the container on the outside of the sidewalls, to an associated minor portion of the tube, which extends through the neck of the container so that the open end of the tube is in communication with the interior of the container in the neck region.
