Abstract
The present closure is a measuring cup closure for a bottle which has bristles on the lower peripheral edge of the measuring cup portion. The closure can have a skirt disposed outwardly from the measuring cup portion, with this skirt having threads to attach the closure to the exterior threads on a bottle. In the alternative, the measuring cup portion can have threads to mate with threads on the inner surface of the bottle. There is at least a portion of the lower peripheral edge of the measuring cup that is free of bristles.
