Abstract
In one embodiment, a container including a bottom container closed at a bottom end and open at a top end and having a tubular neck, a top container open at a top end and closed at a bottom by a tearable seal, a flap extending radially out from an exterior of the top container so that the flap surrounds the neck of the bottom container, and a tubular sleeve having a bottom end and a top end, the bottom end defined by a beveled edge and the top end closed by a truncated cone, the bottom end of the tubular sleeve being sized and shaped to be received within the open end of the top container. The tubular neck has a peripheral edge containing a first set of stria, and an interior of the tubular neck has a plurality of sealing rings. The top container engages the sealing rings of the bottom container, and the flap surrounds the neck of the bottom container, when the top container is inserted into the interior of the tubular neck. The bottom end of the tubular sleeve has a beveled edge and the top end is closed by a truncated cone. The tubular sleeve may be moved axially within the top container so that the beveled edge tears the tearable seal in the top container.
