Abstract
A tamper resistant bottle cap and neck for a threaded blow molded bottles which hold liquid, such as milk. The bottle cap and neck combination has an enhanced tamper evidency feature wherein a circumferential lip is formed at the outside edge of the interface between the cap and the neck. The lip protects the contents of the bottle by limiting the ability of potential tamperers to pry or bend upwardly the rachet ring at lower edge of the cap.
