Abstract
A container having an integral lid hinged about the wall of the container to selectively close and seal the same on demand. Integral walls extend from the bottom portion of the device to form the container, the top portion terminates in a rim and a sealing ridge. Integral to one of the walls of the container is a lid formed by a crease within one of the walls, which crease defines the bottom end of the lid. The lid's top end is matched to the shape of the top portion of the container for conforming and locking therewith in the closed position, the lid extending above the top portion of the cup, forming a spout and a lid, at least one aperture formed in the lid to facilitate dispensing of the contents from the container when the lid is in the closed position.
