Abstract
A container having an opening that extends through the container. The outer surface of the container includes a tapered section located within the opening. The tapered section extends from the bottom of the container towards the inner surface of the container. A plug is retained within the opening of the container. The plug has a head, an upright section and a base with a peripheral edge. The peripheral edge of the base contacts the tapered section of the container to enable the plug to remain in an upright drainage position.
