Abstract
A container including a fitment having an outer wall and a pour spout. The fitment outer wall includes a first product exit aperture. A bottle finish includes one or more locking surfaces abutting the outer wall of the fitment, and the finish locking surface includes a channel which directs product trapped between the outer wall of the fitment and the inner wall of the finish to the first product exit aperture and then to the exterior of the container or directly to the exterior of the container. This permits egress of residual drops of product from the container. Alternatively, the channel can extend to the top of the finish.
