ABSTRACT:
A package (10) is disclosed including a dispensing carton (12) containing a stack of covered bowls (54) holding ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. The carton (12) includes a removable tab (64) including an upper, linear, perforated line (66) and a lower, linear, perforated line (68) spaced from and parallel to the bottom edge (44) of the front panel (18). The side panels (24, 32) of the carton (12) each include a cut, arcuate line (70) extending from the upper line (66) and a linear, perforated line (72) parallel to its bottom edge (40) and extending from the arcuate line (70) to the corner between the front panel (18) and the side panel (24, 32). The front panel (18) further includes first and second cut lines (74) extending from the linear lines (72) of the side panels (24, 32) to the opposite ends of the lower line (68) which are spaced from the corners between the front panel (18) and the side panels (24, 32). The lengths of the uncut portions are generally equal to the lengths of the cut portions in the perforated lines (72) of the side panels (24, 32) and are substantially shorter than the lengths of the cut portions in the perforated lines (66, 68) of the front panel (18). The rims (58) of the bowls (54) in the preferred form shown each include a radial ear (60) which extends in one of the corners between the front and side panels (18, 24, 32) to prevent rotation of the bowls (54) in the carton (12). The ear (60) of the individual bowl (54) to be dispensed can be rotated to extend through the dispensing opening and beyond the front panel (18).
