The lower lid portion has an upwardly-extending column member located in a center region of the lower lid portion. The lid element also includes an upper lid portion configured to be rotatably mounted on the lower lid portion via the column member. The upper lid portion defines at least one upper orifice. The upper lid portion is rotatable relative to the lower lid portion to a closed position at which the upper orifice is misaligned with the lower orifice. In addition, the upper lid portion is rotatable relative to the lower lid portion to an open position at which the upper orifice is aligned with the lower orifice for dispensing the substance.
