ABSTRACT:
A container for dispensing and draining liquid held therein is disclosed wherein the container is nestable with like containers prior to filling and after the liquid therein has been dispensed. The container comprises a body including a longitudinal axis, a side wall, a large bottom end, and a small top dispensing end. The side wall tapers from the bottom end to the top end of the container to define a tapered liquid defining space having inner and outer side wall surfaces and bottom and top openings at the top and bottom ends. The top end of the container is adapted to receive a readily removable top cap and the bottom end is adapted to receive a readily removable tear-type bottom closure. During initial manufacture, the bottom end is left open so that the containers may be nested for shipment to the filling point. During dispensing, the readily removable top and bottom ends of a first container are removed so that the large bottom end of the first empty container becomes a funnel and holder for the small top end of a subsequent container that is to be emptied.
