ABSTRACT:
A snack food container comprises a blow molded extruded transparent polyvinyl chloride housing having solid wall and base segments, a token slot, and an opening through which a solid particulate snack food product is loaded into and removed from the housing. A releasable seal on an interior surface of the housing covers the token slot. The sealed cap, token slot seal and housing maintain the food product in a sealed state prior to the cap being removed and/or the seal being released. The housing is used as a token bank by inserting tokens through the released token slot after the food product has been removed from the housing and the seal has been released from the token slot. In one embodiment the token slot is a pressure sensitive adhesive strip adhesively attached to the housing, and in a second embodiment the slot is in the cap. The housing contains visible promotional material unrelated to the snack food.
