The closure of claim 1, and said tunnel means opening defined by said side, top and bottom walls being relatively long in horizontal planes and relatively thin in vertical planes and having relatively sharp internal corners all to cooperate well with a said inserted household object to manipulate said closure. 3. A closure according to claim 1, wherein said means to removably secure said closure to said container includes tamper-resistant and/or child-resistant closure securing means. 4. A closure according to claim 1, wherein said tunnel means are formed at the top of said closure. 5. A closure according to claim 4, wherein said tunnel means opening is positioned at the front of said tunnel means for insertion of said ordinary household objects. 6. A closure according to claim 1, wherein said means to removably secure said closure include means making it necessary to rotate said closure to an operative position wherein said tunnel means are aligned with a cooperating mark on the container, and said means to removably secure further permitting said closure to be removed from said container only when said mark and said tunnel means are aligned. 7. A closure according to claim 4, wherein said tunnel means extends downwardly from the top of said closure, and wherein said tunnel means opening is located to be flush with said top of said closure. 8. A closure according to claim 1, said closure including a skirt, and said tunnel means opening being formed in said closure skirt. 9. A closure for a container, means to removable secure said closure to said container, said closure comprising tunnel means formed at the top of said closure, said tunnel means extending upwardly of the top of said closure, whereby said tunnel means may also function as means to grip said closure, and said tunnel means having an opening for insertion of ordinary household objects such as the handle of a spoon, a key or the like to aid in manipulating said closure while at the same time not interfering with use of said closure without the use of any such inserted household object at the option of the user. 10. A closure according to claim 1, wherein said closure comprises an inner plug member and a coaxially arranged outer sleeve member, and said tunnel means being provided on said inner plug member. 11. A closure according to claim 9, wherein said means to removably secure said closure to said container includes tamper-resistant and/or child-resistant closure securing means. 12. A closure according to claim 9, wherein said tunnel means are defined by side walls, a top wall interconnecting said side walls, a bottom wall interconnecting said side walls, and said tunnel means opening being positioned at the front of said tunnel means for insertion of said ordinary household objects. 13. A closure according to claim 9, wherein said means to removably secure said closure includes means making it necessary to rotate said closure to an operative position wherein said tunnel means are aligned with a cooperating mark on the container, and said means to removably secure further permitting said closure to be removed from said container only when said mark and said tunnel means are aligned. 14. A closure according to claim 9, said closure including a skirt, and said tunnel means opening being formed in said closure skirt. 15.
