A container for, for example, food products such as confectionery, is formed from a casing and one or more auxiliary bodies associated with and affixed to the casing to give the container an animal-like or human-like appearance. The auxiliary body or bodies affixed to the casing can take the form of human-like or animal-like features and can be moved relative to the casing both by rotation about the longitudinal axis of the body and by variation of the position of the longitudinal axis of the body relative to the case by sliding the body along a circular path. This provides a container which also may be used as a toy.
