The nature of the invention is to facilitate the complete use of substances that are packaged in containers with odd or irregular shaped tops that double as the dispenser for the substance in the container. As is the rule with gravity, when a container of glue, for example, with a small cone-shaped top/dispenser is placed in storage, the glue settles to the bottom of the container. In order to use as much of the glue as possible, and do so in a timely manner (the value of which increases as the container nears empty), it becomes necessary to either lean or prop the container against a solid object while waiting for the glue to settle on the inverted top prior to dispensing, an action not always desirable or feasible. The cube-shaped invention with varying openings in each side allows for storage in the inverted position of a variety of odd-shaped top/dispenser containers; thereby, permitting easy, rapid use of the substance within a container, especially as the container nears empty.
