What is claimed is: 1. A spout for integration with a container, the spout having an upper edge and a lower edge and an outer surface extending therebetween, comprising: first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads located on the outer surface of the spout, each having at least two segments; said first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads being offset along an axis of the spout; one of said at least two segments of said first set of intermittent circumferential beads substantially corresponding to a space between said at least two segments of said second set of intermittent circumferential beads; and said intermittent circumferential beads configured to engage a retaining device on an inner surface of the container. 2. The spout of claim 1, wherein the spout has a frustoconical shape. 3. The spout of claim 1, wherein the upper edge has an upper perimeter and the lower edge has a lower perimeter and said upper perimeter is greater than said lower perimeter. 4. The spout of claim 1, wherein said retaining device comprises an inwardly extending bead. 5. A liquid dispensing bottle comprising: a neck; a frustoconically shaped spout having an upper edge and a lower edge and a surface extending therebetween; first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads located on said surface, each having at least two segment; said first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads offset along an axis of said spout; one of said at least two segments of said first set of intermittent circumferential beads substantially corresponding to a space between said at least two segments of said second set of intermittent circumferential beads; and said intermittent circumferential beads configured to engage an inwardly extending bead on an inner surface of said neck. 6. A spout for integration with a container, the spout having an upper edge and a lower edge and an outer surface extending therebetween, comprising: first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads located on the outer surface of the spout, each having at least two segments; said first and second sets of intermittent circumferential beads being offset along an axis of the spout; and one of said at least two segments of said first set of intermittent circumferential beads substantially corresponding to a space between said at least two segments of said second set of intermittent circumferential beads. 7. The spout of claim 6, wherein the spout has a frustoconical shape. 8. The spout of claim 6, wherein the upper edge has an upper perimeter and the lower edge has a lower perimeter and said upper perimeter is greater than said lower perimeter. 9. The spout of claim 6, wherein said retaining device comprises an inwardly extending bead.
