I claim: 1. A refillable container for select discharge and refilling by a user of a substance, the refillable container comprising: an elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion having a first outside diameter and being adapted for containing the substance therein for use therewith, the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion having a solid bottom portion, an open threaded top adapted for poured receipt of the substance, and a generally cylindrical sidewall for holding the substance directly thereagainst; a generally cylindrical upper body portion having a second outer diameter substantially equivalent to the first outside diameter, and a generally planar top surface, and being adapted for threadable engagement with and flush abutting engagement to the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion such that the generally cylindrical upper body portion comprises a generally flush cylindrical extension of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion when the generally cylindrical upper body portion is threadably engaged to the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion thereby defining therebetween a substantially uniform cylindrical outer surface thereacross to facilitate handling thereof by the user, the generally cylindrical upper body portion being further adapted for disengagement from the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion to facilitate pouring of the substance into the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion by the user; and the generally cylindrical upper body portion further comprising a discharge cap threadably mounted to the substantially planar top surface of the generally cylindrical upper body portion to cause the discharge cap to upstand from the substantially planar top surface of the generally cylindrical upper body portion in substantially direct contact therewith, the discharge cap having a discharge orifice of a diameter substantially smaller than the outside diameter of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion, the discharge cap adapted for select discharge by the user of the substance from the refillable container. 2. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the discharge cap is formed with threads along an inner surface thereof. 3. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the open threaded top of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion is formed with threads along an outer surface thereof. 4. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the generally cylindrical upper body portion is formed with threads along an inner surface thereof. 5. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the user is a consumer. 6. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the substance comprises a liquid. 7. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the discharge cap comprises a spray device adapted for the discharge of the substance from the refillable container in a spray form. 8. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the discharge cap includes a discharge mechanism adapted for discharge of selective amounts of the substance therefrom. 9. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the generally cylindrical lower body portion further includes means for identify the contents of the refillable container. 10. The refillable container of claim 9, wherein the means for identifying comprises a label. 11. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the discharge cap comprises a pump unit adapted for pumping the contents of the refillable container outwardly therefrom by a pumping operation thereof. 12. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the discharge cap is generally cylindrical in shape. 13. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the refillable container is flexible in construction whereby the substance contained therein may be squeezed by the user to facilitate the discharge thereof. 14. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein the refillable container is formed of a plastic material. 15. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the refillable container is formed of a substantially transparent material. 16. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the refillable container is formed using a blow-molding process. 17. The refillable container of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the refillable container is formed using an injection-molding process. 18. A refillable container for select discharge and refilling by a user of a substance, the refillable container comprising: an elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion having a first outside diameter and being adapted for containing the substance therein for use therewith, the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion having a solid bottom portion, an open threaded top adapted for poured receipt of the substance, and a generally cylindrical sidewall for holding the substance directly thereagainst; and a discharge/refill assembly comprising: a generally cylindrical upper body portion having a second outer diameter substantially equivalent to the first outside diameter, and a generally planar top surface, and being adapted for threadable engagement with and flush abutting engagement to the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion such that the generally cylindrical upper body portion comprises a generally flush cylindrical extension of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion when the generally cylindrical upper body portion is threadably engaged to the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion thereby defining therebetween a substantially uniform cylindrical outer surface thereacross to facilitate handling thereof by the user, the generally cylindrical upper body portion being further adapted for disengagement from the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion to facilitate pouring of the substance into the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion by the user; and a discharge cap threadably mounted to the substantially planar top surface of the generally cylindrical upper body portion to cause the discharge cap to upstand from the substantially planar top surface of the generally cylindrical upper body portion in substantially direct contact therewith, the discharge cap having a discharge orifice of a diameter substantially smaller than the outside diameter of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion, the discharge cap adapted for select discharge by the user of the substance from the refillable container. 19. The refillable container of claim 18, wherein the discharge cap is formed with threads along an inner surface thereof. 20. The refillable container of claim 18, wherein the open threaded top of the elongate generally cylindrical lower body portion is formed with threads along an outer surface thereof. 21. The refillable container of claim 18, wherein the generally cylindrical upper body portion is formed with threads along an inner surface thereof. 22. The refillable container of claim 18, wherein the user is a consumer. 23. The refillable container of claim 18, wherein the substance comprises a liquid. 24.
