The invention claimed is: 1. A threaded spout for use on a collapsible bag for dispensing of liquids and semi-liquids from the bag, the spout comprising a hollow cylindrical body having an external surface for mating with a collar of a dispensing connector, the external surface includes: (a) a threaded portion which comprises two opposing threads of equal geometries for mating with an internal surface of the collar of the dispensing connector, wherein the opposing threads are spaced from each other on the external surface to provide a lead-in to the internal surface of the collar of the dispensing connector and the opposing threads extend from and form part of an upper external flange located on the external surface of the spout, and (b) a second external flange located beneath and spaced from the upper external flange and towards a base portion of the spout, a lower portion of the threads being located on either side of the spout, extending around the external surface of the spout, and extending into the upper flange on the external surface, wherein each thread has a lower end which is tapered, the spout having at one end thereof the base portion for securing the spout to the collapsible bag. 2. A threaded spout as claimed in claim 1, wherein the internal surface of the collar is cooperatively screw threaded for securing the dispensing connector thereto. 3. A threaded spout as claimed in claim 1, wherein the internal surface of the collar is adapted to clamp around the opposing threads of the dispensing connector to secure the dispensing connector thereto.
