A container includes a bottom and a plurality of walls that form a storage cavity. A primary lid is disposed over the storage cavity. The primary lid includes a top surface that defines a dispenser portion through which items within the storage cavity may be dispensed. A dispenser lid is pivotally attached to the primary lid. The dispenser lid has a closed position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted downwards relative to the primary lid to cover the dispenser portion and an open position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted upwards relative to the primary lid to expose the dispenser portion. A dispenser lid biasing means includes a biasing pin having a first longitudinal end portion and a second longitudinal end portion, a first biasing pin anchor disposed on the dispenser lid, the first end portion of the biasing pin being held by the first biasing pin anchor, and a second biasing pin anchor disposed on one of the primary lid and the dispenser lid, the second end portion of the biasing pin being held by the second biasing pin anchor, such that the biasing pin urges the dispenser lid towards the open position.

1. A container comprising: a bottom and a plurality of walls that form a storage cavity;a primary lid disposed over the storage cavity, the primary lid including a top surface that defines a dispenser portion through which items within the storage cavity may be dispensed;a dispenser lid pivotally attached to the primary lid, the dispenser lid having a bottom surface, the dispenser lid having a closed position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted downwards relative to the primary lid to cover the dispenser portion and an open position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted upwards relative to the primary lid to expose the dispenser portion;a pivot bar extending laterally across at least a portion of the bottom surface of the dispenser lid; a biasing pin having a first longitudinal end portion and a second longitudinal end portion;a first biasing pin anchor disposed on the dispenser lid, the first end portion of the biasing pin being held by the first biasing pin anchor; anda second biasing pin anchor disposed on one of the primary lid and the dispenser lid, the second end portion of the biasing pin being held by the second biasing pin anchor, such that the biasing pin bends around the pivot bar and is held in tension in a longitudinal direction between the first and second biasing pin anchors when the dispenser lid is in the closed position, the biasing pin in tension urging the dispenser lid towards the open position. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the first biasing pin anchor comprises a protrusion extending from the bottom surface of the dispenser lid. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein the second biasing pin anchor comprises an opening formed in the primary lid. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein the biasing pin further comprises: an opening formed in the first end portion, the first end portion of the biasing pin being positioned such that the protrusion extends through the opening formed in the biasing pin. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein the biasing pin further comprises: a groove formed at the second end portion of the biasing pin, the second end portion being inserted into the opening formed in the primary lid such that edges of the primary lid that define the opening are inserted into the groove. 6. The container of claim 4, wherein the biasing pin further comprises: a flange formed at the second end portion, the second end portion being inserted into the opening formed in the primary lid so that the flange prevents the biasing pin from being pulled upwards through the opening in the primary lid. 7. The container of claim 1, further comprising a catch plate disposed on the primary lid that locks the dispenser lid in the closed position. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the primary lid includes a recessed portion that defines the dispenser portion, the recessed portion comprising a bottom wall, the bottom wall including a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being normally co-planar with and separated from the first portion to form an aperture in the bottom wall through with the items within the storage cavity are dispensed, the second portion being pivotable upwards to expose the items within the storage cavity. 9. A container comprising: a plurality of walls that form a storage cavity;a primary lid disposed over the storage cavity, the primary lid defining an opening through which items within the storage cavity may be dispensed;a dispenser lid pivotally attached to the primary lid, the dispenser lid having a closed position in which the dispenser lid covers the opening and an open position in which the dispenser lid exposes the opening, the dispenser lid having a bottom surface and a pivot bar extending laterally across at least a portion of the bottom surface of the dispenser lid; anda biasing member having a first longitudinal end portion and a second longitudinal end portion;the first longitudinal end portion being anchored to the dispenser lid and the second longitudinal end portion being anchored to the primary lid;the biasing member being positioned so that the biasing member bends around the pivot bar and is held in tension in a longitudinal direction when the dispenser lid is in the closed position, causing the biasing member to pull the dispenser lid towards the open position. 10. The container of claim 9, wherein the second longitudinal end portion of the biasing member is inserted into an opening in the primary lid to anchor the second longitudinal end portion to the primary lid. 11. The container of claim 10, further comprising a flange formed at the second longitudinal end portion of the biasing member, the biasing member being positioned so that the flange prevents the biasing member from being pulled out of the opening. 12. The container of claim 9, further comprising an opening disposed at the first longitudinal end portion of the biasing member, the first longitudinal end portion being anchored to the dispenser lid by a protrusion on the dispenser lid that is inserted into the opening. 13. The container of claim 9, further comprising a catch plate disposed on the primary lid that locks the dispenser lid in the closed position.
