A container (10) suitable for dispensing comestible products has a body (12) with a top face segment (36) having an opening (14) and a concave top face segment (18) and a separate continuous member (40) connected to a side face (24), the member having an openable lid portion (42) which covers the op
A container (10) suitable for dispensing comestible products has a body (12) with a top face segment (36) having an opening (14) and a concave top face segment (18) and a separate continuous member (40) connected to a side face (24), the member having an openable lid portion (42) which covers the opening and a flexible press portion (50) extending from the lid portion to the side face over the concave top segment face, which is normally convex to the concave top face segment, wherein application of a downward force to the convex flexible press portion transforms the convex portion to a concave portion and rotates the lid portion to uncover the opening.

1. A container comprising: a) a body comprising a top, a bottom face, a front face, a back face, and at least one side face, in which the top has at least two face segments comprising i. a first top face segment having an opening to the container, andii. a second downwardly sloping concave top face
1. A container comprising: a) a body comprising a top, a bottom face, a front face, a back face, and at least one side face, in which the top has at least two face segments comprising i. a first top face segment having an opening to the container, andii. a second downwardly sloping concave top face segment connected to the first top face segment and a side face; andb) a separate continuous flexible member connected to the side face, the member having i. a lid portion which covers the container opening,ii. a flexible press portion extending from the lid portion to the side face over the second top face segment, and normally convex to the second top face segment, andiii. a side portion extending from the flexible press portion and substantially covering the entire side face,wherein application of a downward force to the convex flexible press portion is capable of transforming the convex portion to concave, which rotates the lid portion to uncover the opening. 2. The container of claim 1 in which a top opening insert is hinged to the flexible member and adapted to engage the lid portion. 3. The container of claim 1 in which the first top face segment is parallel to the bottom face. 4. The container of claim 1 in which the flexible member is connected to the side face adhesively, mechanically, or by overmolding. 5. The container of claim 1 which has a bottom body opening and a bottom opening cover. 6. The container of claim 1 in which the flexible member further comprises a hinged bottom cover portion adapted to fit within a bottom body opening. 7. The container of claim 5 in which the bottom opening cover is fused shut. 8. The container of claim 1 in which the body is formed from a rigid plastic. 9. The container of claim 1 in which the flexible member is formed from a polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer. 10. The container of claim 1 adapted to dispense product pieces. 11. The container of claim 1 adapted to dispense comestibles. 12. The container of claim 11 in which the comestibles comprise chewing gum. 13. The container of claim 11 which contains 15 to 60 product pieces. 14. The container of claim 1 in which a side face is curved and forms a spout portion. 15. A container comprising: a) a body comprising a top, a bottom face, a front face, a back face, and at least one side face, in which the top has at least two face segments comprising i. a first top face segment having an opening to the container, andii. a second downwardly sloping concave top face segment connected to the first top face segment and a side face; andb) a separate continuous flexible member connected to the side face, the member having i. a lid portion which covers the container opening, andii. a flexible press portion extending from the lid portion to the side face over the second top face segment, and normally convex to the second top face segment,wherein application of a downward force to the convex flexible press portion is capable of transforming the convex portion to concave, which rotates the lid portion to uncover the opening, and wherein a top opening insert is hinged to the flexible member and adapted to engage the lid portion. 16. A container comprising: a) a body comprising a top, a bottom face, a front face, a back face, and at least one side face, in which the top has at least two face segments comprising i. a first top face segment having an opening to the container, andii. a second downwardly sloping concave top face segment connected to the first top face segment and a side face; andb) a separate continuous flexible member connected to the side face, the member having i. a lid portion which covers the container opening,ii. a flexible press portion extending from the lid portion to the side face over the second top face segment, and normally convex to the second top face segment, andiii. a hinged bottom cover portion adapted to fit within a bottom body opening,wherein application of a downward force to the convex flexible press portion is capable of transforming the convex portion to concave, which rotates the lid portion to uncover the opening.
