An enclosed carton for carrying a plurality of containers in two rows, with a top row and a bottom row, said containers each having a diameter and an axis, the containers in the top row including a first container and a second container, the second container contacting the first container; the carton comprising: a top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, and closed ends, at least one of which is an exiting end; the exiting end being formed of end flaps; the first container contacting the exiting end; the containers in the bottom row including an end container; the end container contacting the exiting end;a dispenser which can be flipped over at the exiting end to form an opening through which the containers may be removed;the dispenser comprising portions of the carton; the portions including a portion of the top panel, a portion of the first side panel, a portion of the second side panel, and a portion of the exiting end; said portions being defined by a tear line extending across the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the exiting end;the tear line extending across the top panel spaced between the axis of the first container and the axis of the second container; the tear line in the exiting end extending the entirety of the distance between the first side panel and the second side panel;a finger flap located along the tear line in the top panel; the finger flap is located between the axis of the first container and the axis of the second container;the tear line in the exiting end separating the portion of the exiting end comprising the dispenser from a bottom end structure; the bottom end structure having a height above the bottom panel that is less than the diameter of said end container; andwherein, when the dispenser is flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end, a basket is formed, the basket catching the first container as the dispenser is flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end. 2. The carton of claim 1 wherein the first container is moved with the dispenser as the dispenser is being flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end. 3. The carton of claim 1 wherein the dispenser can be reclosed. 4. The carton of claim 1 wherein the containers are cans or bottles. 5. The carton of claim 1 wherein the first container has a diameter at its largest section, and wherein at least a portion of the tear line in the top panel is spaced from the exiting end more than the diameter of the first container. 6. The carton of claim 1 wherein when the carton is disposed on a substantially flat surface, the dispenser can be detached from the top panel and opened to contact the surface without detaching the dispenser from the exiting end. 7. The carton of claim 1 in which the dispenser remains attached to the carton when the dispenser is flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end. 8. The carton of claim 1 which is only capable of carrying six containers in the top row and six containers in the bottom row. 9. The carton of claim 1 wherein the tear line in the exiting end is spaced from the bottom panel less than a diameter of the end container in the bottom row. 10. The carton of claim 1 wherein structural integrity of the carton is preserved after the dispenser has been separated along the tear line in the top panel, in the first side panel, and in the second side panel. 11. The carton of claim 1 wherein each of the containers in the top row is positioned directly above a corresponding container in the bottom row. 12. The carton of claim 1 wherein the end container has a diameter and wherein the tear line in the exiting end is located a height from the bottom panel that is less than the diameter. 13. The carton of claim 1 wherein the carton does not include cut lines for receiving adhesive on the first side panel or the second side panel. 14. The carton of claim 1 wherein, after dispensing the first container, the dispenser can be pivoted toward the top panel to reclose the dispenser. 15. The carton of claim 1 wherein the enclosed carton is not adhesively attached to another carton. 16. The carton of claim 1 wherein the tear line across the exiting end forms a single tear line entirely across the exiting end. 17. The carton of claim 1 further comprising a handle in the carton, and wherein the handle is not in the exiting end. 18. An enclosed carton for carrying a plurality of containers in two rows, with a top row and a bottom row, said containers each having a diameter and an axis, the containers in the top row including a first container and a second container, the second container contacting the first container; the carton comprising: a top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, and closed ends, at least one of which is an exiting end; the exiting end being formed of end flaps; the first container contacting the exiting end; the containers in the bottom row including an end container; the end container contacting the exiting end;a dispenser which can be flipped over at the exiting end to form an opening through which the containers may be removed;the dispenser comprising portions of the carton; the portions including a portion of the top panel, a portion of the first side panel, a portion of the second side panel, and a portion of the exiting end; said portions being defined by a tear line extending across the top panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the exiting end;the tear line extending across the top panel spaced between the axis of the first container and the axis of the second container; the tear line in the exiting end extending the entirety of a distance between the first side panel and the second side panel;the tear line in the exiting end separating the portion of the exiting end comprising the dispenser from a bottom end structure; the bottom end structure having a height above the bottom panel that is less than the diameter of said end container; andwherein, when the dispenser is flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end, a basket is formed, the basket catching the first container as the dispenser is flipped over along the tear line in the exiting end; andwherein the tear line is contiguous to form a closed loop.
