1. Apparatus comprising a dispensing container having walls with an inner side and an outer side, a tunnel within the dispensing container, the tunnel having an outer dispensing opening extending through the walls of the dispensing container and the inner side and the outer side of the walls, the tunnel having an inner receiving opening adapted for filling the tunnel from contents of the container when the container is placed in motion, whereby contents from the tunnel are dispensed by falling from the outer dispensing opening of the tunnel when the container is placed in motion;
wherein the tunnel extends across the container and the receiving opening of the tunnel is precisely spaced from an inner side of a wall of the container to limit movement of particles into the receiving opening; and
wherein a movable gate is positioned in the container, and wherein the gate has a complementary opening cooperating with the receiving opening to control a size of a lumen formed by the receiving opening in the tunnel and the complementary opening of the gate.
