1. A dispensing system comprising: a squeezable dispenser bottle with a closed bottom end and an open top end defining a liner receiving opening and a sidewall therebetween constructed to compress inwardly when squeezed by hand; a dispenser cap constructed to releasably engage the top end of the bottle, the dispenser cap further including a nozzle aperture defining a flexible, peripheral sealing rim; and an elongated disposable liner having a closed bottom end and a peripheral sidewall cooperating to define a content receiving section pre-filled with a volume of flowable contents, the liner further including a pair of opposing transition shoulders that turn inwardly from the peripheral sidewall of the liner and a separable component projecting upwardly from the transition shoulders and concealing a liner opening leading into the content receiving section until removed, the separable component having a tip penetrating through the flexible, peripheral sealing rim of the nozzle aperture to seat at least a portion of the liner within the flexible sealing rim of the nozzle aperture coupling the liner to the dispenser cap and suspending the content receiving section within the bottle body with at least a portion of the liner opening projecting out through the nozzle aperture, the separable component being separable from the liner to expose the liner opening with the liner coupled to the dispenser cap wherein hand squeezing of the sidewall of the dispenser bottle in an inverted configuration disgorges at least a portion of the volume of flowable contents out through the liner opening from the content receiving section and wherein releasing the sidewall of the dispenser bottle closes the liner opening inhibiting the flow of the volume of flowable contents out through the liner opening.
