Claim:
1. A container for holding and dispensing at least one product, the container comprising: a housing having an open first end and an opposing closed second end, the housing at least partially enclosing a storage cavity, the housing including a top segment fixedly attached to and extending from a bottom segment, a portion of the bottom segment being located proximate the closed second end of the housing and a portion of the top segment being located proximate the open first end of the housing, each of the bottom segment and the top segment including a generally flat first sidewall and an opposing generally flat second sidewall that define the storage cavity, each sidewall defining a plane and each plane extending generally parallel with respect to the remaining planes, the planes defined by the first and second sidewalls of the bottom segment being spaced-apart a greater distance than a distance between the planes defined by the first and second sidewalls of the top segment; and a cover movably attached to the housing and surrounding at least a portion of the first and second sidewalls of the top segment of the housing, the cover including an aperture formed in a sidewall thereof, the cover being movable between a first position in which the aperture is substantially blocked to prevent the at least one product from being dispensed from the container and a second position in which the aperture is at least partially open to allow the at least one product to be dispensed from the container, wherein an end of the top segment proximate the first open end of the housing includes a protuberance that extends generally perpendicularly from the first and second sidewalls thereof and is located within the aperture, the protuberance generally preventing the cover from being removed from the top segment in the second position.
