Claim:
1. A container, comprising: a thread arranged around an opening of the container for engaging a corresponding thread of a closure; more than four retention members arranged around the opening, each retention member having a flat surface, wherein the flat surface abuts a member on an interior surface of the closure to impede unthreading of the closure; wherein the retention members are arranged into two first retention members and two groups of retention members, the two first retention members being arranged at opposite sides of the container and wherein the flat surface of the two first retention members are aligned to define a first plane bisecting the container and wherein a first one of the first retention members and a first one of the two groups are arranged on one side of the first plane and a second one of the first retention members and a second one of the two groups are arranged on the other side of the first plane, and wherein a second one of the two first retention members and a second one of the two groups are arranged on the other side of the first plane, wherein further each of the first retention members are in separate respective quadrants of the container from one another, wherein the quadrants are defined by the first plane bisecting the container and a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane bisecting the container and intersects with the first plane bisecting the container and wherein the second plane is aligned to the first flat surfaces of each of the two groups of the retention members; and wherein teeth of each of the two groups have a first inter-tooth spacing of substantially one tooth-length, and wherein a second inter-tooth spacing exists between the flat surface of one of the first retention members and a retention member of one of the two groups of retention members closest to the first one of the first retention members and wherein the second inter-tooth spacing is larger than the first inter-tooth spacing.
