Claim:
1. A product that includes: a glass container including a neck having an interior passage including a through bore, a counterbore, and an internal step between the throughbore and counterbore; and a fitment coupled to the neck of the container in the counterbore thereof via an interference fit between the container neck and a metal outer wall of the fitment, wherein the interference fit non-removably secures the fitment to the container to render the product tamper-evident, and wherein an interior axial end of the fitment is axially located against the internal step in the container and an outer axial end of the fitment extends axially out the container axially beyond a lip of the container to form an anti-drip feature, wherein the fitment includes an exterior circumferential surface, an interior circumferential surface, and a tapered surface between the circumferential surfaces at the interior end of the fitment to establish an edge that discourages attempts to remove the fitment from the container, wherein the fitment outer wall has an axial length such that it bottoms out at the internal step in the container and extends out of the container to the outer axial end.
