Abstract:
1. A container comprising a base and lid of plastic, the base and lid each having first and second sides and the second sides of the base and lid are latched together to inhibit initial opening thereat, said container forming an arrangement at said first side of the base and lid that requires an additional lift force on the lid to initially separate the lid first side from the base first side, but after the initial separation followed by closing of the lid it requires a lesser lift force to separate the lid first side from the base first side, wherein: at said first side, said lid and base are joined by a join line in an integral portion of said plastic, with said join line being weakened to be less resistant to tearing along said join line than along the rest of the plastic sheeting, to facilitate tearing at said join line; at said first side of said lid and base, said base has a projection extending radially outward from a gap in said join line that can be grasped, to lift said base first side with sufficient force to tear apart said lid and base along said join line and to lift said base first side with sufficient force to separate said lid first side from said base first side.
