Claim:
A paperboard carton for articles arranged in an end-on-end relationship, the carton comprising: six sides, the six sides including a first side disposed between a second side and a third side, the first side being perpendicular a fourth side, the second side, and the third side, the second side and the third side being parallel, a two-piece dispenser that includes a first portion and a second portion; the first portion defined at least partially along its perimeter by a first tear line; the first portion extending at least partially into the first side, the second side, and the third side; the first portion being removable entirely from the carton along the first tear line; after the first portion is entirely removed from the carton, a first opening for article removal is created; the second portion being adjacent the first portion and being defined at least partially along its perimeter by the first tear line, a first provision, and a second provision; the second portion does not extend into the second side or the third side; the first provision having a first end proximate the first portion and a second end distal the first portion, the second end of the first provision being intersected by a first intersection line that prevents the first provision from extending beyond its intended length; the second provision having a first end proximate the first portion and a second end distal the first portion, the second end of the second provision being intersected by a second intersection line that prevents the second provision from extending beyond its intended length; the second portion being separable along the first provision and the second provision to create a second opening in the carton; and wherein the second opening and the first opening together define an enlarged opening, the enlarged opening enabling easier article removal from the carton than the first opening alone.
