Patent ID: 8091242

Claim:
A dispensing utensil comprising: a handle having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a frangible connection intermediate the first and second end portions; opposing sidewall portions of the first and second end portions of the handle; an elongate cavity defined by the opposing sidewall portions of the first and second end portions of the handle for storing dispensable contents therein; an upper surface of the opposing sidewall portions defining a first opening along the handle to allow for filling of the cavity initially; a cover affixed to the upper surface to close the first opening of the handle and seal the cavity; an implement extending from the handle; a step profile of one of the first and second end portions extending inwardly from the opposing sidewall portions thereof toward the frangible connection and restricting failure of the handle to failure along the frangible connection, which creates first and second frangible connection edges which can interact to re-close the handle and a hinge formed by at least the cover to provide a second opening when the frangible connection is severed by pivoting one of the first and second end portions using the hinge, thereby allowing the contents to be dispensed.
