The dispenser pattern defines a removable portion ( 92 ) that is separable along the dispenser pattern to form an opening into an interior of the carton. The dispenser pattern includes first ( 60 ) and second ( 62 ) end tear lines formed in respective first ( 32 ) and second ( 36 ) side exiting end flaps. Each of the first and second end tear lines includes a lower ( 56,57 ) end section. The two lower end sections of these end tear lines diverge away from each other toward a bottom panel of the carton and define therebetween a bottom end section of the removable portion.
