Abstract
A container according to various embodiments of the invention includes a bottle, and a cap that is adapted to be attached adjacent the bottle (e.g., over the bottle's finish) to form an integrated container that is substantially in the form of a can. The integrated container may, for example, have dimensions that are substantially the same as the dimensions of a standard beverage can, such as a 12-ounce, 8.3-ounce, or 24-ounce beverage can. The container may be adapted, for example, to receive a beverage, food items, or toiletries. In addition, a method for dispensing the container from a standard beverage can dispenser is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of filling the bottle with a product, securing the cap adjacent to the bottle after filling the bottle with a product, and dispensing the resulting container from a standard can dispenser, such as a coin-operated automated vending machine.
