A plastic container is provided with a multi-part lid having a cutting edge which cuts into the side of the container and a dispensing compartment. Upon turning the lid in one direction a measured quantity of contents is forced into the dispensing compartment. Simultaneously a portion of the sides of the container are cut away and stored in a receptacle in the lid, the volume of the container being reduced an amount slightly greater than the quantity of contents dispensed.
