1. A container comprising:
a sleeve comprising a front card and a substantially co-extensive back card connected by an integrally formed hinge;
the back card including score lines that define a flap, the flap being moveable to expose a dispensing window through which a compartment may be accessed;
the front card defining a locking boss opening and a large opening configured to receive a plurality of compartments; and
a blister rotatably sandwiched between the back card and the front card, the blister comprising a generally planar, circular body and the plurality of compartments, the plurality of compartments extending from the body and arranged radially around a centrally disposed hub, the hub defining a central rotational axis (A), each compartment defining a cavity for holding contents, each compartment comprising a bottom wall and a sidewall extending from the bottom wall and terminating in a top edge co-planar with the body;
the body defining a plurality of notches disposed around a periphery of the body, each notch located radially outward from a corresponding compartment;
the blister further comprising a member extending radially outward from the body and connected to the body by a removeable tab, the member comprising a downwardly extending locking boss; wherein
the container is configurable between a first, locked position in which the locking boss extends through the locking boss opening and nests within one of the plurality of notches so that the blister cannot rotate with respect to the front card and back card, and an unlocked position in which the locking boss does not extend through the opening and the blister is rotatable with respect to the front card and back card about the central axis (A).
