wherein:
the mouth includes:
a mouth circumferential wall having an outer circumferential surface,
a male thread, and
a ring-shaped bead portion provided around a lower portion of the male thread,
the container is a wide mouth container in which a diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the mouth circumferential wall is 60 mm or more, and the container is configured to contain a beverage or food,
the cap includes a ring-shaped skirt wall on which a female thread threadedly engaged with the male thread is formed, and a ring-shaped tamper evident band provided on a lower end portion of the skirt wall,
the tamper evident band includes a resiliently deformable portion,
a first distance from an engagement upper end of the male thread of the mouth to the bead portion is larger than a second distance from an engagement lower end of the female thread of the cap to the resiliently deformable portion of the tamper evident band such that, during the attachment of the cap to the mouth of the container body by screwing the cap onto the mouth of the container body, the female thread of the cap and the male thread of the mouth start to be threadedly engaged first, and then the resiliently deformable portion of the tamper evident band abuts the bead portion when the female thread is engaged with the male thread over an engagement length of 13 mm or more, and then the resiliently deformable portion of the tamper evident band is pressed against the bead portion by a support of further threaded engagement between the male thread and the female thread to ride over the bead portion in a direction toward the container body.
