1. A process for controlling a level of a product in a container, the process comprising:
engaging an exterior surface of the container containing the product at a first product level; and
applying a force to the exterior surface of the container to cause the container to change from a first volume to a second volume, wherein the first volume is less than the second volume;
whereupon cessation of the force results in the container containing the product at a second product level, and wherein the container remains at the second volume following cessation of the force.
