1. A container, comprising:
a container body, said container body defining a first opening to an interior of said container body; and
a lid connected to the container body and covering the first opening to the interior of said container body;
wherein the container body is made out of a resin;
wherein the lid is made out of a metal;
wherein the container body comprises a container side wall and a horizontally-extending portion connected to the container side wall;
wherein the horizontally-extending portion comprises a bottom having a depression formed therein, said depression extending upwardly from an extant of the bottom;
wherein a cross-sectional diameter of the first opening to the interior of said container body is less than a cross-sectional diameter of a middle portion of said container body;
wherein the horizontally-extending portion defines a diameter that is less than the cross-sectional diameter of the middle portion of said container body;
wherein a lower portion of the container side wall extends downwardly from the middle portion of the container side wall to the horizontally-extending portion of the container body, said lower portion being greater in diameter along its entirety than the horizontally-extending portion, including the bottom, thereby rendering the container body stemless;
wherein the container body further comprises a circular neck extending from the container side wall so that the container side wall extends between the circular neck and the horizontally-extending portion;
wherein an upper edge of said container side wall is adjacent to the circular neck of the container body;
wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the middle portion of said container body is defined by the container side wall;
wherein the container body further comprises a lip at the end of the circular neck opposite the upper edge of said container side wall;
wherein said circular neck is adjacent to the lip;
wherein a first portion of the lid is above the lip of the container body;
wherein a second portion of the lid extends horizontally and is vertically offset from the first portion of the lid;
wherein the second portion of the lid defines a total area across which the second portion of the lid extends horizontally;
wherein the second portion of the lid comprises a weakened or scored area;
wherein the weakened or scored area is less than the total area across which the second portion of the lid extends horizontally;
wherein the lid further comprises an arm connected to the second portion of the lid;
wherein the arm is pivotable from a first position, in which the arm extends horizontally and the weakened or scored area is not deformed, to a second position, in which the arm does not extend horizontally and the weakened or scored area is deformed to provide a second opening to the interior of said container body;
wherein an upper portion of the container side wall extends upwardly from the middle portion of the container side wall to the upper edge of the container side wall, said upper portion being greater in diameter along its entirety than the first opening to the interior of said container body;
wherein the container contains a liquid; and
wherein, when the arm of the lid is in the first position and the weakened or scored area is not deformed:
said liquid fills, or nearly fills, the interior of the container body, which interior extends continuously along a height of the entirety of the upper portion of the container wall so as to be interrupted only by the liquid; and
an actual volume of the liquid contained in the container is equal to, or less than, 211.5 mL.
