1. A pre-form for a liquid dispensing device, comprising:
an inner layer; and
an outer layer,
a top portion of the inner layer connected to a top portion of the outer layer;
the inner layer comprising a first protrusion from a bottom surface of the inner layer that extends, through an opening in a bottom surface of the outer layer, through the entire thickness of the outer layer and beyond the bottom surface of the outer layer, the first protrusion including a flattened end portion so as to provide a bottom connection between the inner layer and the outer layer,
the inner layer further comprising an integrally molded pusher, being a second protrusion from its bottom surface, the pusher configured to push the bottom surface of the inner layer upwards when pressure is applied to an exposed distal end of the pusher by a user, to separate the inner layer from the outer layer.
