A container assembly for storing and dispensing food items and beverages
having a vessel and a removable lid. The vessel defines a longitudinal
axis and has a first tongue and groove member. The removable lid has a lid
aperture for accessing an interior of the vessel, and a complementary
mating second tongue and groove member that is rotatable with the lid
about the longitudinal axis and relative to the first tongue and groove
member of the vessel between a lid secured configuration and a lid
releasing configuration. In the lid secured configuration, the tongue and
groove members fully engage one another, preventing longitudinal movement
of the lid member relative to the vessel. In the lid releasing
configuration, the tongue and groove members are configured so as to
permit longitudinal movement of the lid member relative to the vessel, and
such that the lid member is removable from the vessel.
