Abstract: A device (2) for effecting opening of a sealed bag-like flexible packet (4) and for dispensing its contents. The device (2) includes two interconnected limbs (6, 8), each limb includes an inside (12) and an outside (10) surface, and is of a size at least equal to one dimension of the packet (4), to facilitate placing the packet (4) in between the limbs (6, 8). The device (2) also includes a mechanism (32, 36) located at the end portions of the limbs (6, 8) facilitating piercing or cutting the packet (4) to form an opening (38), allowing the contents to be dispensed upon effecting a sequential squeezing action on the packet (4) starting from a point distant from the opening (38).
