Abstract: A collapsible bag for dispensing liquids, including viscous liquids such as syrup and the like, comprising a first wall, a second wall, a spout, a surface variation associated with the first wall. The first wall and second wall are connected together to define a fluid chamber therebetween. The first wall and the second wall each have an inner surface facing the fluid chamber and an opposed outer surface. The spout is attached to one of the first and second walls, and has an opening therethrough having an axis substantially perpendicular to the one of the first and second walls to which it is attached. The surface variation is molded into at least a portion of the first wall. The surface variation limits contact between the inner surfaces of the first wall and the second wall so as to define a minimum unstressed volume therebetween wherein at least a portion of the minimum unstressed volume is maintained substantially throughout evacuation of liquid therefrom by suction.
