A plunger having first and second sides is disposed in the interior cavity of the container. The interior cavity of the container and the first side of the base cooperatively define a product cavity. The interior cavity of the container and the second side of the base cooperatively define an air cavity. A valve mechanism is in engagement with the second end portion of the container.
