The container contains a concave body bounded by an edge and at least one post protruding from the concave body member. The container also contains a first end and a second end in opposition to each other. The sealing member is affixed to the edge to form a seal, which keeps the product between the sealing member and the concave body member.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for advertising a deodorizer. The method has the steps of using a color indicator and a color change reaction caused by the color indicator; and visualizing the malodor removal performance of the product by the color change. The advertising method also has the steps of preparing a promotion product and a comparative product; preparing at least two separate closed spaces; and then, in any order: placing the promotion product inside one of the closed spaces; placing a material inside each closed space, wherein the material comprises a color indicator; adding a malodor substance to each of the closed spaces to thereby cause a color change to the color indicator. Finally, the last step is that of showing the difference of the material color between the promotion product and the comparative product. These steps are visually recorded to form an advertisement and wherein the advertisement is transferred electronically.
