The pack has rectangular tray-like upper and lower parts, each of which have two opposing tray wall portions extending from two opposing tray base edges. Two opposing sidewalls, which extend from opposing tray base edges adjacent the opposing tray wall portions and which have a weakened wall member, connect the upper part and the lower part.
