Abstract: A container for food products, which can be used as a money box after consumption of the products, comprises a hollow casing constituted by two trough-shaped bodies which can be joined together releasably at their complementary free edges. One of the free edges has a notch which defines a slot with other free edge when the bodies are joined together. The two bodies have shaped appendages which give the container an animal-like appearance, and some of the appendages serve to support the container with the slot facing upwardly.

Abstract: A package for a rigid or semi-rigid food product has a wrapper sheet which encloses the product and which can be torn along a transverse rupture line, and a take-up member which at least partly surrounds the portion of the wrapper sheet between one end of the product and the rupture line and by means of which the product may be held for consumption.

Abstract: A package for food products comprises a first container and a second container, which are filled respectively with a solid or solidifiable food product and a food product which can be used as a garnishing for the solid or solidifiable product.The first container is generally dish-shaped and has a rim with at least one straight side, and a straight edge located adjacent the bottom of the container and parallel to the straight side of the rim. The straight side and edge together define a flat side face of the first container.The second container is generally flat and has dimensions such as to allow it to be applied against the flat side face of the first container. The second container is at least partly compressible in order to expel the garnishing product contained therein.
