Abstract: A food container for holding fast food or other similar article is disclosed. The container is constructed from a cardboard blank which is cut and scored to define a top and bottom portion joined by a common back panel which is hinged. The bottom side panels each contain a single punch out tab whereby a user can insert his thumb to underlie the food article being consumed with his other fingers gripping the top of the food item to be consumed. The container further comprises a flip down front panel scored to a level above the bottom of the food container thereby allowing access to the food item for consumption yet not allowing juices from the food item to emerge from the food container.
