Abstract: A container (100) with a lid lever (132) to disengage a lid present on a rim portion (112) of the container (100) is disclosed. The lid lever (132) is integrated between two cuts and is attached to a primary skirt (114) of the container (100). The lid lever (132) is pulled laterally outward towards a free end to disengage the lid. A secondary skirt (138) in the form of a flange is present behind the lid lever (132).
