Disclosed herein is a package having: a housing defining a body and a container; a frangible closure which, in combination with the body, defines a soluble compartment; a frangible closure which, in combination with the container, defines a water compartment separate from the soluble compartment; a quantity of a soluble contained within the soluble compartment; and a quantity of water contained within the water compartment and which, if mixed with the soluble contained in the soluble compartment, produces an ingestible.

The spout cap of the present invention includes: a cap body that tubularly surrounds a mouth portion of a spout body, and is an injection molded article made of resin; and a sealing film that is bonded to one side in a penetration direction of the cap body and can be thermally bonded to a tip surface of the mouth portion. The cap body includes a tubular body portion, and a tab portion disposed outside in a caliber direction with respect to the body portion. The tab portion includes a tab base portion that projects outward in the caliber direction from the other side in the penetration direction of the body portion, and a tab body portion that extends from the tab base portion toward the one side in the penetration direction and faces the body portion on an outside in the caliber direction.

A plug for use in a cap assembly of a refill capsule is disclosed. The plug (300) generally comprises a hollow tubular body (302) with an open proximal end that is surrounded by a first rim (304) that provides a proximal abutment surface for bearing against a frangible sealing component of a cap assembly. A tubular skirt wall (306) is arranged coaxially with respect to the tubular body, and extends around the skirt wall (306) to form a plug recess (308) between the skirt wall (306) and the tubular body (302). The skirt wall (306) extends from a skirt distal end at which the skirt wall (306) is connected to the tubular body (302), to a free proximal end. The free proximal end of the skirt comprises an outwardly extending flange (310) comprising a distal facing abutment surface (312) for abutting a rim (406) of a refillable vessel (400).
