A cap for a squeeze bottle that is simply constructed, easily manufactured, simple to assemble and easily reassembled. The cap includes three components, a rounded lid with a slot, a nozzle with a near spherical base and an extended cone portion, and a gasket with a platform, a nozzle seat and a skirt wall.

A container cap which is combined with a container containing a beverage or the like, and a container combined with the container cap. The container cap is combined with a container inlet of a container body. A plurality of close contact portions in contact with the container inlet are formed, and the close contact portions form a closed curve enclosing the container inlet so as to block inflow of external air from the outside into the container body.

A protrusion on a container neck is provided. The protrusion is configured to interface with hinged, tethered closures to bias the body of the closure away from the container neck.

Disrupted closures are described herein which can provide for consistent flow paths for gas transfer from a container. The closures include a sealing member extending on the inside of the closure to contact a vented liner and/or the rim of a container. The sealing member includes a sealing portion and one or more disruptions in the sealing portion to provide gas pathways to the ambient atmosphere.
