A foil for closing an opening in a container, such as an easy opening container, includes foil to be adhered to the container. The foil includes a tab for releasing the foil from the container. The tab is folded on the foil and connected thereto via a connector and the tab is provided with a breakout device such that upon actuating the tab a visible and irreparable broken out part is formed and adhered to the foil.

A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.
