    (54) Snack-food packaging


    (57) A snack-food packaging particularly suitable for snack-foods having two components which cannot be stored together, such as pieces of a dry snack-food and a liquid dip therefor. The packaging has a shell (10) moulded from a plastics material to define first and second open-topped containers (11 and 12) with a flange (13) extending around the mouths to the containers. A tapering gap 19 exists between the containers, into which a consumer may press his fingers, to hold the container, the region (18) of the flange (13) flexing if necessary to widen the gap (19). A strippable cover sheet (20) is sealed to the flange (13) to maintain the contents of the containers wholly separate until the cover is stripped.
