12. A resizable package for holding consumable product comprising:
-
a first package formed by a first pocket and a second pocket, the first and second pockets having an area of weakness disposed therebetween to permit separation of the first pocket from the second pocket, the first and second pockets being rotatable with respect to the other between a closed position of the first package and an open position of the first package, the first pocket including a slot for selectively retaining a flap extending from the second pocket to hold the first package in the closed position, the first and second pockets being substantially coplanar with one another in the closed position and lying in an adjacent overlapping offset tiered relation in the open position, and wherein the first pocket and second pocket are joined together at the area of weakness by a connecting flap and the connecting flap extends from the second pocket and is adhered to the first pocket; and a second package formed upon disconnecting the second pocket from the first pocket at the area of weakness, the second pocket including a slot for selectively retaining the flap extending from the second pocket to hold the second package in the closed position, the second package being smaller than the first package. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
