1. A dispensing container, comprising:

  • an outer shell comprising a top, a bottom, sidewalls extending between the top and bottom, and two open ends;

    an inner tray, slidably received within the outer shell via one of the open ends, comprising at least one storage compartment adapted for storage of a plurality of units of a product to be dispensed, and comprising two pairs of opposing depressible detents disposed at opposing ends of the inner tray in spaced relation to the storage compartment, one of the opposing depressible detents in each of the pairs comprising a raised surface that abuts an edge of the top of the outer shell, and the other of the opposing depressible detents in each of the pairs comprising a raised surface that abuts an edge of the bottom of the outer shell;

    wherein, in a closed configuration, the raised surfaces of the pairs of opposing depressible detents abut the open ends of the outer shell to hold the inner tray within the outer shell,wherein the opposing depressible detents of either of the pairs are configured to be concurrently depressed by pressure such that the raised surfaces thereof do not abut a corresponding one of the open ends of the outer shell to allow the inner tray to slide relative to the outer shell,wherein the opposing depressible detents of either of the pairs are configured to flex inwardly into a space outside the storage compartment when concurrently depressed by the pressure, andwherein the inner tray may slide out from either of the two open ends of the outer shell in association with depression of the opposing depressible detents of either of the pairs.
