ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A disposable package for dispensing liquids with a controlled rate of flow is described, such as for syrup for use with a post- mix soft drink dispenser. The disposable package includes a thin walled plastic or glass container with a closed end and an open end defining a discharge opening with a flow rate control tube positioned in said container in a predetermined position. The flow rate control tube has a closed rupturable, openable or fran- gible sealed end, which extends through the closed end of the container, and an open end, which is disposed at a predetermined distance within the container from the position of the discharge opening. The discharge or open end of the container is sealed by a removable cap and a rupturable membrane. In use with a post-mix dispensing device, the cap is removed and the container inverter or placed with its open end down for insertion into the dispensing device. The dispensing device is provided with a piercing device which ruptures the membrane across the open end of the container to permit fluid flow from the container into the dispenser. Once the container is inserted within the dispenser, the openable end of the flow rate control tube is opened by rupture or by removal of a seal and, thereafter, the flow rate control tube will effec- tively control the rate of flow of liquid from the container into the dispenser. The sealed end of the flow rate control tube may be contained within a recessed portion of the container adjacent the closed end thereof to protect the sealed end from rupture during shipping of the disposable package. A check valve may be placed at the open end of the flow control tube to preclude spillage in operable condition when the package temperature is elevated and the trapped head-space expands exerting back-pressure.
