Apparatus having a guard for preventing splashing.

Apparatus which includes a container (26) having a side wall (58), a top end (28) and a bottom end for containing a product under pressure, a raised top end and/or bottom end to provide increased headspace (24), and, when needed, an internal splash guard for preventing the splashing of the contents when opening of the container. The splash guard may include an internal bead (60) formed in a side wall of the container and may also include an additional internal head (62) formed in the top end of the container. Head space may also be increased by reducing the diameter of the concavity formed in the top end. The concavity may also be formed in the bottom end or both the top and bottom end and the top end may comprise an easy open end.
