1 - 43 . (canceled) 
     
     
         44 . A dispensing system for a container, the system comprising a cap and a storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item, the cartridge being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, in which the breaching means are contained in the cartridge and are activated upon rotation of the cap whereby to dispense the consumable or other item into a container. 
     
     
         45 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the cap comprises an overcap and the system further comprises a base which is attachable to a container. 
     
     
         46 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the cap is rotatable with respect to the base to activate the breaching means. 
     
     
         47 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the base is removable from the container. 
     
     
         48 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the cartridge is collapsible. 
     
     
         49 . The system as claimed in  claim 48 , in which the breaching means are activated by collapse of the cartridge. 
     
     
         50 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the closure member comprises a membrane. 
     
     
         51 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the breaching means comprise piercing means. 
     
     
         52 . The system as claimed in  claim 44 , in which the cap comprises a cam arrangement to activate the breaching means. 
     
     
         53 . The system as claimed in  claim 45 , in which the cartridge comprises an opening through which the consumable or other item is dispensed into the container in use, the opening being sealed by a laminar panel, and the cartridge being welded to the base. 
     
     
         54 . A dispensing system for a container, the system comprising a cap and a collapsible storage cartridge for containing a consumable or other item, the cartridge being attached or attachable to the cap, the cartridge comprising a breachable closure member and breaching means for breaching the closure member, the breaching means being activatable by collapse of the cartridge, in which rotation of the cap causes the cartridge to collapse whereby to dispense the consumable or other item into a container. 
     
     
         55 . A cartridge for a dispensing system, the cartridge comprising a body for containing a consumable or other item, at least part of the body being collapsible and the body being closable by a breachable closure member, in which, in use, collapse of the cartridge causes breaching of the closure to dispense the consumable or other item. 
     
     
         56 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 55 , in which the cartridge is generally cone-shaped. 
     
     
         57 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 55 , in which at least part of the cartridge is corrugated. 
     
     
         58 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 55 , in which the cartridge comprises a roof and a base. 
     
     
         59 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 58 , in which the roof is generally frustoconical. 
     
     
         60 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 58 , in which the roof comprises a series of concentric steps. 
     
     
         61 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 55 , in which the cartridge comprises a channel for receiving a cam member. 
     
     
         62 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 61 , in which the channel is annular. 
     
     
         63 . The cartridge as claimed in  claim 61 , in which the channel is helical.
