The elongated member is rotatably supported in a substantially horizontal direction within the carton by the support assembly. The support assembly has a slot with a generally teardrop shape. The teardrop shape has a larger diameter end and a smaller diameter end such that a portion of the rotatable member is slidable therebetween. The larger diameter end is sized to allow the rotatable member to rotate, and the smaller diameter end has a size smaller than the circumference of the rotatable member. The slot is positioned on the carton with the larger diameter end being elevated and closer to the opening than the smaller diameter end.
