Don't you hate how cornstarch is packaged?

The Kingsford's comes in a box with a plastic inner liner. After
scooping out several tablespoons of cornstarch, the liner has bumped
the measuring spoon and flipped cornstarch everywhere.

I've tried the Betty Crocker cornstarch that comes in a cylinder. The
plastic top rotates open and closed. Of course the slot that opens is
too narrow to get the measuring spoon into. When trying to shake the
cornstarch into the measuring spoon it either cakes up and won't come
out of the container or big globs come out and go everywhere.

Does anyone make a workable container that allows you to use
cornstarch without spreading it everywhere?
