A configurable container is provided that has an interior surface configured to secure one or more rigid or flexible dividers and to allow for reconfigurable interior compartments of the container. The dividers may also include an integrated material such as a gel that can be heated or cooled in order to maintain a desired temperature within the container. The container may include a lid that engages the top surfaces of the dividers to establish a plurality of substantially sealed compartments within the container.

In a first aspect, the current invention concerns a lid assembly for a drinking container, the lid assembly comprising a lid housing having a drinking opening, a sealing assembly comprising a sealing assembly body and a sealing element which is moveable between a first closed position and a second open position, and an operating assembly for operating the sealing assembly to move the sealing element between the first and second positions. In particular, the lid assembly further comprises a mounting member onto which the sealing assembly body is pivotally mounted, about a pivot axis, and wherein the mounting member is releasably connectable to the lid housing. The invention further concerns an interior mechanism for a lid assembly, and a drinking container comprising such a lid assembly.
