The invention is a method of venting the degradation products of an ascorbic acid containing composition. This prevents a build-up of carbon dioxide and may prolong the life of the packaging. The packaging includes an impermeable container and a semi-permeable top, which allows carbon dioxide to vent over time. When the composition includes water, the surface area of semi-permeable material contacting the composition is reduced to lessen water vapor loss.

An automatic cup covering system for an intelligent drinking bar has a base, a lifting device and a cup covering device. The base has a cup holder opening for receiving a cup. An end of the base away from the cup holder opening has a support. The lifting device is on the support and directly above the cup holder opening. The cup covering device is configured to cover a cup rim of the cup. The lifting device has a lifting connector that is movable, and the cup covering device is connected to the lifting connector. After receiving a drink, the cup is placed into the cup holder opening, and the lifting device causes the cup covering device to hold a cup lid and cover the cup rim with the cup lid from top to bottom.
