Provided is a storage and delivery system that includes a container containing a stable liquid composition therein for increasing the viscosity of an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff and having a viscosity of less than 2000 cP and a water activity of greater than 95%, wherein the composition comprises one or more thickening agents and one or more polysaccharides, and a pump dispenser sealingly attached to the container and having a valve for inhibiting or preventing drying of the composition in the container. Further provided is a method of delivering a stable liquid composition to an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff by use of the storage and delivery system. A method for increasing the viscosity of an aqueous liquid or aqueous liquid solid mixture foodstuff by adding the stable liquid composition thereto is also provided.

A charging apparatus for a handheld electronic device includes a housing configured to removably attach to the handheld electronic device. The housing includes at least one electronic logic board, and an accessory station configured to store and charge at least one accessory item of the handheld electronic device. The electronic logic board includes a coil configured to wirelessly provide or accept power to and from the handheld electronic device. A software installed on the electronic logic board is configured to control a power transfer between at least two of the following: the accessory item, the accessory station, the housing, and the handheld electronic device. The housing includes a magnetic material configured to removably attach to a corresponding magnetic material of the handheld electronic device.

The container for a molded food product is provided with a hollow body including a bottom wall and a side wall extending from the bottom wall to a wide end provided with a discharge opening. The bottom wall has an outer edge extending around a longitudinal axis of the container and a venting device manually operable to define one or more vent holes in the bottom wall. The venting device includes a push member provided with an actuation portion and at least one first hinge adjacent to the actuation portion. The push member is longitudinally movable between an initial proximal position, in which the vent holes are closed by corresponding closing members, and a predetermined distal position, in which the vent holes are open.

A tote with a drainage system for evenly distributing water through all four sides is provided. The tote includes a first end wall, a second opposing end wall, a first side wall, a second opposing side wall, and a bottom wall. A bumper extends outward around the periphery of the tote. A plurality of D-shaped drain holes are positioned a first distance above the upper surface of the bottom wall which allow liquid in the tote to drain evenly out of the tote through the bumper.
