In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid, such as a thixotropic fluid. In some embodiments, a bottle having a closure cap includes a flip top, a base, and a disk, where the base and disk define a mixing chamber configured to facilitate mixing of any serum or liquid separated from the fluid back therein. In some configurations, the base has a central opening through which the fluid exits and an internal shaft with a non-planar end surface opposite the central opening. In some configurations, the non-planar end surface and the disk define channels between the mixing chamber and the internal shaft. In some embodiments, the disk includes a central opening, a plurality of partial annular openings through a planar surface of the disk, and projections extending into the mixing chamber.

A beverage product has a shot glass having an upper rim with an outside diameter, a quantity of a beverage in the shot glass, a substantially circular peel-off sealing element adhered by adhesive to the upper rim of the shot glass, retaining the beverage in the shot glass, and a shaker lid having a matrix of openings for dispensing salt, pepper or other material, the shaker lid assembled over the upper rim of the shot glass. A user purchasing the product removes the shaker lid, peels off the substantially circular peel-off sealing element, consumes the beverage, places salt, pepper or other material in the emptied shot glass and reattaches the shaker lid, rendering the combination as a salt or pepper shaker.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a cloud computer system for controlling a plurality of remote devices comprising a cloud server including a cloud based operating system comprising a data model stored in a computer memory. The data model includes commands that may be performed by a plurality of remote devices in a remote system and, for each remote device, one or more operations for triggering processes executed by the remote device. The cloud based operating system generates a set of instructions from the plurality of commands and corresponding operations to control a portion of the remote devices to perform a task.

A lateral applicator kit for a pipe has a first and a second application unit that are configured to apply a primer material or other substance to the exterior and interior lateral walls of a pipe. The first unit receives primer through a first supply engagement feature, which is in fluid communication with a first material reservoir internal to the first application unit and further in fluid communication with an application receptacle configured to receive, and apply primer to, the exterior lateral surface of a pipe. The application receptacle has at least one first material applicator connected across at least one first application opening through which primer is absorbed and distributed to the pipe. The application receptacle has a tapered, flexible applicator wall for adaptably accommodating a range of pipe diameters. The second unit is similarly but inversely configured to adaptably apply primer to the interior surface of a fitting.

A drinking container is provided that can include a lid member and a cup member. The lid member can include a base member and a spout extending up from the base member. The spout can provide a fluid passageway from outside the drinking container to the volume of the cup member so that a child may drink liquid contained within the cup member. When the lid member is removably coupled to the cup member, two or more seals are created around the circumference of the drinking container between the lid member and the cup member to decrease the likelihood of leakage from between the cup member and the lid member when the lid is coupled to the cup member.
