An article of manufacture for providing multiple cups with a removable separator is disclosed. The multiple cups with a removable separator includes a top cup, a bottom cup, a plastic flap insert, and an interlocking separator being coupling to the top cup on a first side of the interlocking separator and being coupled to the bottom cup on a second side of the interlocking separator. The interlocking separator includes a mixing slot passing between the first side and the second side, an opening across the interlocking separator oriented parallel to the first side and the second side, the opening configured to accept the plastic flap insert to provide a separating barrier between an attached top cup and an attached bottom cup, a retaining groove around the mixing slot and configured to align with the opening to engage edges of the plastic flap insert when installed into the opening and across the mixing slot, and a set of seals positioned on both sides of the retaining groove to engage the plastic flap insert when installed, the set of seals continue across the opening to engage the plastic flap insert when installed.

The Improved Salad Dressing Preparation and Storage Container is a food preparation device that allows for conveniently measuring, mixing, and dispensing of homemade vinaigrette salad dressing. The device uses two adjacent, adjoined compartments that are volumetrically proportioned to allow for the recommended ratio of oil and vinegar (acid) to be consistently achieved by filling them with oil and vinegar to the same apparent level. The Improved Salad Dressing Preparation and Storage Container may also be configured for commercial sale pre-filled with the oil and vinegar contents, those kept separated by sealing the adjoined compartments using an adapted seal. The pre-filled container may be designed and marketed for secondary use by consumers for use in making their own vinaigrette salad dressing recipes.

A hand-held applicator includes a first applicator layer adjacent a first reservoir and a finger-receiving space for securely holding the applicator. When the first applicator layer is external facing, the fill material is dispensed outside the applicator and when the first applicator layer faces into the finger receiving space the fill material is dispensed into the finger-receiving space and applied to the finger or fingers in the finger-receiving space. The applicator may further include a second applicator layer adjacent a second reservoir and opposite the first applicator layer and first reservoir to securely store and dispense a second amount of the fill material. Reservoir access layers separate the first applicator layer and first reservoir, and the second applicator layer and second reservoir and transform between a first, closed position where the fill material is securely stored in a reservoir and a second, open position where fill material is dispensed from a reservoir through an applicator layer.

The tumbler bottle includes a cup having a side wall interior surface and bottom wall a convex interior surface. The cup side wall and bottom wall interior surfaces are joined by a smooth, arcuate interior transition surface to define a first mixing chamber. The tumbler bottle further includes a lid, removably connected with the cup. The lid includes a side wall interior surface and a top wall concave interior surface. The lid side wall and top wall interior surfaces are joined by a smooth, arcuate interior transition surface to define a second mixing chamber. The lid further includes a dispensing outlet and a closure. When coupled together the first mixing chamber and the second mixing chamber are in fluid communication and are configured to uniformly mix a liquid with one or more additives.

A packaged food product includes a container having at least one dough product and a cup within the container. The cup includes at least one sidewall, a plurality of tapered guide members located at spaced circumferential positions about the sidewall, a bottom wall and an upper annular rim. The rim also defines an opening, opposite the bottom wall, leading to an interior storage cavity of the cup. During initial insertion of the cup into a container, first portions of the guide members are progressively pressed against an interior sidewall surface of the container and assure a proper, level alignment of the cup, preventing the cup from tipping during insertion. With further insertion, second portions of the guide members lead to the rim, with the rim having a diameter which assures a tight friction fit, potentially in combination with a cup seal cover, to an inner diameter of the container.

Disclosed is a container for mixing different types of cosmetics including a first container part in which a first cosmetic content is stored; a second container part detachably coupled to the first container part and in which a second cosmetic content is stored; and a mixing part coupled to the second container part to be elevated and ejects the second cosmetic content into the first container part to mix the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content, wherein the first container part and the second container part are independently separated from each other, and when the first container part and the second container part are coupled to each other to press the mixing part, the second cosmetic content stored in the second container part is introduced into the first container part so that the first cosmetic content and the second cosmetic content are mixed with each other.
