A weight sensing cooler assembly includes a cooler that is comprised of a thermally insulating material for storing cooled beverages. A scale is movably integrated into the cooler for measuring the weight of the cooler. Moreover, the scale compares the weight of the cooler against a pre-determined baseline weight to determine the number of cooled beverages in the cooler. A display unit is coupled to the cooler wherein the display unit is configured to be visible to a user. The display unit is in electrical communication with the scale thereby facilitating the display unit to display a visual representation of the number of the cooled beverages in the cooler. In this way the display unit can communicate the number of cooled beverages to the user.

A sterilization package includes a first package layer and a second package layer coupled to the first package layer with a perimeter seal extending around a portion of the sterilization package to define a pouch having a proximal end and a distal end. A first sterilization indicium is disposed on the second package layer exterior of the pouch and a second sterilization indicium is disposed on the second package layer interior of the pouch. The first and second sterilization indicia are multi-parameter sterilization indicia configured to be responsive to a sterilization process such that the first and second sterilization indicia undergo a visual change to a desired ending color when the package is subjected to complete multi-parameter sterilization conditions.

A product includes a container, a photosensitive material carried by the container and responsive to ultraviolet light, and a UV protector carried by the container to protect the photosensitive material from exposure to UV light. A method of producing a food or beverage container includes applying a photochromic material to a food or beverage container that is responsive to ultraviolet (UV) light so as to darken upon exposure thereto, and protecting at least a portion of the photochromic material from exposure to UV light.

Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical material—such as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lens—which may have various shapes. In a preferred embodiment, lid is shaped to define a recessed area with scent openings permitting aroma sampling of a sample contained within. A removable plug is shaped to fit within the recessed area of the lid. The container body and lid, with removable plug fit within the lid, form an airtight chamber within. A botanical sample may be visualized through the lens.

A lid for a container is described. The lid has a basin that is designed to enhance the user's olfactory experience when drinking a beverage from the container and lid. As the user tilts the container and lid to take a drink, the beverage pours through an opening on the basin valley and flows across a sipping surface area to the user's mouth, thus allowing the beverage to aerate, evaporate, and cool. The basin is sized and dimensioned to channel and concentrate the vapor rising from the beverage towards the user's nose as the user sips the beverage. The basin and the opening are sized and dimensioned to provide a comfortable and secure feeling when drinking hot beverages. In this manner, the lid enhances the drinker's olfactory experience and provides better controllability of the flow of a hot beverage to prevent burn injuries.

Provided herein are dietary supplement compositions comprising a plurality of beadlets and an oil. Provided herein are also dietary supplement compositions comprising a plurality of mini-tabs and oil. The beadlets or mini-tabs comprise at least one nutrient that is miscible in aqueous solution, and the oil comprises at least one fat-soluble nutrient. The composition may be contained within one or more capsules, and be packaged with a scented insert.

A device for indicating exposure to a pressure. The device may include a base layer, a plurality of microcapsules, and a coating, with the microcapsules being disposed between the base layer and the coating. The microcapsules contain a indicator material that can be released once the microcapsules burst. The microcapsules then have a compressive bursting strength that is chosen or designed to be less than a selected pressure (e.g., the pressure being that to which a particular article may be exposed during high pressure processing). Thus, when the device is subjected to a pressure greater than the compressive bursting strength, at least some microcapsules burst, the indicator material is released from the microcapsules, and the release of the indicator material can be detected by observation of the device. The device may be a label that is associated (such as by being affixed) to the article being subjected to pressure (or multiple labels being associated (such as by being affixed) to multiple articles. Alternatively, the device may be associated with an article or articles without being affixed thereto.

Stopper for bottles, comprising a pouring element (1) assembled with a hinged closing cap (2), the closing cap (2) being able to be placed in an open position and a closed position, characterized in that said closing cap (2) comprises a protrusion (3) in its closest part to the pouring element (1), whose protrusion (3) contacts the pouring element (1) in the open position of the closing cap (2).

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for controlling scent delivery by a scented article for beverage containers. In some aspects, a scent delivery system includes a cap attachable to a beverage container; and a scented article that couples to the cap, wherein the cap comprises a base, a movable component coupled to the base and able to move between a first position and a second position, and a scent chamber including an encasement to which the scented article is attached, the encasement coupled to the movable component or the base, wherein a portion of the scented article is exposed to air from an outside environment with respect to the cap when the movable component is in the second position, and wherein the encasement creates a contact seal to enclose the scented article within the scent chamber and lock in the scent when the movable component is in the first position.

A drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance comprises a storage container (12) for drinking liquid, a head part (14), which can be fastened on the storage container and has a mouth end (28), at least one exchangeable aroma container (20), through which air can flow and which can be fastened on the head part, and a drinking straw, which is fixed in the head part, said drinking straw comprising: a transport channel (18) for drinking liquid, said transport channel extending from the storage container (12) towards the mouth end (28) of the drinking device (10); and an air channel (78) for transporting aromatized air, said air channel extending from at least one of the at least one aroma container (20) towards the mouth end (28).
