A drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance comprises a storage container for drinking liquid, at least one aroma container, through which air can flow, and a transporting channel for drinking liquid. The transporting channel runs from the storage container to a mouth end of the drinking device. The drinking device also comprises an air channel for transporting aromatized air. The air channel running runs from at least one of the at least one aroma containers to the transporting channel for drinking liquid or to the mouth end.

A closure assembly including a closure base configured to be selectively coupled to a neck of a liquid vessel and a valve assembly operatively coupled to the closure base, the valve assembly comprising a nozzle that extends away from the closure base and defines at least one drink outlet, shower outlets spaced around the at least one drink outlet, and a barrel valve, the barrel valve being configured to be selectively rotated relative to the closure base to transition the valve assembly between a closed configuration, in which a flow of liquid from the liquid vessel through the closure assembly is restricted, a drink configuration, in which liquid is permitted to flow from the liquid vessel through the drink outlet but not the shower outlets, and the shower configuration, in which liquid is permitted to flow from the liquid vessel through the shower outlets but not the drink outlet.

A method for a person to discharge a consumable liquid including the steps of: obtaining a container having a body bounding a volume and an opening in communication with the volume; placing a quantity of the consumable liquid in the volume; and grasping the container and positioning the container so that the consumable liquid within the volume flows through at least a portion of the opening and into the person's mouth. The container has a blocking structure that is configured to allow the consumable liquid to flow to and through the portion of the opening while blocking movement of material, of a predetermined size suspended in the quantity of consumable liquid, into the at least portion of the opening.

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.
