A drink insulator stabilizer system is provided. In one embodiment, the stabilizer system includes a clip that attaches to the bottom portion of a drink insulator, and includes a pair of pivoting spikes on an underside of the clip. The spikes may be pivoted from a horizontal position within longitudinal indentations on an underside of the clip to a vertical position pointed downwardly from the clip, so that the spikes may be inserted into the ground to stabilize an insulated drink. In another embodiment, the pivoting spikes are positioned under the bottom portion of a drink insulator. In use, a user may rotate the spikes to a vertical position for use while the insulated drink is on the ground, and the spikes may rotate to a horizontal position and may snap fit into the longitudinal indentations for transport and storage purposes, when stabilization is not required.

A method of transporting one or more frozen food compositions can include providing a first container; dispensing at least one comestible ingredient into the first container, the dispensing of the at least one comestible ingredient into the first container is performed at a first location; positioning a first lid on the first container containing the at least one comestible ingredient; freezing the first container with the first lid thereon and the at least one comestible ingredient therein to form a first frozen food composition in the first container; attaching a first jacket to at least one of (a) the first container with the first frozen food composition therein or (b) the first lid on the first container with the first frozen food composition therein; and transporting the first frozen food composition to a second location by transporting the first container in the first jacket to the second location.

A thermally insulating member includes a plane sheet having two ends spaced in a length direction and two sides spaced in a thickness direction perpendicular to the length direction. The plane sheet includes a plurality of rows of slits between the ends of the plane sheet. Each row of slits extends from one of the sides through the other side of the plane sheet. A first spacing between two adjacent rows of slits in the length direction is larger than a spacing between two adjacent slits in the same row of slits in a width direction perpendicular to the length and width directions by a second spacing. A thermally insulating strip is defined between two adjacent rows of slits. A stretchable rib is formed between two adjacent slits in the same row of slits. Each end of the plane sheet is a coupling portion free of the slits.

A reusable beverage container contains an insulated cup, a lid, and a straw. The beverage is stored in the insulated cup and an opening of the insulated cup is covered with the lid. The lid is removably attached to the insulated cup with an inner locking lip and an outer locking lip. A gasket can also be used to attach the lid to the insulated cup. The straw traverses into the insulated cup through a straw-receiving hole. The straw is positioned in the straw-receiving hole such that a bias-cut edge of the straw is positioned within the insulated cup and a straight-cut edge of the straw is positioned outside the lid. A stoppage band of the straw prevents the straw from coming out of the lid.

The present embodiments describe an insulated drinking vessel with a multifunction lid. In an embodiment, the drinking vessel can be configured to receive a multifunction lid. The multifunction lid may, in one embodiment, include an opening for receiving a drinking straw. In an embodiment, the multifunction lid may additionally include an opening for drinking or sipping directly through the lid. In an embodiment, the lid may include an operable cover for covering at least one of the openings in a first position and for allowing access to the fluid through the opening in a second position. In a further embodiment, the lid may include a plurality of operable covers. A first operable cover may be configured for covering the drinking straw opening in a first position and allowing insertion of a straw in a second position. The lid may also include an operable cover for covering the sipping spout in a first position and allowing drinking directly through the spout in a second position.

A formulation includes a base resin, a nucleating agent, and a blowing agent. The formulation can be used to form a container.

Described herein are embodiments of a dual container drinking vessel with a universal lid. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first vessel and a second vessel, where the first vessel and the second vessel are at least partially nested together, and further includes a lid adapted to cover an open end of the first vessel when the first vessel and the second vessel are at least partially nested together, and to cover an open end of the second vessel when the first vessel and the second vessel are not nested together.
