A drinking vessel with selectable modes includes a lid, a straw, and a container. The lid extends over an upper opening of the container. The lid includes a lid upper portion and a lid base. The lid upper portion defines a drinking passage therethrough, the drinking passage disposed at an upper rim of the lid upper portion. The lid base defines a first fluid passage therethrough and a second fluid passage therethrough. The straw is coupled to a bottom side of the second fluid passage. The lid upper portion is rotatable through at least three positions relative to the lid base. In the first position the drinking passage does not align with either the first fluid passage or the second fluid passage. In the second position the drinking passage aligns with the first fluid passage. In the third position the drinking passage aligns with the second fluid passage.

A beverage container cover assembly is provided that is configured to enclose a beverage within a beverage container. The beverage container cover assembly includes a lid, a lid cover, and one or more magnetically-interfacing elements that bias the lid and lid cover with respect to each other. The beverage container cover assembly includes a biasing interface between a lid and a lid cover to bias the lid cover to remain stationary with respect to the lid.

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 resealable beverage container having an upper portion disposed overtop the container end and a base seamed into the open end. The container end incudes an impermeable gasket member disposed exteriorly thereupon, overtop of which the upper portion is engaged. The upper portion is rotatable between an open position and a closed position to orient at least one opening from sealed engagement with the gasket member to superimpose over at least one corresponding opening in the container end. The container may therefore be closed after opening to store contents therein. The container is manufactured using a modification to standard industry practices as seen in the art whereby minimal retooling is required for industry adoption.

A beverage container includes a container body, a lid and a rotatable sealing arrangement. The lid includes a lid body having a top panel and an access opening. The rotatable sealing arrangement includes a cover assembly and a sealing piece. The cover assembly includes a main shaft and a first sealing cover extended from the main shaft and positioned on the top panel of the lid body. The sealing piece is movably coupled to the main shaft, and includes a coupler ring having a through hole and a second sealing cover extended from the coupler ring. When the cover assembly is in an opened position, the cover assembly is rotated so that the first sealing cover is rotated to cover on top of the access opening, while the second sealing cover is driven to move upwardly with respect to the main shaft for blocking the access opening.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

A drinking lid is disclosed herein. Exemplary implementations may include a stationary portion and a spinning portion. The stationary portion includes a drinking opening. The spinning portion is rotatably coupled to the stationary portion. The spinning portion is configured to be positioned in a position in which the drinking opening is covered such that the drinking lid is spill-resistant. The spinning portion is further configured to be positioned in a different position that leaves the drinking opening uncovered or open.
