A fully sealed pouch containing a drink is provided with a straw within the pouch accessible to allow a user to draw drink from the pouch. The pouch defines a top portion, a bottom portion, and respective side edges interconnecting the top portion and the bottom portion. A corner portion is defined between the top portion and one side edge, the corner portion being openable by a user to access the straw. The pouch forms a closed cavity containing the drink, the cavity being defined by the top portion, the bottom portion, and side edges and by at least one wall defining a front face and a rear face for the cavity. The front and rear faces are connected together in the top portion. The front and rear faces are continuous with each other at, or are connected along, the other of the side edges. The front and rear faces are connected, optionally via a gusset, to provide the bottom portion. The one side edge is formed by a first heat seal connecting the front and rear faces; and a second heat seal connects the front and rear faces and extends in an incomplete fashion from the top portion to the bottom portion, being spaced inboard of the first heat seal. The second heat seal divides the interior of the cavity into major and minor portions interconnected so that drink may flow between them, the minor portion lying between the first and second heat seals, and the straw being located within this minor portion. A number of different ways are described in which the corner portion may be opened along a line of weakness formed in the pouch and extending generally parallel to the bottom portion from the first heat seal to and ending at the second heat seal.

Disclosed herein is a disposable lid for facilitating holding of a detachable straw, the disposable lid may include a container lid. Further, the container lid may be openably couplable with a container opening of a container. Further, the container lid may include a straw holder disposed on the container lid. Further, the straw holder may be configured for detachably attaching a straw to the container lid. Further, the straw holder may be configured for detachably attaching the container lid to the container. Further, the straw holder may include a straw holder body. Further, a base holder end of the straw holder body may be attached to a base lid surface of the container lid. Further, the straw holder body may be detachably attachable to a first end of the straw. Further, the straw holder body may be detachably attachable to the container.

A tamper evident delivery enclosure assembly that includes a thin base portion having a seating aperture configured to supportably seat a beverage container. A pair of foldable wing extensions coupled to generally opposed sections of the base portion that foldably extend upwardly in a manner such that the foldable wing extensions substantially extend over the container mouth portion and mounted lid to form an interior pocket, in an engaged condition that substantially prevents access to the lid. A single use closure tape, laterally mounted to the wing extensions, has an upper lateral portion extending beyond the wing member, in an unsealed condition. A removable protective strip removably covers the tape adhesive of the tape lateral portion. When the protective strip is removed, and the wing extensions are in the engaged condition, the tape upper lateral portion can be folded over such that the adhesive is brought into contact with an exterior surface of the enclosure assembly, substantially locking the wing extensions in a sealed condition.

A lid assembly for a beverage container is provided. The lid assembly has a lid base, a mouthpiece and a lid dome. The mouthpiece is connected to the lid base and has a first end having a generally flat surface that is provided at an angle to the top surface of the lid base, a second end adapted to receive a straw, and a drink aperture therethrough. The lid dome is pivotally connected to the lid base and pivots between an open position and a closed position. The lid dome has a protrusion that extends from an inner surface of the lid dome. The protrusion has a seal surface at an angle to the top wall to seal against the first end of the mouthpiece to close the drink aperture when the lid dome is in the closed position.

A sexual assault evidence collection kit that may be used by the victim or other non-professionals. The kit may be simplified compared to kits for professional use, and may be usable with no specialized training. Victims may therefore be able to collect evidence themselves after an assault, instead of searching for a facility with personnel trained in forensic evidence collection, and enduring a long, intrusive examination. Embodiments may include a package (for example a clear bag) and the following components inside the package: gloves, swabs, swab containers, water, evidence collection bags, evidence bag sealing tape, evidence collection tape, a permanent marker, and instructions on how to identify, collect, seal, document, and store evidence.

Methods and apparatus for removably or irremovably interconnectable building block containers such as those capable of initially storing consumable items such as food and drink. After consumption of the food or drink, the cavity containing same may be cleaned and/or refilled with consumable or non-consumable items. The building block containers are utilized as building block toys and may be manufactured or otherwise designed to be collectable. In one aspect, the container connectors are nearly identical such that any one connector may mate with any other connector. In another aspect, the connectors are nearly identical but the orientations of each connector vary to allow mating to occur when the connectors are properly oriented. In another aspect, the container is a cube juice box with connectors on all four corners of all six sides of the container. A frame for holding a juice container may also be utilized.
