ABSTRACT:
A disposable lid has a flexible disk-like body and at least one slot opening formed in the body. The slot opening is adapted to receive a small container containing additives, such as sugar and cream. The slot opening is defined by a plurality of intersecting lines which break open upon application of predetermined pressure. The lid also has at least one protrusion formed near the slot opening to create an opening in the container as the container is inserted into the slot opening. The small additive container described above preferably has an elongated body which is adapted to be inserted into the slot opening of the lid through the intersecting lines. The elongated body is inserted into the slot opening, a release opening is formed in the elongated body of the additive container to release the content. The elongated body of the additive container used for the above lid has a break line which breaks open to release a content contained in the elongated body when a sharp object or a protrusion is pressed against the break line. The protrusion of the lid and the break line of the additive container are aligned so that when the additive container is inserted into the slot opening, the protrusion causes the break line to break open.
