ABSTRACT:
An improved container for beverages where the contents of the container can be removed through the use of a flexible tubular member extendible through a pour opening formed in the container when a closure strip of the container is separated therefrom. The improved container comprises a cylindrical body having a first end and a second end; a substantially laterally disposed first disk sealingly connected to one of the first and second ends of the cylindrical body; a substantially laterally disposed second disk sealingly connected to the other of the first and second ends of the cylindrical body, the second disk having a pour opening formed therein; a closure strip assembly supported by the second disk for sealingly closing the pour opening, the closure strip assembly manually separable from at least a portion of the second disk so as to permit access to contents within the container via the pour opening; a flexible tubular member disposed within the container so as to be extendible through the pour opening when the closure strip assembly is separated from the second disk, the flexible tubular member having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an extendible length greater than the length of the cylindrical body; and, a stabilizing and aligning assembly for stabilizing the flexible tubular member within the container and for aligning one end of the flexible tubular member with the pour opening such that upon removal of the flexible strip assembly one end of the flexible tubular member is extendible through the pour opening.
