ABSTRACT:
A drinking tube extends through a receptacle having a top, a bottom, and at least one side. The upper portion of the tube is located outside the receptacle, within a recessed portion of the receptacle, and the end of the tube is sealed by a seal, such as break-away tab. A connector connects the seal and the upper end the tube to the receptacle. A secondary connector located along the upper portion of the tube also connects the upper end of the tube to the receptacle. In one embodiment, the connector is broken to allow the seal and the upper portion of the drinking tube to be moved away from the receptacle. The seal is then removed from the tube, to open the tube and the receptacle. In a second embodiment, the upper end of the tube is broken away from the seal to open the tube and to allow the upper end of the tube to be moved away from the receptacle.
