ABSTRACT:
A unitary beverage container includes a main body defining a container volume in which a beverage is contained. A top of the main body includes a channel disposed horizontally therealong as well as an uppermost bisecting ridge extending from one side of the main body to the other and a respective remainder portion on each side of the ridge sloping downwardly away from the ridge. A bottom of the main body has a lowermost continuous base surface and a central concavity extending inwardly therefrom. The central concavity is particularly formed by a horizontal recess surface and a peripheral recess band sloped radially inward. A flexible straw has a proximal end fluidly connected with the container volume and a distal end having an aperture therein which is located in the channel of the top. A holding mechanism removably holds the distal end of the flexible straw in the channel. In order to fill the beverage container, the bottom includes a filling conduit extending from the central concavity. This filling conduit is heated on the interior only at a location in the central concavity, and then pinched off and closed horizontally in the central concavity after filling to seal the container.
