ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an improved packaging system for beverages, the system comprising a beverage container having an integral straw permitting automatic emergence of the straw when a pull tab is separated from the container. In one embodied form, the flexible, resilient straw is held internally within the container by a retaining collar member which is suitably secured to the underside of the pull tab to hold the straw in a deformed condition when the pull tab is not yet separated from the container. In a preferred embodied form, the straw comprises an upper corrugated portion to permit prescribed resiliency and adjustment of length when internally positioned within the container. Accordingly, the present invention provides a unique convenient packaging system for beverages which enhances safety and hygienic features of conventional pull tab beverage containers at a relatively modest production cost.
