ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for containing a fluid for human consumption includes a container. A spring is attached to a screw on type of lid disposed at the top of the container. A support member of a bobble head engages a top of the spring. A hole is provided through the bobble head and support member that is adapted to receive a straw. The support member is attached to the bobble head. The spring supports the bobble head above the lid so it can bobble from side to side, twist around a center axis, or bob up and down. The head is urged downward and protrusions and recesses in the support member and lid act like gear teeth to engage with each other and permit rotating the head and lid simultaneously to either loosen or tighten the lid. A modified threaded container having a modified bobble head that is adapted to allow passage of the straw through the modified bobble head and including a lower and a separable upper half is also described. A second modified container includes a hex shape in both the head and the lid that engage with each other.
