ABSTRACT:
A packaging assembly allows two substances, such as cereal and milk, to be held in separate compartments and then mixed when desired by applying hand pressure to the packaging assembly. The packaging assembly is provided with a compressible side wall portion and an impervious membrane having a frangible portion. The membrane separates the compartments such that applied pressure on the top of the package compresses the side wall portion and the downward pressure of the substance in the upper compartment causes the frangible portion of the membrane to rupture and thus allow the two substances to mix together. A partial wall may also be employed adjacent to the membrane to prevent regurgitation of the cereal and milk back into the upper compartment upon mixture in the lower compartment. The lower compartment may be opened to allow consumption directly from the package.
