ABSTRACT:
The combination of a utensil and a lid for closing the mouth of a container, such as used for merchandising comestibles. The lid includes a central portion and circular wall means disposed about the entire periphery of the central portion. The wall means is arranged to engage the mouth of the container to secure the lid thereon. The utensil is arranged to be releasably secured within the lid and is in the form of an elongated member which is slightly bowed in transverse cross section and includes an opposed pair of arcuate ends, each of which has substantially the same radius of curvature as that of the circular wall means. The maximum length of the utensil is approximately the inside diameter of the circular wall means to enable the utensil to be frictionally held between opposed portions of the wall means. There are various embodiments of the utensil, such as a spoon, a fork, a knife and a measuring spoon.
