ABSTRACT:
The instant invention is a single unit providing both breakfast cereal, milk, and bowl including, in addition, means for mixing the milk with the cereal. The breakfast cereal is stored in a cereal cavity which later serves as the bowl. The milk is stored in a milk carton which is stored in a milk carton cavity. A spoon is preferentially also provided with the system so that everything the user needs to consume the breakfast cereal is provided. A trough is provided between the milk carton cavity and cereal cavity inclined downwardly from a position adjacent to and below the milk carton cavity toward the cereal cavity allowing milk leaving the milk carton to flow toward and enter the cereal cavity where it may mix with the cereal located therein. The aseptic packaging of the milk carton is provided with a frangible aperture located near the lowermost edge thereof and positioned adjacent to and above the trough leading into the cereal cavity when the milk carton is properly placed within the milk carton cavity. Preferably, the spoon is provided with a piercing means on its handle adapted to pierce the frangible aperture thereby allowing milk within the milk carton to drain into the trough where it will subsequently enter the cereal cavity. This allows the user quickly and easily to remove milk from the milk carton for mixing with the cereal in the cereal cavity.
