ABSTRACT:
A liquid container such as a metal or plastic cannister or can having a drinking straw disposed therein which straw becomes available for drinking the liquid contents of the container when the container is opened. In one form, the container top wall is provided with a finger pulled tab secured to or extending from a removable portion of the top wall and, when pulled, the tab not only provides an opening in the top wall but exposes or pulls out of the container the upper portion of a drinking straw. In a preferred embodiment, the straw is a plastic or impregnated paper tube containing a pleated or bendable portion thereof and the upper portion of the straw is deformed either downwardly along the remaining body of the straw or conforms to that portion of the container top wall which is removed so that, upon removal of the removable portion, the upper portion of the straw will be pulled thereby through the opening so that it may be engaged by mouth and used. The lower portion of the straw may be secured or frictionally held against the side or bottom wall of the container to maintain it in place.
