ABSTRACT:
A food container lid is described which is convertible into a spoon for use in eating food from the container. A flap which is separable from the remainder of the lid is bendable at its base outward from the plane of the lid covering through approximately 180.degree. so that such flap provides a spoon bowl and the lid otherwise provides a handle for manipulation of such spoon bowl. The base of the flap is positioned inwardly of the peripheral edge portion of the lid covering so that when the flap is bent outward it overlaps such peripheral edge portion which thereby provides rigidity to the connection between the spoon bowl and the handle. The lid covering and the base of the spoon bowl flap are foldable upon themselves with the covering encompassing the base in order to enhance such structural rigidity.
