ABSTRACT:
A flexible plastic removable lid apparatus for a disposable glass or cup having a horizontally disposed circular member constructed of a semi-rigid flexible plastic material. The edges of the circular member have an annular downwardly depending flange attached thereto for extending over the edge of such glass or cup. An upper tubular connector is connected to the central top portion of the circular member and a lower short tubular connector member is connected to the bottom central portion of the circular member. These two tubular connector members are in fluid communication with each other. A first upper straw is glued in an arcuate position to the top of the circular member and this upper straw can be removed and placed on the upper connector member to produce an upper straw section. Similarly a lower straw member is glued to the bottom of the circular member and it can be removed therefrom when necessary to frictionally and sealingly fit on the lower tubular connector member to thereby produce a combination lid and straw which extends into the liquid within the cup and extends upwardly so that a person can suck the liquid out through the straw. Arrangement of the upper straw as it is glued to the top of the circular member form is in a smaller arc while the position of the straw is formed in a larger arc on the lower straw. Additionally, the upper tubular connector member is larger than the lower tubular connector member so that these combination lids and straws can be stacked one on top of the other in a compact fashion.
