ABSTRACT:
A container for food or the like comprises a cylindrical wall enclosed by a top and a bottom lid. The cylindrical wall has a slight angle, thereby being wider at the top lid than at the bottom lid. The bottom lid contains a round vent hole having its lip drawn over in the direction of the interior of the container. An air-tight vent seal tab covers the vent hole. With the top lid removed, the container is inverted so that the bottom lid is facing upward, and then the vent seal tab is removed. A common drinking straw is inserted into the vent hole and is sealed therein by the vent hole lip. Mouth pressure is applied to the drinking straw. This pressure and the force due to gravity, together, force the contents of the container to start to move downward toward the open top lid. As initial motion occurs the contents looses contact with the sidewall of the container because of the slight angle and thereby is easily removed.
