ABSTRACT:
A combination food container and utensil comprises the container having a compartment for holding the food and an opening through which the compartment may be accessed, a lid for covering the opening, an elongated utensil having a handle portion, a food holding portion and a length less than the cross dimensions of the lid, a bubble arrangement engaging an upper surface of the lid and coacting therewith to form an enclosure for receiving and holding a utensil on the lid, and the combination including an indicator to enable a visually impaired person to determine the contents of either the enclosure or the compartment without requiring the use of the visual senses. Preferably, the indicator includes the bubble being formed of a pliable material, such as aluminum or synthetic plastic, which is moldable and allows a person to determine the type of utensil by feel. The indicator can also include information fields which are read by the sense of touch and contain indicia, such as braille.
