Abstract: One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is a fluid dispensing apparatus having a weighted fluid extraction tube. In accordance with such an embodiment, a fluid container includes a neck portion and a closed end generally opposite the neck portion. A body is mounted on the neck portion of the fluid container. A fluid extraction tube is attached at a delivery end thereof to the body. The fluid extraction tube is attached in a manner enabling fluid to be extracted from within the fluid container and dispensed via the body. A weighting element is attached to the fluid extraction tube adjacent to a pick-up end of the fluid extraction tube, thereby providing a weighted fluid extraction tube. The weighting element provides for displacement of the pick-up end of the fluid extraction tube to a gravity-induced position within the fluid container.
