Abstract: A dispensing closure for fluid containers having an externally threaded neck. The dispensing closure has a tubular cap, a closure lid, and an elongated connecting strip between the tubular cap and the closure lid. A pair of finger gripping arms extend transversely from opposite sides of the tubular cap and each has a pair of radially spaced slots therein for detachably receiving the opposite ends of a carrying strap. An interior wall extends transversely within the bore hole of the tubular cap and it has an aperture that is aligned with and connected to the top end of a vent tube that extends a predetermined distance below the bottom edge of the tubular cap. The interior wall has a fluid passage aperture through which a person using the dispensing closure would drink. The closure lid is easily and quickly snapped on and off the top of the tubular cap. The tubular cap has internal threads adjacent its bottom end.
