  • Publication number: 20140353183
    Abstract: A container is described for holding and dispensing chilled fluids for consumption by a user. The container may include a temperature indicating device configured to indicate whether a current temperature of liquid is at or below a first temperature value. The container may include a plurality of gradations configured to indicate a plurality of liquid levels in the enclosed chamber. Each pair of the plurality of liquid level gradations may have a corresponding volume. A plurality of caloric indicia may be displayed in conjunction with the plurality of gradations. Each caloric indicia may display a caloric energy value corresponding to heating one or more of the volumes of aqueous liquid from the first temperature value to a second temperature value. The container may be included in a kit with instructions directing a user in operation of the container, for example, as part of a diet or regimen of physical fitness.
