Abstract: This invention is a squeeze bottle that forces all of the liquid to be dispensed at the top of the bottle. The invention also prohibits air from contacting the liquid to be dispensed. This bottle is composed of the following: A top cap has a nozzle with a one-way valve allowing liquid to leave the container. A bottom cap employs a one-way valve that allows air to enter an airbag. The caps attach to the body of the squeeze bottle. The liquid is in a bag that is referred to as the first chamber. This first chamber is airtight with the only egress for the liquid being through the top one-way valve. The bottom chamber is an airbag distinct from the liquid bag. This second bag forms a distinct second chamber that is also airtight. The second chamber communicates exclusively to the outside air, only allowing air in through the one-way valve at the bottom.
