Abstract: A sanitary drinking accessory is disclosed for use with a metal beverage can after it has been opened by actuating an integral "pop-top" feature. The drinking accessory has a unitary body fabricated from a resilient material which is not inherently potentially toxic when brought into contact with a human mouth. The peripheral shape of the drinking accessory includes a rear section and a front section which is shaped, in horizontal cross section, in the form of a circular section generally conforming to the curve of the circumference of the top of the beverage can. An aperture extends through the accessory and terminates, at its upper end, in an outwardly flared manner such that its upper section merges with the top surface.
