Abstract: The present application describes a thin-walled single-serve perishable food container configured to be economically manufactured from metal and useable by a consumer in the existing single-serve metal container, for example, a disposable single-serve metal yogurt cup. The thin-walled container has a top flange coupled to a bottom with a cylindrical wall and a conical sidewall that extends inwardly from the top flange, such that a diameter of the bottom is less than a diameter of the top flange. The thin-walled container may house other foods, such as ground or pulverized organic or synthetic powdered mixtures or dried food. The container may also have a cover or lid that hermetically seals the contents.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a thin-walled metal container, such as a cup are described. The thin-walled metal cup includes a body with a tightly curled lip at the top end of the cup. The body includes a plurality of sections such that the diameter of the cup may be different at different places along the height of the cup. The thin-walled metal cup is designed to be light weight with a shape configured to facilitate grasping or holding the body of the cup.
