  • Patent number: 4733785
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a beverage container having a tapered neck portion smaller than a buoyant chamber on the container advertising straw having a flexible straw the overall length of which fits from the inside of the container bottom to the inside of the container cap when the cap is seated on the container top. A mini-buoyant chamber in the geometric form of the container in which it is to be placed is on the exterior of the straw. The mini-chamber has an external diameter such as to catch against the inner neck of the beverage container to prohibit accidental separation of the straw from the bottle, but which permits removal of the straw and mini-container from the beverage container by a firm pull, which due to the constriction of the neck, will compress the mini-container from the bottle. An advertising message is on the exterior of the mini-container containing the logo of the bottler which will remain with the straw and mini-buoyant after its disassociation from the bottle.
