Abstract: A container for fluids having a body, a first fluid passage, a second fluid passage, and a control mechanism is disclosed. The control mechanism is for controlling flow through the first fluid passage and the second fluid passage and is in the preferred construction a ball valve having a first aperture and a second aperture, such that both of the passages are simultaneously controlled by the ball valve. The first fluid passage is for allowing egress of a fluid stored in the chamber of the container, and the second fluid passage is for allowing air return to avoid negative pressure in the chamber. The container has a spout which is oriented in coordination with the second fluid passage so as to avoid liquid flow through the second fluid passage.
