  • Patent number: 7308915
    Abstract: A packaging system is provided for storing and mixing separate ingredient components. The system includes a first bottle used for storing a first ingredient component which includes a dispensing port disposed on a top end, a mixing port disposed on a bottom end, and a seal integrated within the mixing port. The system also includes a second bottle used for storing a second component ingredient which includes a bottle neck having an opening disposed therein wherein the neck is adapted to be installed into the mixing port of the first bottle. Also, an extended tip is formed on the distal end of the bottle neck. When the bottle neck of the second bottle is installed into the mixing port of the first bottle, the seal from the first bottle is broken by the extended tip from the second bottle establishing fluid communication between the first and second bottles and allowing the ingredient components to mix.
