    Abstract: A dual aperture beverage can (1) consisting of a venting scored section (4) and a pouring scored section (6) on the container top (11). The container (2) is comprised of a container sidewall (9), a container top (11), and a container bottom (8). A tab (7) is employed to open both the venting scored section (4) and the pouring scored section (6), such that their respective apertures are revealed. The pouring aperture (10) is of the traditional style common in the beverage can industry, while the venting aperture (14) leads to a hollow venting tube (13). The hollow venting tube (13) leads to near the bottom of the container. It is this manner, that air can enter the venting aperture (14) and displace the liquid from the bottom of the can while the fluid flows quickly and evenly out the pouring aperture (10).
