Each assembly includes a thermal insulating tubular member having inner and outer surfaces, a hole formed in the outer surface, and at least one opening for receiving and retaining a beverage container. Each assembly further includes one or more pieces of edible film. Each assembly still further includes a low profile packet having a shallow, edible film container received and retained within the hole. The edible film container includes a peripheral rim. The packet also has a lid bonded to the rim to form a cavity which encloses the one or more pieces of edible film and forms a bonding area which provides a seal around the cavity. The lid is movable between open and closed positions relative to the rim to permit removal of the at least one piece of edible film from the cavity in the open position.
