  • Publication number: 20060278640
    Abstract: A lid and/or container top for securing the contents of a cup and/or container with a housing for securing a premium item in movable communication with the lid and/or container top. The topological features of the lid and/or container top permits the housing to be movably attached to the lid and/or container such that movement of the housing relative to the lid and/or container both reveals and conceals an access opening in the lid and/or container top depending on the positioning of the housing. The lid and/or container top and housing allow premium items to be distributed to a consuming public without the necessity of removing the premium item to consume the contents of a cup and/or container.
