Abstract: A potable container having a sanitized straw therein. The container has a panel that partitions the container cavity into a potable-receiving major cavity and a non-potable receiving minor cavity having the upper portion of a straw therein.A pull tab is provided that when opened exposes the straw containing minor cavity only so that the potable containing major cavity is not opened. A straw sealing member depends from the pull tab so that when the tab is closed, the straw is capped thereby preventing the potable from entering the minor cavity.The lower portion of the straw is horizontally disposed in the major cavity. The straw has a bellows-like middle portion providing bending and stretching means. A monofilament member aids in opening a wrapper for the sanitized straw when the tab is opened and also serves to retain the tab in a closed position.
