The Drink Pouch with Inner Snap-on Straw/Spout is comprised of the stand up drink pouch and an inner two piece assembled to the upper corner of the interior pouch for easy of drinking after opening. The pouch is made to be able to tear from the upper corner. After opening, the two pieces can snap on to a single piece when pressed together. The piece then becomes a spout or straw from which the user can drink from. Since the pouch is squeezable, and the mouth piece is pressed to form only one opening, the user can extract all the fluid from the pouch with ease. The two pieces are separate before opening and are taped/glued or laminated to both side of the inner pouch. One piece can be the female piece, in which, it has an indented area to fit tightly with the other piece. The other piece, male piece, would contain the straw or spout. The two pieces can then snap on together to create a sealed environment with only the opening of the straw/spout. Since the pieces are small and separated before the opening of the pouch, the design and the amount of fluid of the pouch can be the same as a regular pouch. This invention is design for users to drink from a pouch without using an external or full size straw.

It is desirable for users of the drink pouch to easily access their drinks without creating a mess. This design is intended to do so, without the use of a traditional straw. This invention allows the production of the pouch to be the same. The only require work is to add the two pieces into the inner pouch. Other than the cut made to the corner of the pouch for tearing, the design and look of the drink pouch does not need to be different. The snap on straw can also create a fun and unique drinking process for users.
