Abstract:

Apparatuses, systems, and methods (e.g., utilities) that allow a user to maintain an initial, sealed separation of two or more ingredients (e.g., liquids) in respective chambers of a container and to then selectively consume the ingredients via a common opening of the container (e.g., either in series or in combination). Broadly, the utilities include a valve mechanism that, when activated (e.g., rotated), simultaneously breaks or ruptures at least one seal member previously maintaining sealed separation of the two or more ingredients to at least partially align respective apertures into the chambers to fluidly interconnect the chambers via the apertures and allow for consumption of the ingredients via a common opening of the container.
