Abstract
The present invention is a snack containment and dispensing apparatus having a plurality of separate snack containment compartments, a preferably transparent lid having an opening therein, and a plunger or like means to index or rotate the lid such that access to a singular snack compartment is obtained one-at-a-time. By selectively accessing only one snack compartment at a time, the snacks in the other non-currently accessed snack compartments are rendered non-spillable. Moreover, by providing indexable access to a snack compartment, a user—typically a child—not only gains access to a snack contained therein but is also provided snack choice autonomy and entertainment thereby.
