Abstract

A non-spill container has a lower portion that holds less liquid than the upper portion and is provided with a closure that has a tube fitted therein that normally extends downwardly into the container. A straw may be placed in the tube for the withdrawal of liquid, the tube being of a size sufficient so that venting is automatically provided.
