Abstract
A beverage container includes a container body having a shape substantially similar to a conical frustum and having a storage area defined by a side wall and a bottom wall. The container body also includes an open end for receiving a fluid for being contained within the storage area. The beverage container further includes a chamber defined by a chamber wall provided in cooperative arrangement with the side wall of the container such that the chamber protrudes into the storage area. The side wall of the container body also forms an opening for the chamber. A cover hinged to a bottom portion of the container includes interlocking portions for connection with corresponding interlocking portions on the container when the cover is closed.
