Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention employ a container having first and second chambers for receiving first and second fluids, respectively. Preferably, the first and second chambers are separated by a divider. The divider can be movable, removable, or can otherwise be opened to selectively connect and separate the first and second chambers. In this manner, first and second fluids can be inserted into respective chambers, after which time the divider can be moved to mix the first and second fluids. Preferably, the divider can be positioned to seal one chamber from the other to keep fluids in the chambers separate from one another. The first and second chambers are preferably shaped and sized to enable a user to mix the first and second fluids in a desired mixing ratio by at least partially filling the chambers with the fluids to a common level.
