Abstract
An insulated drinking utensil that extends to contain more liquid and enhance logo/decorative display including an outer casing, inner casing(s), a lid if desired, a handle if desired, and sealing gasket if desired. The extendable drinking container transforms from a normal drinking utensil into a larger drinking utensil capable of holding more and displaying more. This container allows individuals the convenience of turning their everyday mug into a larger container or pitcher. This container allows individuals to show off their favorite team in a new and revolutionary way. This container allows retailers to offer something completely unique to their customers while also conserving precious shelf space normally used for containers with similar storage capacity. This container also allows the end user the luxury of storing a container with a large holding capacity into a small storage area.
