• a drink container having an open top;
• a lid releasably attached to the container for closing the container open top, the lid including a unitary, one piece body having a dispensing port and a vent each extending therethrough, the body further having a dome shaped top wall, an outer side wall extending downwardly from the top wall and having an internal attachment feature for direct attachment of the body to the container, and an inner collar spaced inwardly from the outer side wall and including a sidewall which depends downward from an inner surface of the body and surrounds the dispensing port;
• a straw extending through and outwardly from the dispensing port and having a mounting member provided at a lower end thereof, the mounting member received in the inner collar and including a flexible seal member having a downward frusto-conical shape, the seal member normally contacting an inner surface of the sidewall of the inner collar;
• and
• a hood movably connected to the lid for covering the dispensing port including the straw extending outwardly therefrom,
• wherein the mounting member includes an upper surface and a side surface, the upper surface located adjacent the inner surface of the body, the side surface spaced inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall of the inner collar, and the seal member extending radially outwardly from the side surface,
• wherein the seal member is movable radially downwardly and away from the inner surface of the sidewall of the inner collar allowing an inward flow of air through the vent and over the seal member upon the introduction of a pressure differential across the vent where the pressure outside of the container is greater than the pressure inside of the container.
