Preferably, the shape holding outer container is configured to accommodate a pair of shape holding inner containers. Preferentially, each of the pair of shape holding inner containers contain a separate and distinct viscous material and the pair of shape holding inner containers remain detached from the shape holding outer containers at all times. With the pair of shape holding inner containers removed from the shape holding outer container, the separate and distinct viscous materials may be poured into the shape holding outer container and mixed together for use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A packaging kit comprising: a shape holding outer container having an internal volume and an external surface, wherein the internal volume is not less than two liters, in which the shape holding outer container includes a hermetically sealed bottom and an open top, the open top has an opening with an area greater than the area of the hermetically sealed bottom; a pair of, but not more than two, shape holding inner containers disposed within the outer container, in which the shape holding inner containers each provide an agitation device recess, each shape holding inner container has an internal wall and an external wall, and in which each agitation device recess is an open channel recess, said each open channel recess is formed into and along an entirety of a length of each external wall of each shape holding inner container; and a fluid agitating device nested within a fluid agitation device pocket, the fluid agitation device pocket formed by the pair of fluid agitation device recesses, when the pair of fluid agitation device recesses are directly adjacent one another by way of the pair of the shape holding inner containers being confined within the shape holding outer container, and in which each shape holding inner container remains detached from the outer container at all times, wherein the open top of the shape holding outer container having an area greater than the area of the hermetically sealed bottom promotes ease of entry of each of the shape holding inner containers into the shape holding outer container, while the area of the hermetically sealed bottom of the shape holding outer container interacts with each of the shape holding inner containers, thereby securing the pair of shape holding inner containers within the shape holding outer container. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The kit of claim 1, in which a first shape holding inner container of the pair of shape holding inner containers, confines a first viscous material, and wherein a second shape holding inner container of the pair of shape holding inner containers confines a second viscous material, in which said first and said second viscous materials are separate and distinct viscous materials. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The kit of claim 2, in which the shape holding outer container provides a lip portion encircling the open top, and further comprises a lid interacting with the lip, the lid seals the internal volume, and the lid reseals the internal volume upon removal and reengagement of the lid with the lip. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The kit of claim 3, in which the shape holding outer container is an elongated cylinder having a circular cross section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The kit of claim 4, in which each the first and second shape holding inner containers are formed to present a common geometric form. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The kit of claim 5, in which the first and second shape holding inner containers each includes a hermetically sealed bottom and an open top, the open tops have an opening with an area less than the area of the hermetically sealed bottom. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The kit of claim 6, in which each shape holding inner container provides an interior volume and a spout portion encircling the open top, and further comprises a cap interacting with the spout portion, the cap seals the interior volume, and the cap reseals the internal volume upon removal and reengagement of the cap with the spout portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The kit of claim 7, further comprising a liner in contact adjacency with an internal surface of the shape holding outer container and an external surface of each the first and second shape holding inner containers. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The kit of claim 8, in which the liner is formed from a flexible polymer. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The kit of claim 9, in which the shape holding outer container is formed from a material selected from a group consisting of (polymers, composites, and metallic), and in which each shape holding inner container is formed from a material selected from a group consisting of (polymers, composites, and metallic). ### Claim 11 (depends on 5) The kit of claim 5, in which a cross section of the common geometric shape takes the form of a capital letter D. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The kit of claim 1, in which each shape holding inner container comprising: a first interior volume formed by a first hermetically sealed bottom, a first side wall, and a first top providing a first sealable opening, the first interior volume containing a first viscous material; a second interior volume adjacent the first interior volume, the second interior volume formed by a second hermetically sealed bottom, a second wall, and a second top providing a second sealable opening, the second interior volume containing a second viscous material, wherein the first and second viscous materials are separate and distinct viscous materials; and the fluid agitation device pocket providing vertical and horizontal support for the fluid agitating device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The kit of claim 12, in which the pair of shape holding inner containers further comprising: a first container of the pair of shape holding inner containers including at least a first spout portion encircling a first open top, the first open top distal from the first hermetically sealed bottom; a first cap interacting with the first spout portion, the first cap seals the interior volume, the first cap further reseals the first internal volume upon removal and reengagement of the first cap with the first spout portion; a second container of the pair of shape holding inner containers includes at least a second spout portion encircling a second open top, the second open top distal from the second hermetically sealed bottom, the second spout portion adjacent the first spout portion; and a second cap interacting with the second spout portion, the second cap seals the interior volume, the second cap further reseals the first internal volume upon removal and reengagement of the first cap with the first spout portion. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The kit of claim 13, in which the pair of shape holding inner containers further comprising: a first handhold disposed adjacent the first spout portion of the first container; and a second handhold disposed adjacent the second spout portion of the second container.
