• and
• a spinning portion configured to be rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, wherein rotation of the spinning portion is relative to a rotational axis, wherein the spinning portion is configured to be positioned in at least one of a covered position and an open position, wherein the spinning portion is configured to transition between the covered position and the open position through the rotation, wherein the spinning portion includes:
• a cover plate configured to cover the first opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position;
• an assembly barrel configured to couple to the cover plate, wherein a longitudinal axis of the assembly barrel coincides with the rotational axis of the spinning portion;
• a sealing plate barrel connector configured to be coupled to the assembly barrel, wherein the sealing plate barrel connector is further configured to be coupled to a sealing plate;
• the sealing plate configured to seal the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position, and wherein the stationary plate is configured to push the sealing plate against the seal around the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position,
• wherein, responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the open position, the cover plate is configured to leave the first opening uncovered and the sealing plate is configured to leave the second opening uncovered such that the drinking opening provides the conduit through the stationary portion of the drinking lid.

A drinking lid for a container, the drinking lid having a top side and a bottom side, the drinking lid comprising:

• wherein the stationary portion includes a first opening on the top side of the drinking lid and a second opening on the bottom side of the drinking lid, and wherein a connective slope extends from the first opening to the second opening to form a drinking opening configured to provide a conduit through the stationary portion, from the bottom side of the drinking lid to the top side of the drinking lid, wherein a seal is disposed around the second opening on the bottom side of the drinking lid, wherein the stationary portion includes a stationary plate;
• and
• a spinning portion configured to be rotatably coupled to the stationary portion, wherein rotation of the spinning portion is relative to a rotational axis, wherein the spinning portion is configured to be positioned in at least one of a covered position and an open position, wherein the spinning portion is configured to transition between the covered position and the open position through the rotation, wherein the spinning portion includes:
• a cover plate configured to cover the first opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position;
• an assembly barrel configured to couple to the cover plate, wherein a longitudinal axis of the assembly barrel coincides with the rotational axis of the spinning portion;
• a sealing plate barrel connector configured to be coupled to the assembly barrel, wherein the sealing plate barrel connector is further configured to be coupled to a sealing plate;
• a cover plate sealing collar disposed between the cover plate and the sealing plate, wherein the cover plate sealing collar is configured to seal the spinning portion to the stationary portion in the covered position, and wherein the cover plate sealing collar is further configured to couple to the assembly barrel;
• the sealing plate configured to seal the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position, and wherein the stationary plate is configured to push the sealing plate against the seal around the second opening of the drinking opening responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the covered position,
• wherein, responsive to the spinning portion being positioned in the open position, the cover plate is configured to leave the first opening uncovered and the sealing plate is configured to leave the second opening uncovered such that the drinking opening provides the conduit through the stationary portion of the drinking lid.
