A fluid merging apparatus, comprising:
- a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises a first container coupling portion and the second end comprises a second container coupling portion, wherein the first container coupling portion is removably couplable to a first container and the second container coupling portion is removably couplable to a second container, wherein the first container coupling portion and the second container coupling portion have a plurality of ridges on an interior sidewall configured to form a sealing relationship with the exterior sidewall of a container opening;
- a bulb portion positioned between the first end and the second end, wherein the bulb portion is comprised of an elastic material and configured to be moved from an open position to a depressed position;
- and
- a first valve portion positioned between the bulb portion and the first end, wherein the first valve portion is a unidirectional valve configured to allow a fluid within the first container to flow in a single direction to the bulb portion, wherein when the bulb portion is positioned in the depressed position the fluid in the bulb portion is pushed into the second container and seals the first valve portion to prevent the fluid from flowing back into the first container, wherein the bulb portion generates a vacuum to pull the fluid from the first container into the bulb portion.
