A cup system for simultaneous delivery of contents from separated areas to a mouth of a user, the cup system comprising:
- an outer cup having an outer cup inner surface and comprising an upper lip comprising a threaded surface configured to engage with a mating threaded surface;
- a lid having a lid inner surface and comprising:
- an outer wall having a lower outer lip comprising the mating threaded surface, the mating threaded surface configured to engage with the threaded surface;
- an inner wall defining a central opening, wherein a top edge of the inner wall is connected to a top edge of the outer wall, the inner wall comprising at least one engagement feature configured to engage with a mating engagement feature in a cap, the inner wall and to engage with an inner cup and further comprising an inner ledge configured to support an outer flange of a pod cup;
- a fluid passage in the lid interposed between the lower outer lip and an inner edge of the lid, wherein the inner edge is at a periphery of the central opening;
- and
- a vent hole;
- the pod cup comprising:
- an engaging lip including the outer flange configured to seat on and be supported by the inner ledge of the lid such that a body of the pod cup extends downwards from the lid and an interior volume of the pod cup is in communication with the central opening;
- a cap comprising:
- the mating engagement feature configured to engage with the inner wall engagement feature, whereby upon engagement of the engagement features the cap is removably coupled to the lid and the central opening is spanned by the cap;
- a lower rim configured such that when the engagement features are engaged, the outer flange is compressibly interposed between the inner ledge of the lid and the lower rim of the cap, whereby a fluid seal is formed between the pod cup, the cap, and the lid;
- and
- an opening;
- and
- an inner cup having an inner cup outer surface and comprising:
- an engaging lip configured to engage with the lower inner lip and configured to form a seal between the inner cup and the lid;
- and
- a flange located below the engaging lip and extending outward a flange length from a periphery of the inner cup outer surface, such that when the cup system is assembled by placing a first contents in the pod cup, placing a second contents in the outer cup, and engaging the lid with the pod cup, the outer cup, the inner cup, and the cap, a space is formed between the inner cup outer surface, the outer cup inner surface, and the lid, whereby the second contents is retained in the space and remains separated from the first contents, and the flange extends past the inner wall of the lid, into the space, and towards the outer cup inner surface, wherein the flange length further comprises at least half of a distance between the inner cup outer surface and the outer cup inner surface at the flange location, and the cap opening is configured to pass the first contents out of the pod cup simultaneously with the second contents being passed through the space, past the flange, and discharged from the fluid passage in response to at least partial inversion of the cup.
