Abstract
A bottle and cap system includes a bottle and a bottle cap. When the bottle cap is threadably engaged with the bottle a user may squeeze the bottle to release aroma from the contents of the bottle. This is accomplished by vapor voids between the bottle open end and the cap inner lip, and thread channels in the external thread of the bottle. Such vapor voids are formed when the bottle open end contacts a plurality of lip extensions on the inner lip, which extend toward the cap open end, at a plurality of contact points, when the cap is fully threadably engaged with the bottle.
