Abstract
A disposable cup has a tamper evident removable membrane secured at or near a rim of an open end of the cup so as to seal off the interior surface of the cup. The membrane is cup-shaped and has a radially-extending rim corresponding to a radially-extending rim of the cup, a substantially axially-extending sleeve corresponding to an inner-side surface of the cup and a radially extending disc-shaped base substantially spanning the diameter of the cup. The cup further includes a plurality of compartments in an operatively bottom region thereof, which are at least partially filled with a consumable product. The bottom region of the cup is at least partially deformable under externally applied force to facilitate dislodgement of the consumable product from the compartments.
