Abstract
A lid for drink cups includes a drinking flap of limited circumferential extent that may be selectively pivotally opened and closed. Such drinking flap may initially be defined by frangible lateral edges in the lid and may be held in its open position by the pull tab on the flap being inserted in a slit for a straw orifice.
