The cover provides the primary retention for the article and the cover is openable or removeable from the cup for access to the article. The cup is normally self supporting to remain in upright position after removal of the cover to allow its continued use as a cup. The cover is transparent to allow a person to ascertain the contents being retained. A stop arrangement is provided to prevent one cup from possibly damaging or breaking the cover on the bottom of a nested cup.
