A detachable cup lid for open-mouthed containers comprising:
- a.) an upper cup lid surface, with an outer peripheral surface depending therefrom;
- b.) a contoured spout disposed adjacent a peripheral edge of the cup lid, said contoured spout having an upper spout surface disposed higher in relationship to said upper cup lid surface;
- c.) a depression formed adjacent said contoured spout in said upper cup lid surface;
- d.) a drink-through opening substantially centered in said upper spout surface, said drink-through opening having at least one substantially continuous peripheral edge depending downwardly from said upper spout surface;
- and.
- e.) a substantially conical condiment funnel adjacent the center of said cup lid, said condiment funnel depending downwardly from said upper cup lid surface, said condiment funnel further having a funnel opening.
In combination, a beverage container having a seam and having an open end, detachable cup lid for said beverage container comprising a spout disposed adjacent a peripheral edge of said cup lid, said cup lid further comprising a lid alignment indicia adjacent said peripheral edge, whereby when said seam is substantially aligned with said lid alignment indicia, said beverage container seam is disposed diametrically remote of said cup lid spout, thereby tending to reduce dripping of a beverage between said lid and said seam when the combination is in use.
