Abstract

A drinking cup device has a base and a wall upstanding from the base to define a drink chamber for holding liquid. It further includes a food storage element defining a chamber for storing food in a location at the side of the drink chamber over the base. The food storage element and rest of the cup device are relatively movable, between a first position in which the food is accessible and a second position in which the food storage element is stowed on the side of the cup device. The invention makes it possible for a user (typically a small child) to store small items of food, such as raisins, in the food compartment, while still accessing drinks stored in the drink chamber. In a first form of the cup device the food compartment is insertable into the food storage region by a variable amount. In another form of the cup device, the food storage element is rotated at the food storage region to open and close it.
