An area on the surface of a bottle of water/soda or can of soda/beer has a coating providing the ability to scratch one's personal identification onto the bottle with a fingernail, e.g. 1'' or 1½'' square area on the surface. The area designated for personal identification would be printed on the bottle, in the packaging operation, similar to a scratch-off area which is commonly found on scratch-off lottery tickets. Of course, the present invention is not limited for use on bottles. Containers having a designated area of scratch-off material could be used on a large variety of consumable products including packaged foods, beer, fast foods, tobacco products, over-the-counter drugs and vitamins and virtually any other product where it would be useful to provide user-applied indicia. An optional additional feature of the present invention comprises a removable tag protectively overlying the scratch-off coating to prevent inadvertent removal of the scratch-off material either before the product reaches the consumer or afterward.
