A container 5 is adapted to store at least two different ingredients in isolation. The ingredients are stored in compartments defined by projecting members (14), that project radially inward from the interior of the container wall 9, and extend for the length of the container. These members do not extend to the centre of the container, instead abutting with a central plugging means 10, coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the container, which seals the compartments. The plugging means may be flexible, for example a membrane or inflatable diaphragm, or inflexible, such as a cork. The plugging means may be released by pulling an attached cord 11, that may be connected to the cap 6 of the container, or to a ringpull (57), thus unsealing the compartments and allowing the ingredients to mix. Another embodiment comprises a container with a teat (77) that forms both the outlet and the plugging means. An annular compartment (63) is defined by an annular projecting member (71), and is sealed by a section of the inwardly extending teat, keeping it isolated from the main volume. The container is opened by pulling the teat outwards, thus breaking the seal, allowing the ingredients in the compartment and the main volume to mix. |
