A capsule has a hollow body defining a first compartment having an open end which is closed by a retainer, the latter being telescopically mounted within the hollow body. The retainer defines a second compartment having an open end, the second compartment being isolated from the first compartment by a frangible partition, the latter being an integrally molded portion of the retainer. The first and second compartments are utilized for storing first and second ingredients respectively. To seal the second material within the second chamber, a cap having a plunger is telescopically mounted over the capsule body, with the end of the plunger extending into the open end of the second chamber in a sealing relationship therewith. To use the capsule to mix the ingredients, it is compressed endwise so as to force the plunger inwardly to increase the pressure on the second ingredient (preferably liquid), rupture the partition, and eject the second ingredient into the first chamber. The capsule is then shaken to mix the ingredients, and the cap and retainer are pulled from the body as a unit to provide access to the mixture. The capsule may be compressed by hand alone or with the assistance of a special tool. |
