A disposable cover element for a disposable beverage container having a recess centrally formed in the exterior surface thereof adapted to carry readily removably secured therein a foldable drinking straw. Such drinking straw includes two transversely corrugated lengths, the centers of which are spaced apart a distance substantially equal to one-half of the total length of such drinking straw, and which are each bendable into a half-loop configuration. Such drinking straw further includes a straight length extending between the two corrugated lengths thereof, as well as shorter terminal straight lengths. Such drinking straw is foldable until the opposite ends thereof are substantially in abutment, and the straight terminal lengths thereof are substantially in alignment, and the recess provided in such cover element is proportioned to receive such drinking straw in such folded condition; small projections or projecting portions provided adjacent the side walls of such recess serving to retain such folded drinking straw therein until manually removed therefrom. Such recess further includes an enlargement into which a fingertip may be inserted for facilitating the removal of such folded drinking straw therefrom. After removal from such cover element recess, such drinking straw is readily straightened for use.
