Straw attachable to drink lid or container

Abstract

A drinking device comprising a lid or container and a straw selectively attached to the lid or container. The straw being selectively attached to the lid such that packets of coffee additives fictionally engage the lid. The lid further includes an indentation which has a predetermined radius in order to receive and secure a packet of coffee creamer. The straw can be selectively removed for use.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A lid apparatus comprising: 
 a lid, having an indicia thereon;    a straw removably attached to the lid at a location, said straw having an indicia thereon;    wherein the indicia on the straw is congruent with the indicia on the lid; and    wherein the location is such that the straw covers at least a portion of the indicia on the lid.    
     
     
         2 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , where the straw and the indicia on the lid combine to form an overall indicia.  
     
     
         3 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , where upon removal of the straw the covered portion of the lid indicia is revealed.  
     
     
         4 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , wherein the straw comprises at least one accordion section.  
     
     
         5 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , wherein the straw is selectively attached to the lid by a pressure sensitive adhesive.  
     
     
         6 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , wherein the lid includes at least one notch formed therein, such that the straw is fictionally secured to the lid by the at least one notch.  
     
     
         7 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , wherein the lid apparatus is configured to be stackable one a top another.  
     
     
         8 . The lid apparatus of    claim 1   , wherein the lid is a coffee lid.  
     
     
         9 . The lid apparatus of    claim 8   , further comprising at least one packet of coffee additive selectively attached to the coffee lid.  
     
     
         10 . The lid apparatus of    claim 9   , wherein at least one packet of coffee additive is selectively attached to the coffee lid by a pressure sensitive adhesive.  
     
     
         11 . The lid apparatus of    claim 9   , wherein at least one packet of coffee additive is selectively attached to the coffee lid by engaging the coffee lid under the straw.  
     
     
         12 . The lid apparatus of    claim 9   , wherein at least one packet of coffee additive is selectively attached to the coffee lid by grooves selectively positioned about the coffee lid.  
     
     
         13 . The lid apparatus of    claim 8   , further comprising an indention, the indentation having a predetermined radius such that a standard packet of coffee creamer being placed in the indentation fictionally engages the coffee lid.  
     
     
         14 . A drinking apparatus, comprising: 
 a cylindrical drink container having an end with a protruding circular rim concentric to the axis of the cylindrical drink container; and    a hollow straw having at least one accordion portion, the straw being removably attached to the protruding rim.    
     
     
         15 . The drinking apparatus of    claim 14   , wherein the straw has an indicia thereon that is congruent an indicia on the container and the straw covers at least a portion of the indicia on the container.  
     
     
         16 . A drinking cup apparatus, comprising: 
 a lid for covering a drinking cup;    a substantially circular indentation formed in the top of the lid for frictionally receiving a cylindrically-shaped container;    a plurality of notches protruding from the top of the lid for frictional engaging a straw; and    the straw frictionally engaged between the notches to be removably attached to the lid.
