Double cup separable into upper and lower sections

Abstract

A double cup capable of containing snacks and drinks in a separate manner is provided so as to allow consumers to enjoy snacks and drinks at the same time. The double cup is divided into an upper section and a lower section through an auxiliary member having a drinking straw insertion portion, and the auxiliary member is a disk having a tapered outer periphery or an auxiliary cup having a shape same as that of the main cup. The auxiliary member is an auxiliary cup having a recess of a predetermined shape formed at the side surface of the auxiliary member, and the auxiliary cup has a stopper formed along an outer periphery of the top of the auxiliary cup in such a manner that an outer periphery of the auxiliary cup excluding the recess contacts an inner periphery of the main cup when inserted into the main cup, and the stopper is disposed onto the top of the main cup. The space defined between the main cup and the recess of the auxiliary cup forms a drinking straw insertion portion.
