Beverage Container Holding an aqueous liquid and an oleogenous liquid

Abstract

The present invention provides a beverage container comprising two separate compartments, a first compartment having an internal volume of 2-50 ml holding an aqueous liquid and a second compartment having an internal volume of 2-50 ml holding an oleogenous liquid, said aqueous liquid and said oleogenous liquid being present in the container in a weight ratio of less than 3:1, said first compartment comprising a first dispensing aperture and said second compartment comprising a second dispensing aperture, wherein the first dispensing aperture and the second dispensing aperture can be simultaneously positioned in the mouth of an average adult human. Unexpectedly, the inventors have discovered that if the aqueous liquid and the olegenous liquid are simultaneously ingested from the beverage container, hardly no fatty mouthfeel is experienced by the consumer.
