       10 . The two part container of  claim 9 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base. 
   
   
       11 . The two part container of  claim 10 , wherein the second container has a generally cylindrical, tube shape. 
   
   
       12 . The two part container of  claim 9 , wherein a third diameter of the second container mouth is greater than a fourth diameter of the second container base. 
   
   
       13 . The two part container of  claim 9 , further comprising a foldable spoon locatable in at least one of the first and second containers. 
   
   
       14 . The two part container of  claim 1 , further comprising the first and second container mouths being located on generally opposing sides of the two part container when the first and second containers are attached. 
   
   
       15 . The two part container of  claim 1 , wherein the second panel of the first container is generally translucent so that the first container generally has a color of the thermal energy storage material. 
   
   
       16 . The two part container of  claim 15 , wherein the second container sidewall is generally translucent. 
   
   
       17 . The two part container of  claim 1 , wherein the second container sidewall is generally translucent. 
   
   
       18 . A two part container adapted to separately hold consumable foodstuffs, comprising:
 a first container having a first longitudinal axis, comprising:
 a first container base; 
 a first container sidewall extending from the base to define a first container mouth, the first container sidewall defining a first foodstuff receiving cavity; 
   a second container having a second longitudinal axis, comprising:
 a second container base; and 
 a second container sidewall extending from the second container base to define a second container mouth, the second container sidewall and the second container base defining a second foodstuff receiving cavity; 
   wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable in a generally end-to-end fashion so that the first and second longitudinal axes are aligned to form the two part container.   
   
   
       19 . The two part container of  claim 18 , wherein the first and second containers are detachably engageable via a twist lock mechanism. 
   
   
       20 . The two part container of  claim 18 , wherein, when the first and second containers are attached, the first container provides a lid for the second container mouth. 
   
   
       21 . The two part container of  claim 18 , further comprising a grip member positioned proximate an interface between the first and second containers and secured generally around the first container base when the first and second containers are attached. 
   
   
       22 . The two part container of  claim 18 , wherein a first diameter of the first container mouth is greater than a second diameter of the first container base.
