Dual compartment container for mints and picks

Abstract

The dual compartment container generally includes two elongated compartments separated by a divider and capable of storing mints and toothpicks. Each compartment is capped by a selectively lockable lid that retains the mints and toothpicks in each respective compartment of the container. The lids are capable of pivoting about a common hinge to selectively dispense the toothpicks and/or mints. A lock integral to each lid ensures retainment of the contents within each respective compartment during transportation.
