Top mounting bottle container

Abstract

Top mounting bottle container that couples with a bottle. A tab and cut-out in the cover provides for spill free snacking from an independent removable vessel. Salty snacks such as BEER NUTS® for example may couple to the top of a beer bottle for example. Various configurations enable the inclusion of fresh food, eating and drinking from a straw if desired while standing and walking and simultaneous access of solid or liquid in the container and bottle. Coupling elements that couple the top mounting bottle container to the bottle, may utilize any type of easily removable or semi-removable technology. Simplifies eating and drinking from one container and bottle in a theater or stadium having seats for example that provide one beverage holder per seat. Provides one free hand to hold a child's hand for safety while in stadiums and amusement parks.
