Abstract

A squirt resistant and spill resistant container with an internally attached straw includes a container and a straw. The container has a top section, a lateral section, and a bottom section. The top section, the lateral section, and the bottom section each have an inner surface and an outer surface. An insertion hole and a vent hole traverse through the top section. The straw is inserted into the insertion hole and attached to the inner surface of the lateral section. A piercing tool attached to the straw is used to puncture a pierceable cover of the vent hole. As a result, venting occurs through the vent hole so that the stored content within the container can be easily drawn out through the straw.
