Identifying indicia for beverage containers

Abstract

A beverage container comprises a label. The label includes sections that are designed to be selectively removed. A plurality of indicia associated with the sections identify the removed sections.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A beverage container, comprising:
 a label, the label including:
 a plurality of perforated sections that are designed to be selectively removed, and 
 a plurality of indicia, each indicium in the plurality of indicia being located adjacent to a perforated section from the plurality of perforated sections, so that when a perforated section from the plurality of perforated sections is removed, an adjacent indicium from the plurality of indicia identifies the removed perforated section. 
   
     
     
         2 . A beverage container as in  claim 1  wherein the beverage container is a water bottle. 
     
     
         3 . A beverage container as in  claim 1  wherein the beverage container is a can. 
     
     
         4 . A beverage container as in  claim 1  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a character. 
     
     
         5 . A beverage container as in  claim 1  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a color section. 
     
     
         6 . A beverage container as in  claim 1  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a shape. 
     
     
         7 . A beverage container, comprising:
 a label, the label including:
 a plurality of scratchable sections that are designed to be selectively removed, and 
 a plurality of indicia, each indicium in the plurality of indicia being integrated as part of a scratchable section from the plurality of scratchable sections, so that when a scratchable section from the plurality of scratchable sections is removed, this changes which indicia from the plurality of indicia are viewable. 
   
     
     
         8 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein each indicium from the plurality of indicia is visible until a scratchable section on which the indicium resides is scratched off. 
     
     
         9 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein each indicium from the plurality of indicia is not visible until a scratchable section under which the indicium resides is scratched off. 
     
     
         10 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein the beverage container is a water bottle. 
     
     
         11 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein the beverage container is a can. 
     
     
         12 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a character. 
     
     
         13 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a color section. 
     
     
         14 . A beverage container as in  claim 7  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a shape. 
     
     
         15 . A beverage container, comprising:
 a label, the label including:
 a plurality of peel-off sections that are designed to be selectively removed and stuck to a new area on beverage container, and 
 a plurality of indicia, each indicium in the plurality of indicia being located on a peel-off section from the plurality of peel-off sections, so that when a peel-off section from the plurality of peel-off sections is removed and stuck to a new area on the beverage container, the indicium identifies the peel-off section that has been removed and stuck to the new area on the beverage container identifies the peel-off section that has been removed and stuck to the new area on the beverage container. 
   
     
     
         16 . A beverage container as in  claim 15  wherein the beverage container is a water bottle. 
     
     
         17 . A beverage container as in  claim 15  wherein the beverage container is a can. 
     
     
         18 . A beverage container as in  claim 15  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a character. 
     
     
         19 . A beverage container as in  claim 15  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a color section. 
     
     
         20 . A beverage container as in  claim 15  wherein each indicium is the plurality of indicia is a shape.
