Description

  The present invention relates to a beverage bottle.

For example, in bottled coffee or tea, there are several types of tastes set in advance by the manufacturer, such as sugar-free, sweet, and low sugar, and the taste is as set by the manufacturer. For example, if syrup (or sugar), milk, etc. can be stored separately, the taste can be adjusted according to the taste of the drinker, and the utility value is expected to increase significantly. As an example of a beverage bottle that can store such related articles, for example, an application has already been made regarding a bottle container in which a promotional item such as a character is stored in a lid portion so that it does not come off at the distribution stage (patent) Reference 1). However, this container is configured such that the bottom center hole of the cylindrical body is inserted into the spout of the bottle and the promotional product is stored in the space between the cylindrical body wall and the top surface and the outer periphery of the spout of the bottle. However, since the space is relatively small, the contents that can be stored are limited, and sugar for coffee and the like cannot be stored.
