Abstract

An improved container for multiple food products comprising a receptacle and a nested insert. The receptacle and nested insert are injection molded. One removable seal covers the resultant container having two separate food product compartments. The container allows a consumer to hold the container having both food product compartments in one hand, thus enabling the consumer to mix and eat the food products with the other hand. The container is ideal for chips and salsa, crackers and cheese, or any other compatible food products that are desirably kept separate until shortly before consuming.

an insert comprising:
an insert cup having:
an insert base;
an insert wall attached to said insert base;
an insert mouth end attached to said insert wall; and a rim extending beyond and integral with said insert mouth end to form a pass-through opening, wherein said flange is mated with said rim such that said insert is nested with said receptacle such that said receptacle mouth end and said insert mouth end reside substantially in a same plane.
2. The container in claim 1 wherein a single removable seal is placed over said receptacle mouth end and said insert mouth end.
3. The container in claim 1 wherein said insert mouth end comprises a first removable seal.
4. The container in claim 3 wherein said receptacle mouth end comprises a second removal seal.
5. The container in claim 1 wherein said receptacle stores a first food product and said insert stores a second food product.
6. The container in claim 1 wherein said flange further comprises a protruded section, and wherein said rim comprises an L-shaped rim having a perpendicular section, wherein said protruded section exerts an inward force upon said perpendicular section.
7. A food product container for separately storing at least two food products comprising:
a receptacle comprising:

a receptacle base;
a receptacle wall connected to said receptacle base, wherein said receptacle wall extends outwardly from said receptacle base to form a receptacle mouth end;
