2. Description of the Related Art Bottles made of plastic (such as PET) are used as containers for drinks such as juices. Since the plastic bottle has a screw-type cap at the mouth, even when it cannot be drunk, there is an advantage that it can be easily stored just by tightening the cap, unlike a canned beverage. In particular, in recent years, it has begun to be used not only for large-capacity bottles such as 1.5 to 2 liter bottles, but also for containers having a capacity of about 500 ml that can be drunk by one person. When drinking such a small-capacity bottled beverage, it is not often bothersome to transfer it to a container such as a cup and drink it directly from the bottle in many cases.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional plastic bottles have the following problems. That is, the mouth edge of the spout of the plastic bottle is formed at right angles to the length direction of the spout. Therefore,
When drinking with a mouth attached directly to the spout, the entire end of the spout is to be taken in the mouth. This method of drinking is normal for normal adults, but difficult for small children and women to drink. Also, especially for women, opening the mouth wide and drinking is not a very good way to drink. In addition, in order to cope with such a problem, there is a method of drinking that does not open the mouth very much by positioning the upper lip portion at the opening of the mouth so as not to hold the mouth, but in this method, It is necessary to allow air to enter through the opening of the drinking spout, and the drinking is performed as if the lips were narrowed, so that there was a problem that the beverage was easily spilled from the mouth.
