Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is based on the idea that when water is poured into a container, the sparkling beverage foams and dissolves, and the gas pressure generated during the foaming causes the dissolved sparkling beverage to flow out of the straw into a fountain shape. This invention relates to a sparkling beverage packaged in a container that overflows.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, sparkling beverages have been made using acidulants and sodium hydrogen carbonate as the main ingredients, with additives such as flavorings added as drinking ingredients, and molded into granules to achieve immediate solubility. . This type of sparkling beverage is used to make instant drinks, etc., and its usage is by putting the sparkling beverage in a container such as a pot and pouring water, and especially enjoying the foaming form. Rather, it is about enjoying the finished product itself.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, due to the recent diversification of sweets etc.
Especially when it comes to sweets for children, there is a trend that they not only satisfy the taste buds, but also satisfy the sense of play. Therefore, there is a need to provide sparkling beverages that not only provide an enjoyable taste but also have properties that satisfy children's sense of play.

This invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a packaged sparkling beverage that not only enjoys the taste but also satisfies children's sense of play.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the bottled sparkling beverage of this invention includes a small airtight container with a water injection part that has a small diameter straw insertion hole at the top, and a small airtight container that is housed in the airtight container and foams when it meets water. and a straw that is removably inserted into the straw insertion hole so that the foamed beverage, which is foamed by the pressure of the gas generated from the sparkling beverage, overflows from its opening in the form of a fountain. The structure is as follows.

That is, the above-mentioned sparkling beverage is prepared by pouring water into a container,
Then, when you insert the straw into the straw insertion hole,
The foamed beverage foams due to the gas pressure generated by the sparkling beverage and overflows from the upper opening of the straw in a fountain shape, which is interesting, and after enjoying it, you can put your mouth on the straw and suck the sparkling beverage. This means that you can enjoy the taste at the same time.

As mentioned above, in order to cause the foamed beverage to overflow from the top opening of the straw in a fountain shape, it is necessary to
The sparkling beverage itself is also required to have a certain degree of viscosity when foamed. That is, unless the sparkling beverage itself has a certain degree of viscosity, it will not overflow like a fountain from the top opening of the straw as described above, but will simply be a droplet of liquid scattering from the top opening. From this point of view, it is preferable to set the following raw material composition for the above-mentioned sparkling beverage.

Citric acid: 3-10% by weight (hereinafter referred to as "%") Sodium bicarbonate: 3-10% Egg white powder: 0.1-1.0% Sugar (granulated sugar or powdered sugar)
: 78 to 93% Pigment, fragrance: Balance It is more suitable for the above-mentioned sparkling beverages to be granulated than powdered ones. In other words, since granulation increases the surface area, it becomes easier for water to penetrate into the inside of the sparkling beverage when water is added, resulting in faster foaming, and a good foaming state is maintained for a considerable period of time. This is because it becomes From this point of view, the size of the granulated particles is preferably set to 0.8 to 2.0 mm.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail based on examples.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a small airtight container having a narrow straw insertion hole 2 in its upper part, and is made of transparent plastic. The periphery of the straw insertion hole 2 extends upward while expanding to form a cup-shaped bubble receiving portion 1a. 3 is a sparkling beverage contained in the container 1; 4 is a straw that is removably inserted into the straw insertion hole 2 of the beverage 3;
5 is a dropper-shaped container for pouring water through the straw insertion hole 2. In this way, the straw insertion hole 2 also serves as a water inlet. The dropper-shaped container 5 is made of plastic and is configured to absorb and discharge water by pressing and releasing the pressure on the body. In this case, the mutual ratio between the diameter of the straw insertion hole 2 and the diameter of the straw 4 is set such that the gap between the outer periphery of the straw 4 and the inner periphery of the straw insertion hole 2 is 0.05 to 2 mm, as shown in FIG. It is preferable to set it so that If this gap becomes smaller than the above range, the gas pressure inside the container 1 will become too high and the sparkling beverage 3 will be shot upward from the tip of the straw 4 like a bullet, causing it to overflow in the form of a fountain, which is the purpose of this invention. It becomes difficult to obtain the desired appearance. Conversely, if the above-mentioned gap is larger than 2 mm, more gas will escape from the gap, and the amount of bubbles overflowing from the tip of the straw 4 will decrease, making it difficult to obtain a fountain-like appearance. . The composition of the sparkling beverage 3 is as follows: citric acid: 6.25%, sodium bicarbonate: 6.25%, egg white powder: 0.55%, sugar: 85%, pigment, flavoring: the balance, and the average particle size is 1.0 mm. is set to .

In this configuration, water is sucked into the dropper, and its tip is applied to the straw insertion hole 2 to inject water into the interior. As the sparkling beverage 3 begins to foam due to this water injection, the straw 4 is immediately inserted into the straw insertion hole 2 of the container 1 as shown in FIG. 3. As a result, the foamed beverage 3 overflows from the straw 4 in the form of a fountain, as shown in FIG. 4, in a foamed state due to the gas pressure when the foamed beverage 3 is foamed. This state continues for approximately 5 to 6 minutes. The overflowing sparkling beverage 3 is collected in the foam receiving portion 1a of the airtight small container 1.

In this way, with this containerized sparkling beverage, children can enjoy the fountain-like overflowing appearance of the sparkling beverage while enjoying the foamed beverage stored in the foam receiver 1a. It is possible to satisfy both the sense of fun and the flavor of the sparkling beverage itself.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, an ordinary bottle-shaped container 10 is used, and a screw is provided at the opening of the container 10, into which a lid 11 having a straw insertion hole is fitted.
Water is poured through the upper opening of the container 1 by removing the lid 11, and then the lid 11 is screwed together and the straw 12 is inserted to obtain the same effect as in the previous embodiment.

[Effect of idea]

Since the containerized sparkling beverage of this invention is constructed as described above, it not only satisfies children's sense of play through the fun foaming behavior of the sparkling beverage, but also allows them to enjoy the taste of the sparkling beverage itself. This is an extremely new product that is expected to stimulate significant demand.
