  • the locking mechanism includes resilient ramped portions 40 that lock into corresponding detents or against an end of the duct 30 of the first connector member 14 , thereby preventing withdrawal of the elongate body 36 from the duct 30 and securing the second connector portion 18 in a fully-mated position relative to the first connector portion 14 .
  • fluid flows through apertures 38 and the second connector portion directs the beverage fluid to the tube.
  • the second connector portion 18 is provided together with the filled pouch so that the second connector portion is readily available to a user.
  • the second connector portion 18 can be removably secured (in an unmated condition) to a side of the first connector portion 14 by a breakable, co-molded tab.
  • the user can remove the second connector portion 18 , fit a standard drink tube 20 to the second connector portion, mate the first and second connector portions, and then consume the drink.
  • the second portion 18 may also be removably secured to other structure of the pouch by other means, such as tape or an adhesive, or provided separately.
  • the second connector portion 18 may additionally be provided in a separate plastic package in order to maintain sterile conditions until use, in which case the separate package may be secured to the pouch by tape, an adhesive or another suitable means.
