Abstract
Abstract A plastic spoon attachment, integrally molded with a conventional container cover, has spoon bowl wings separated by a tapering tunnel into which a soda straw end fits. When the straw is in place the wings and the periphery of the straw end define a spoon bowl for which the rest of the straw forms a handle. Preferably the spoon attachment and a container cover are injection molded in one piece with a parting line at the juncture of the spoon attachment and the cover.
