Abstract
Abstract A magic container for containing beverages such as soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. The wall of the container contains a conduit which communicates the interior with the exterior. The inlet port and the outlet port of the conduit are formed at the lower portions of the container. The conduit starts from the inlet port, runs through the rising portion, the uppermost portion and the descending portion, and reaches the outlet port which is located at a position lower than the inlet port. After the use, for example, at a resort, the container can be utilized as a toy to be played with by children or as an implement for scientific experiments.
