Description

A container that stores two contents {Container cap}

The present invention relates to a container storing two contents.

If two contents with different ingredients in one container are stored in separate spaces, the storage period is significantly increased compared to mixing different ingredients.

In addition, in the case of food and beverages consisting of main contents such as liquid form and auxiliary contents such as powder form, if the main contents and auxiliary contents are stored separately and mixed immediately before consumption, the taste components, etc. will not change, so the main contents and auxiliary contents will not change. The taste and nutrition of food and beverages become much better than when the contents are mixed and stored.

Therefore, in order to extend the storage period and improve the taste, the main contents and auxiliary contents are stored separately in one container and then distributed, so that the main contents and auxiliary contents can be mixed with each other just before consumption by the user.

However, the container according to the prior art had a problem in that it could not store the two types of contents while completely blocking them from air.
