AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention allows a condiment container to be used with a vehicle cup holder. This is beneficial because the condiment container is not obstructed by a drinking straw and can be positioned on the side of the beverage, making it more accessible. Additionally, the condiment can be pre-packaged in the container, making it easy for consumers to use. This invention provides a more convenient and efficient way to use condiments in vehicles.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the difficulty for consumers to safely consume fast food while driving and the lack of a convenient and easy-to-use condiment container. Prior art solutions such as attaching a secondary condiment container to a beverage container or using a condiment container that surrounds the straw of a beverage container have limitations such as obstructed dipping and minimal surface area for condiment use. The present invention provides a disposable condiment container that is unobstructed and attached to a beverage container cover, allowing for easy and safe consumption while driving.
