Multi-chambered drink bottle
A drink bottle for separately containing and delivering to the mouth of the user two or more liquids is disclosed. Some embodiments comprise a mixing chamber wherein the liquids are mixed prior to being discharged through an orifice. Deformable containers permit the liquids to be delivered or forced into the mixing chamber by squeezing the sides of the bottle. In certain embodiments, check valves are provided to prevent the flow of liquid from the mixing chamber into the separate liquid containers. In one embodiment, the liquids are delivered through tubes arranged in a spiral configuration for novelty effect.
