Double chamber bottle assembly
View Patent ↗A double chamber bottle assembly includes a first container that contains a fluid condiment and a second container that contains a fluid condiment. The second container releasably engages the first container such that the first and second containers form a bottle. A cap is rotatably coupled to each of the first and second containers and the cap has a plurality of dispensing apertures each extending therethrough.
