Detailed Description of the Invention

The package 1 of the invention comprises a body 1.1, at least a first chamber 1.2 which is located in the upper part of said body 1.1 , at least a second chamber 1.3 occupying a volume outside the first chamber 1.2, and at least one perforated structure 1.4 located anywhere on said body 1.1 for easily receiving an article E located in the second chamber 1.3, but outside said first chamber 1.2. In one embodiment, said perforated structure 1.3 comprises at least one successive (or periodically advancing) hole. In another embodiment, it is a sawtooth-like structure. Said perforated structure 1.4 has a form which is able to easily detach from the body 1.1 when pressed inwardly from the body 1.1 or pushed outwardly from the body 1.1.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said package 1 has two chambers. The first chamber 1.2 is fitted onto the body of the package 1 through the mouth part of the package 1 and occupies a predetermined volume of the package 1. Children’s favorite food products, such as ice cream, confectionery, marshmallow, are filled into said first chamber 1.2. The second chamber 1.3 is below said first chamber 1.2 and forms an empty volume of the package 1 , which is not occupied by the first chamber 1.2. Souvenirs E and toys in a size sufficient to be placed in the volume of the chamber are located in said second chamber 1.3. By means of the perforated structure 1.4 located anywhere on the body 1.1 of the package 1, a user is able to easily reach the gift/toy in the second chamber 1.3 without any need for consuming the food. The user detaches the perforated structure 1.4 from the body 1.1 of the package 1 by pulling it towards himself/herself, or pressing it inwardly. When the perforated structure 1.4 is detached from the body 1.1, the second chamber 1.3 becomes freer, so that the toy/gift may be reached in an easier way. In fact, an empty volume is provided between the bottom of the second chamber 1.3 and the bottom of the first chamber 1.2 for accommodating the toy E.

According to the embodiments of the invention, the package 1 may be, but not limited to, a disposable paper cup, or paper bowl, or plastic cup.
