Abstract:
1. A partitioned food container system, comprising: a food container; and a flexible membrane having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the membrane partitions the food container into a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion being adapted for holding liquid content, the upper portion being adapted for holding edible solid content, the membrane having a plurality of passageways extending from the membrane bottom surface through the membrane top surface, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally closed and expand to an open configuration allowing fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a first direction normal to a resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface and the plurality of passageways remain in a closed configuration hindering fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a second direction normal to the resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface.
