Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of the Invention 
     The present invention is a pacifier. More specifically, the present invention is a flavored pacifier. 
     Description of the Related Art 
     The present invention has two separate items the pacifier and the food compartment. The main purpose of the present invention is to expand the functionality of traditional pacifiers, specifically, to provide food flavors to the ply latex portion. Pacifiers are common accessories which individuals provide to infants for teething and comfort purposes. Current products on the market however, consist of latex or silicone sucking tips, which are flavorless and may leave an odd taste in a baby&#39;s mouth. The present invention introduces a baby binky which allows consumers to insert small foods into the device, eliminating the taste of synthetic compounds from their mouths and providing tasty flavors instead. The present invention is simple to use, individuals can open the food compartment of the sucker, insert a food item, such as mash potatoes, pureed baby food, yogurt, etc., seal the compartment, and place it inside the baby&#39;s mouth, enabling them to suck the food into their mouths and savor its flavor while using the pacifier. Once finished, one can open the food compartment of the present invention and easily wash out any remaining food, leaving the accessory clean for future use. The present invention can easily appeal to all consumers with infants, as it adds a novel alternative to the use of traditional binkies, making it possible to be readily available at diverse department stores and/or online retailers. 
     The flavored pacifier is the only product of its kind to present a feature created to avoid the occurrence of infants being exposed to a rubbery after taste as they suckle on the composition materials of pacifiers. The flavored pacifier is uniquely designed with a food compartment, allowing consumers to choose what flavor the binky will have, making the product adaptable to the varying palates a toddler may prefer.
