A beverage cup and cover combination in which: (a) said cup has an upper rim in the form of an integral bead extending radially beyond the top edge of the cup wall to define an annular underledge; and (b) said cover is of hemispherical shape whose height is substantially one half its base including a top opening of diameter less than one half the diameter of the cup opening; the base of said hemispherical shape flaring radially outwardly to define an annular surface for seating on the top edge of said cup opening, and thence downwardly; to define a skirt dimensioned to overlie said bead; the side wall of said skirt having a series of uniformly circumferentially spaced inward radially directed indentations over 360°; said indentations defining upwardly facing segments for engaging under said annular underledge of said bead upon forcing the cover skirt over said annular bead to deform the indentations until they snap over the bead to said upwardly facing segments are free to engage under said annular underledge upon return of the indentations to their original form so that the cover is secured in plcae on said cup.
