A plural-chambered, gravity-activated dispensing device that incrementally dispenses two or more flowable products at a substantially constant, predetermined ratio. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inner container is positioned within an outer container, each container defining a chamber adapted to contain a flowable product, and having a discharge opening therein. An empty third container is sized and positioned within the inner container to impose on the inner chamber\s pouring characteristics an effect similar to that imposed on the outer chamber\s pouring characteristics by the inner container to thereby achieve a substantially constant dispensing ratio between the pourable products dispensed therefrom. In another particularly preferred embodiment, the effect of the third empty container mentioned above is superimposed on the inner container\s shape and position within the outer container, thereby eliminating the third empty container. Also provided are a unique pouring spout and sealing cap to be used in conjunction with dual-chambered dispensing devices of the present invention, as well as a method of making such dispensing devices.

A device for simultaneously dispensing at least two flowable products by the force of gravity alone, said device comprising: (a) an outer container defining an outer chamber and having an upper portion, said outer chamber adapted to contain a first flowable product, said upper portion having a first discharge opening; (b) an inner container defining an inner chamber adapted to contain a second flowable product and being fixedly disposed within said outer container, said inner container having a second discharge opening; and (c) a third empty container disposed within said inner chamber, said third empty container being so shaped and fixedly positioned relative to said inner and outer containers that incremental dispensing of said first and second flowable products is maintained at a substantially constant, predetermined ratio. A device for simultaneously dispensing at least two flowable products by the force of gravity alone, said device comprising: (a) an outer container defining an outer chamber and having an upper portion, said outer chamber being adapted to contain a first flowable product, said upper portion having a first discharge opening therein; and (b) an inner container defining an inner chamber adapted to contain a second flowable product and being fixedly disposed within said outer container, said inner container having a second discharge opening, said inner container being so shaped and fixedly positioned relative to said outer container that the impact of said inner container on the pouring characteristics of said first flowable product in said outer container is simulated on the pouring characteristics of said second flowable product in said inner container, whereby incremental dispensing of said first and second flowable products is maintained at a substantially constant, predetermined ratio without either said first or said second discharge openings becoming inundated by said first or said second flowable products, respectively.
