An apparatus for dispersing a substance in a liquid beverage contained in a container includes a receptacle containing the substance formed in the interior of the container and an opening tab attached to the top of the container for bursting the receptacle to disperse the substance and for opening a pour panel in the top of the container so that the liquid beverage can be drunk from the container. The receptacle is formed of a flat sheet of an elastic material that is joined at opposite edges thereof to form a burstable seam. One end of the receptacle is a beak that causes the seam to burst upon engagement with the opening tab.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An apparatus for dispersing a substance in a liquid beverage comprising:a container containing a liquid beverage, the container including a bottom and at least one side defining an interior;a top having a non-resealable pour panel attached thereto;a burstable receptacle included in the interior of the container and containing a substance to be dispersed in the beverage, the receptacle being formed of a flat sheet of an elastic material that has been deformed so that the opposite edges of the flat sheet are releasable joined to form a seam and a beak at least at one end of the seam, the deformation having created elastic energy in the sheet which is stored in the sheet while the opposite edges remain joined; andan opening tab attached to the top such that lifting the opening tab breaks open the pour panel said burstable receptacle being positioned in the container such that when said opening tab breaks open the pour panel, the pour panel engages the beak of the burstable receptacle in the container causing a break in the seam which propagates along a length of the seam, thereby releasing the elastic energy stored in the sheet so that the receptacle bursts open and the substance is dispersed in the liquid beverage.
