A spill resistant lid to be secured over the open top of a container to resist spilling of the container contents from the open top of the container includes a central lid portion extending over the open top of the container. A raised portion, such as a drinking mouthpiece, extends above the central lid portion and a deformable section, such as a cylindrical section, extends downwardly from the raised portion toward the central lid portion. The deformable section is at least partially separable from the central lid portion so it can be deformed in an over center manner or other manner such that deformation of the deformable section toward the raised portion results in the deformable section assuming a stable open position exposing an opening or hole through the lid into the container and deformation of the deformable section from open position results in the deformable section assuming a stable closed position over the opening or hole.

1. A spill resistant lid adapted to be removably and sealably attached to an open topped container having a container wall surrounding the open top, comprising:circumferential securing means for securing the lid to the container over the open top of the container; a central lid portion extending over the open top of the container inside the circumferential securing means; a raised portion extending above the central lid portion; a deformable section sloping from the raised portion to the central lid portion and covering an opening in the central lid portion under the deformable section, said deformable section being at least partially separable with respect to the central lid portion, and being deformable toward the raised portion so said deformable section can be deformed and snapped into a stable position against the raised portion thereby uncovering and opening the opening in the central lid portion to allow the contents of the container to be discharged through the opening and to be deformed and snapped back to its original position over the opening to close the opening.
