A beverage cup having a detachable saliva reservoir so that a user may enjoy a beverage and smokeless tobacco products simultaneously. The cup has a saliva conduit running from its upper extremity down to a saliva reservoir which screws on the bottom. The upper portion of the conduit is formed into a mouthpiece which allows the user to easily deposit the saliva without the risk of it contaminating the contents of the cup. The beverage within the cup and the saliva reservoir are separated by an internal bulkhead. Cleaning is facilitated by the fact that the reservoir screws off the bottom. Both the cup and the reservoir can then be placed in a dishwasher or washed by hand.

Having described my invention, I claim: 1. A cup allowing a user to drink a beverage while simultaneously using smokeless tobacco and depositing saliva, comprising: a. a cup body, having an interior for receiving said beverage, and having an upper end and a lower end, wherein said upper end is open and said lower end is closed; b. a saliva conduit, having an upper end and a lower end, with said upper end being proximate said upper end of said cup and with said lower end being proximate said lower end of said cup, with said saliva conduit being isolated from said interior of said cup so as to prevent any fluid communication therebetween; c. a reservoir, proximate said lower end of said cup, and fluidly connected to said lower end of said saliva conduit so that when said user deposits said saliva into said upper end of said saliva conduit, said saliva runs down said saliva conduit and accumulates in said reservoir; d. wherein said upper end of said saliva conduit extends above said upper end of said cup body to form a mouthpiece, including i. a lower wall, extending upward from said outer perimeter of said cup body; and ii. a barrier wall, comprising the boundary of said mouthpiece closest to a center of said cup body. 2. A cup as recited in claim 1, wherein said reservoir is detachable from said cup. 3. A cup as recited in claim 1, wherein said barrier wall extends further upward than said lower wall. 4. A cup as recited in claim 1, further comprising a lid, sized to fit over said upper end of said cup body so as to seal said cup body. 5. A cup as recited in claim 4, wherein said lid includes a mouthpiece cutaway allowing said lid to fit over said upper end of said cup while said mouthpiece extends upward from said lid. 6. A cup allowing a user to drink a beverage while simultaneously using smokeless tobacco and depositing saliva, comprising: a. a cup body, having an interior for receiving said beverage, and having an upper end and a lower end, wherein said upper end is open and said lower end is closed; b. a saliva conduit, having an upper end and a lower end, with said upper end being proximate said upper end of said cup and with said lower end being proximate said lower end of said cup, with said saliva conduit being isolated from said interior of said cup so as to prevent any fluid communication therebetween; c. a reservoir, proximate said lower end of said cup, and fluidly connected to said lower end of said saliva conduit so that when said user deposits said saliva into said upper end of said saliva conduit, said saliva runs down said saliva conduit and accumulates in said reservoir; d. a cup lid, sized to fit over said upper end of said cup body so as to seal said cup body, said cup lid further comprising: i. a cutaway for receiving said saliva conduit; ii. a straw hole opening into said interior of said cup body when secured to said cup body; e. wherein said saliva conduit and said cup body form one integral unit; and f. wherein said upper end of said saliva conduit extends above said upper end of said cup body and said cup lid. 7. A cup as recited in claim 6, wherein said reservoir is detachable from said cup body. 8. A cup as recited in claim 6, wherein said upper end of said saliva conduit extends above said upper end of said cup body to form a mouthpiece, including a. a lower wall, extending upward from said outer perimeter of said cup body; and b. a barrier wall, comprising the boundary of said mouthpiece closest to a center of said cup body. 9. A cup as recited in claim 7, wherein said upper end of said saliva conduit extends above said upper end of said cup body to form a mouthpiece, including a. a lower wall, extending upward from said outer perimeter of said cup body; and b. a barrier wall, comprising the boundary of said mouthpiece closest to a center of said cup body.
