A drinking cup that has a removable lid with three different types of drink delivery novelties. The first is a rotary drive dispenser. In which fluid is drawn up in a straw. At the top of the straw is a rotary arm, which is free to rotate. As the fluid is brought up through the straw, it is forced out of holes formed in the rotary arm causing the arm spins around the straw. As it rotates, the fluid is dispensed into a sump where a drinking straw is used to remove it. In the second design, fluid rises up through the straw where it exits the straw like a fountain spray. In the third design, a tall tube extends up from the lid. A ball sits in the tube. As the fluid is brought up, the ball is propelled upward inside the tube.

We claim: 1. An amusement drinking device for mounting on a beverage container and operable upon withdrawal of the beverage from the container comprising: a) a cover for fitting over the open end of a beverage container in an airtight arrangement, said cover having a port for receiving a drinking straw extending therein; b) a riser straw, extending from said cover downwardly into said beverage container, said riser straw having an open top; c) a rotor, rotatably mounted on said riser straw in said cover, wherein said rotor having a pair of oppositely disposed arms, and further wherein each of said pair of oppositely disposed arms has an exit port formed therein; d) said cover defining a circular trough in said exposed surface thereof, forming a sump and further wherein said drinking straw is in contact with said sump; e) wherein when suction is applied to said drinking straw, fluid is drawn up in said riser straw, wherein said fluid exits through said exit ports in said pair of oppositely disposed arms, causing said rotor to rotate about said riser straw. 2. The amusement drinking device of claim 1 wherein fluid exiting from said rotor is collected in a sump. 3. The amusement drinking device of claim 2 further comprising: a) a suction activated check valve, installed in said sump; and b) a return line, attached to said check valve and to said riser straw; c) wherein when suction is removed from drinking straw, the check valve opens, thereby allowing fluid accumulated in said sum to exit said sump through said return line back into said beverage container. 4. The amusement drinking device of claim 2 wherein the sump has a perimeter and further a plurality of symbols printed about said perimeter. 5. The amusement drinking device of claim 4 wherein the plurality of symbols is selected from the group of: numbers and letters. 6. The amusement drinking device of claim 1 wherein the rotor and cover further comprise: a) pair of low voltage led bulbs, placed on the ends of the rotor arms; b) a positive electrical connector, attached to said rotor; c) a negative electrical connector attached to said rotor; d) a pair of wires, attached to said pair of bulbs and to said positive electrical connector; e) a pair of wires, attached to said pair of bulbs and to said negative electrical connector; f) a receptacle formed in said cover, said receptacle having a positive terminal and a negative terminal installed therein; g) a battery attached to said cover; h) a first wire, extending from said battery to said positive terminal in said cover; and i) a second wire, extending from said battery to said negative terminal in said cover; j) such that when the rotor is placed in the cover and a user drinks, the rotor rises into the receptacle, such that the contacts on the rotor make electrical contact with the terminals in the lid, which causes the bulbs on said rotor to illuminate. 7. An amusement drinking device for mounting on a beverage container and operable upon withdrawal of the beverage from the container comprising: a) a cover for fitting over the open end of a beverage container in an airtight arrangement, said cover having a port for receiving a drinking straw extending therein; b) a riser straw, extending from said cover downwardly into said beverage container, said riser straw having an open top; c) said cover having a circular trough therein forming a sump, and further wherein said drinking straw is in contact with said sump; d) a suction activated check valve, installed in said sump; e) a return line, attached to said check valve and to said riser straw; f) wherein when suction is removed from drinking straw, the check valve opens, thereby allowing fluid accumulated in said sum to exit said sump through said return line back into said beverage container; and further g) wherein when suction is applied to said drinking straw, fluid is drawn up in said riser straw, wherein said fluid exits through said open top of said riser straw whereupon it descends into said sump. 8. The amusement drinking device of claim 7 wherein said cover forms a semispherical dome, and further wherein when said fluid exits said riser straw said fluid contacts said semispherical dome.
