The claimed invention is a novel container system that adds utility and convenience for the consumer “on-the-go”. The container system claimed includes a main tray member that holds food product (e.g. carrots), and lid member that is configured so that, when it is inverted, it acts as a secondary tray member that holds food product (e.g. condiment) and is further attachable to the rim of the tray member via an interference fit or snap-fit grip fit. The resulting utility is that the consumer is able to hold the main tray member with one hand or have held the main tray member (e.g. in a recess in an automobile consol) and access the contents of both trays with a free hand.

I claim: 1. A container with a vertical axis (70), that includes a base (4) which forms an upwardly opening base recess (7) and which has an upper end forming a base rim (16), and that includes a cover (2) with a top (74) and bottom (72), wherein said bottom is constructed to lie lowermost and lie over all of said base recess in a right-side-up position of the cover, wherein; said cover having a channel (14) in its top, said channel opening upwardly when said cover is right-side-up, and said channel opening downwardly when said cover is turned upside-down to an inverted position wherein said cover top is lowermost, with said cover leaving much of said base recess uncovered in said inverted position; said channel being constructed to closely receive said base rim in said inverted position of the cover; said base has a radially outward extension (76, FIG. 16), said cover and extension being formed with one having walls forming a vertically open recess (54) with an undercut (56) and the other having a vertically projecting protuberance (53) with an undercut, with said protuberance projecting into said recess (54) when the cover is in said inverted position and said base rim lies in said channel, to snap and therefore hold said cover protuberance in said recess. 2. A container which has a vertical axis (70), comprising: a base (4) which forms an upwardly opening base recess (7) and which has an upper end forming a base rim (16); a cover (2) which has a top (74) and a bottom (72), with said bottom constructed to lie lowermost and attach to said base, in a right-side-up position of the cover, and with said cover covering all of said base recess in said right-side-up position; said cover having a channel (14) in its top, said channel opening upwardly when said cover is right-side-up, and said channel opening downwardly when said cover is turned upside-down to an inverted position wherein said cover top is lowermost, with said cover leaving much of said base recess uncovered in said inverted position; said channel being constructed to closely receive said base rim in said inverted position of the cover; said base rim (16) has a circular portion extending around a majority of said axis and said base has a radially outward extension (76, FIG. 16), said cover and extension being formed with one having a vertically open recess (54) and the other having a vertically projecting projection (53) that project into said recess (54) when the cover is in said inverted position and said base rim lies in said channel. 3. A container which has a vertical axis (70), comprising: a base (4) which forms an upwardly opening base recess (7) and which has an upper end forming a base rim (16); a cover (2) which has a top (74) and a bottom (72), with said bottom constructed to lie lowermost and attach to said base, in a right-side-up position of the cover, and with said cover covering all of said base recess in said right-side-up position; said cover having a channel (14) in its top, said channel opening upwardly when said cover is right-side-up, and said channel opening downwardly when said cover is turned upside-down to an inverted position wherein said cover top is lowermost, with said cover leaving much of said base recess uncovered in said inverted position; said channel being constructed to closely receive said base rim in said inverted position of the cover; said base rim has a radially outward extension (76, FIG. 16) that forms an upwardly open slot (54); said channel (14) has inner and outer channel side walls (10, 12) and has a vertical projection (53) lying between said channel side walls; when said cover is in said inverted position said projection (53) projects downwardly into said slot (54). 4. A container which has a vertical axis (70), comprising: a base (4) which forms an upwardly opening base recess (7) and which has an upper end forming a base rim (16); a cover (2) which has a top (74) and a bottom (72), with said bottom constructed to lie lowermost and attach to said base, in a right-side-up position of the cover, and with said cover having a cover periphery (6) and said cover covering all of said base recess in said right-side-up position; said cover having a channel (14) in its top said channel extending between a pair of locations spaced around said cover periphery, said channel opening upwardly when said cover is right-side-up, and said channel opening downwardly when said cover is turned upside-down to an inverted position wherein said cover top is lowermost, with said cover leaving much of said base recess uncovered in said inverted position; said channel being constructed to closely receive said base rim in said inverted position of the cover; said channel (14) has a channel floor (18) that lies between said cover top and bottom in both the right-side-up and upside down, or inverted, position of the cover and said channel floor is supported on the base rim (16) in said inverted position of the cover.
