A thin-walled cup is formed of a single piece of polymeric material having a uniform thickness throughout the extent of the single piece of polymeric material. The cup has an outer chamber which extends around an inner chamber. The outer chamber holds a first liquid and the inner chamber holds a second liquid. The liquid in the inner chamber is mixed with the liquid in the outer chamber during drinking from the cup.

Having described the invention, the following is claimed: 1. A thin-walled cup formed from a single piece of polymeric material having uniform thickness throughout the extent of said single piece of polymeric material, said cup comprising a circular outer side wall which extends between a circular outer rim portion and an annular outer bottom wall of said cup, said circular outer side wall and said annular bottom wall having the same thickness, a first circular inner side wall extending from said annular bottom wall to a circular inner rim portion, said circular inner rim portion is disposed in a coaxial relationship with said circular outer rim portion and is axially offset from said circular outer rim portion in a direction toward said annular outer bottom wall, said circular inner rim portion having a uniform cross sectional configuration throughout the extent of said circular inner rim portion, a second circular inner side wall extending from said circular inner rim portion to a circular inner bottom wall, said first circular inner side wall being spaced apart from said second circular inner side wall throughout the extent of said first circular inner side wall, said first and second circular inner side walls and said circular inner bottom wall having the same thickness as said circular outer; side wall, said circular inner rim portion having an arcuate upper side surface area and an arcuate lower side surface area as viewed in a radial plane containing a central axis of said cup, said arcuate upper and lower side surface areas having coincident centers of curvature which are spaced apart from the central axis of said cup, said coincident centers of curvature of said arcuate upper side surface area and said arcuate lower side surface area being disposed at a location which is beneath said arcuate lower side surface area and which is intermediate and is spaced apart from said first and second circular inner side walls, said second circular inner side wall and said circular inner bottom wall at least partially defining an inner chamber which receives a first liquid and said circular outer side wall and said annular outer bottom wall at least partially defining an outer chamber which extends around said inner chamber and which receives a second liquid which is different than the first liquid. 2. A thin-walled cup as set forth in claim 1 wherein said coincident centers of curvature of said arcuate upper and lower surface areas on said circular inner rim portion are disposed further from said arcuate upper side surface area than said arcuate lower side surface area. 3. A thin-walled cup as set forth in claim 1 wherein said arcuate upper side surface area on said circular inner rim portion has a larger radius of curvature than said arcuate lower side surface area on said circular rim portion.
