Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for partitioning food containers, such as cereal bowls. Some embodiments may include a system with a food container, which may be a cereal bowl. The system may also include a flexible membrane having a top surface and a bottom surface. The membrane may partition the food container into a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion may be for holding liquid content. The upper bowl portion may be adapted for holding edible solid content. The membrane may have multiple passageways extending from the membrane bottom surface through the membrane top surface. The multiple passageways may be normally closed and then expand to an open configuration allowing fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a first direction normal to a resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface.

1. A partitioned food container system, comprising: a food container; anda flexible membrane having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the membrane partitions the food container into a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion being adapted for holding liquid content, the upper portion being adapted for holding edible solid content, the membrane having a plurality of passageways extending from the membrane bottom surface through the membrane top surface, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally closed and expand to an open configuration allowing fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a first direction normal to a resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface and the plurality of passageways remain in a closed configuration hindering fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a second direction normal to the resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface. 2. The partitioned food container system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally open. 3. The partitioned food container system of claim 1, wherein the food container is a cereal bowl. 4. The partitioned food container system of claim 1, wherein the flexible membrane is removable from the food container. 5. The partitioned food container system of claim 1, wherein the flexible membrane is integrated with the food container. 6. A method for partitioning a food container to separate temporarily a liquid from an edible solid content, the method comprising: inserting a partition into the food container, wherein the partition includes a top surface and a bottom surface and the partition partitions the food container into a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion being adapted for holding liquid content, the upper portion being adapted for holding edible solid content, the partition having a plurality of passageways extending from the partition bottom surface through the partition top surface, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally closed and expand to an open configuration allowing fluid transmission from below the partition to above the partition when the partition is flexed in a first direction normal to a resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface and the plurality of passageways remain in a closed configuration hindering fluid transmission from below the partition to above the partition when the partition is flexed in a second direction normal to the resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface. 7. The method for partitioning a food container to separate temporarily a liquid from an edible solid content of claim 6, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally open. 8. The method for partitioning a food container to separate temporarily a liquid from an edible solid content of claim 6, wherein the food container is a cereal bowl. 9. The method for partitioning a food container to separate temporarily a liquid from an edible solid content of claim 6, wherein the partition is removable from the food container. 10. The method for partitioning a food container to separate temporarily a liquid from an edible solid content of claim 6, wherein the partition is integrated with the food container. 11. A food container partition device comprising: a membrane having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the membrane partitions a food container into a lower portion and an upper portion, the membrane having a plurality of passageways extending from the membrane bottom surface through the membrane top surface, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally closed and expand to an open configuration allowing fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a first direction normal to a resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface and the plurality of passageways remain in a closed configuration hindering fluid transmission from below the membrane to above the membrane when the membrane is flexed in a second direction normal to the resting plane parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface. 12. The food container partition device of claim 11, wherein the membrane is further configured to be removably inserted into the food container. 13. The food container partition device of claim 11, wherein the membrane is further configured to be utilized with the food container that is a cereal bowl. 14. The food container partition device of claim 11, wherein the plurality of passageways are normally open. 15. The food container partition device of claim 11, further comprising a support structure coupled with the membrane, wherein the support structure is configured to extend over a top edge of the food container.
