1. A container for simultaneously holding liquids and foods to be consumed by a user comprising: a first compartment for holding a liquid of choice for consumption by said user, the first compartment comprising spaced upper and lower walls connected by a shell to define an enclosed structure that includes a central cavity into which the liquid of choice is held;a second compartment for holding a food of choice for consumption by said user, the second compartment being adjacent to and connected with the first compartment, wherein the second compartment is defined by the upper wall and the shell, with the upper wall defining a solid structure that operates as a barrier so that the second compartment is isolated from the first compartment in order to keep the liquid from entering the second compartment so that the food of choice within the second compartment is kept dry, and with the shell extending beyond the upper wall in a direction opposite the first compartment and continues to a terminating end, wherein the second compartment defines a structure that includes an upper cavity within the terminating end of the shell into which the food of choice is held;a channel extending through the shell and into the central cavity of the first compartment;wherein the channel operates as a two-way passage between the central cavity and environment outside of the first compartment, so that a) through which the liquid of choice is provided for filling of the central cavity of the first compartment and b) through which a user may consume the liquid of choice contained in the central cavity;wherein the container further comprises a funnel connected with the shell at the location of the second compartment and with the funnel having a passage therethrough connected with the channel, the funnel further having a terminating end into which liquid can both be provided to fill the central cavity in the first compartment and taken out from the central cavity to be consumed from the first compartment by the user, wherein the user can consume the liquid from the central cavity by either sucking upon the terminating end of the funnel or inserting a straw into the terminating end and through the passage and channel to enter the central cavity and sucking upon the straw. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the container further comprises a handle connected with the shell for a user to hold the container. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein the container further comprises a cap for placement onto the shell for enclosing the second compartment, in order to retain the food of choice within the second compartment. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein the container further comprises a cap for enclosing the passage in the funnel in order to retain the liquid within the first compartment. 5. The container of claim 4, further comprising as straw extending within the passage in the funnel, the channel and into the first compartment. 6. A container having a plurality of compartments for holding liquid and food at the same time comprising: spaced upper and lower walls connected by a shell defining a first compartment, with the first compartment for holding a liquid of choice, the first compartment defining an enclosed structure that includes a central cavity into which the liquid of choice is held;the shell extending beyond the upper wall and continuing to a terminating end defining a second compartment, the second compartment for holding a food of choice and isolated from the first compartment in order to keep the liquid from entering the second compartment, the second compartment being integrally connected and fixed to the first compartment, wherein the second compartment defines a structure that includes an upper cavity within the terminating end of the shell into which the food of choice is held, and with the upper wall defining a solid structure that operates as a barrier so that the second compartment is isolated from the first compartment in order to keep the liquid from entering the second compartment so that the food of choice within the second compartment is kept dry;an outer wall spaced from the shell and with the outer wall having one or more end portions connected with the shell as defining a third compartment for holding a second food of choice;a channel extending through the shell and into the central cavity of the first compartment, wherein the shell is defined by an outer surface and an inner surface at spaced separation, with the channel defining a first end located in the second compartment and protruding through the outer surface of the shell, the channel extending within the spaced separation in a substantially longitudinal direction from the second compartment and toward the first compartment, and the channel further defining a second end located in the first compartment and protruding through the inner surface of the shell, wherein the channel is the only opening in the first compartment and operates as a two-way passage between the central cavity and environment outside of the first compartment, so that a) through which the liquid of choice is provided for filling of the central cavity of the first compartment without requirement to open or disassemble any portion of the first compartment and b) through which a user may consume the liquid of choice contained in the central cavity; anda funnel integrally connected with the shell at the location of the second compartment and with the funnel having a passage therethrough connected with the channel, the funnel further having a terminating end into which liquid is both provided to fill the central cavity in the first compartment and taken out from the central cavity to be consumed from the first compartment by the user, wherein the user can consume the liquid from the central cavity by either sucking upon the terminating end of the funnel or inserting a straw into the terminating end and through the passage and. channel to enter the central cavity and sucking upon the straw. 7. The container of claim 6, wherein the container comprises a one-piece, unitary construction. 8. A container for simultaneously holding liquids and foods to be consumed by a user comprising: a first compartment for holding a liquid of choice for consumption by said user, the first compartment comprising spaced upper and lower walls connected by a shell to define an enclosed structure that includes a central cavity into which the liquid of choice is held;a second compartment for holding a food of choice for consumption by said user, the second compartment being adjacent to and connected with the first compartment, wherein the second compartment is defined by the upper wall and the shell, with the upper wall defining a solid structure that operates as barrier so that the second compartment is isolated from the first compartment in order to keep the liquid from entering the second compartment so that the food of choice within the second compartment is kept dry, and with the shell extending beyond the upper wall in a direction opposite the first compartment and continues to a terminating end, wherein the second compartment defines a structure that includes an upper cavity within the terminating end of the shell into which the food of choice is held;a channel extending through the shell and into the central cavity of the first compartment, wherein the shell is defined by an outer surface and an inner surface at spaced separation, with the channel defining a first end located in the second compartment and protruding through the outer surface of the shell, the channel extending within the spaced separation in a substantially longitudinal direction from the second compartment and toward the first compartment, and the channel further defining a second end located in the first compartment and protruding through the inner surface of the shell;wherein the channel operates as a two-way passage between the central cavity and environment outside of the first compartment, so that a) through which the liquid of choice is provided for filling of the central cavity of the first compartment and b) through which a user may consume the liquid of choice contained in the central cavity. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein the container comprises a one-piece, unitary construction. 10. The container of claim 8, further comprising a third compartment for holding a second food of choice. 11.
