A soft drink container includes a plurality of the additive storage containers, a plurality of additive contents contained in the additive storage containers, an additive storage selector, a base storage container containing at least one base liquid, and a mechanism operable to release the additive contents into the base liquid storage. The plurality of additive contents may include at least one of salts, spices, flavoring, color agents, odors, fragrances, vitamins, thickeners, enhancers, fruit distillers, preservatives and vitamins. The additive storage selector is operable to separately align each of the plurality of additive storage containers with an opening of the base storage container and is operable to release a selected additive content into the base liquid container. The additive storage selector may further include a piercer operable to pierce the base storage container.

1. An apparatus comprising: a plurality of additive storage cavities configured to contain at least one additive substance, each additive storage cavity comprising: a top sealed by an upper thin plate, the upper thin plate includes an upper sealed hole spanning a limited portion of the upper thin plate,a bottom sealed by a lower thin plate, the lower thin plate includes a lower sealed hole spanning a limited portion of the lower thin plate and is configured to be vertically aligned with the upper sealed hole,each of the upper sealed hole and the lower sealed hole are configured to be punctured by a cavity piercing mechanism, andeach additive storage cavity is configured to guide the cavity piercing mechanism to pass vertically through the additive storage cavity via puncture of a portion of the upper sealed hole and a portion of the lower sealed hole;a lower base liquid container configured to store a base liquid, the lower base liquid container is sealed at its top by a puncturable upper surface; andthe apparatus is configured to release a selected additive substance from a selected additive storage cavity into the lower base liquid container by receiving the cavity piercing mechanism to pass vertically through the selected additive storage cavity into the lower base container. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each additive storage cavity is configured to contain at least one additive bag containing the additive substance, such that the additive bag is sandwiched between the upper thin plate and the lower thin plate. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, the apparatus is configured to release a selected additive substance from a selected additive storage cavity into the lower base liquid container by receiving the cavity piercing mechanism to pass vertically through the selected additive storage cavity, such that the cavity piercing mechanism tears the additive bag containing the selected additive substance after piercing the upper sealed hole and prior to piercing the lower sealed hole. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the upper sealed hole of the upper thin plate and the corresponding lower sealed hole of the lower thin plate of one of the additive storage cavities are vertically aligned with a corresponding one of the additive bags. 5. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a plurality of labels, each of the plurality of labels identifies: a property associated withat least one selected additive storage cavity to be punctured by the piercing mechanism to release the selected additive into the lower base liquid container. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, each of the upper sealed hole and the lower sealed hole is sealed by a thin foil configured to be punctured by the cavity piercing mechanism. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, the cavity piercing mechanism comprises a drinking straw. 8. An additive selector configured to release at least one additive substance into a base liquid container, the additive selector comprising: an upper plate including a plurality of upper sealed holes, each upper sealed hole spanning a limited portion of the upper plate,a lower plate including a plurality of lower sealed holes, each lower sealed hole spanning a limited portion of the lower thin plate, the lower sealed hole configured to be aligned with the upper sealed hole,each of the upper sealed hole and the lower sealed hole are configured to be punctured by a piercing element, anda plurality of walls configured to segment an interior space bounded by the upper plate and lower plate into a plurality of cavities, each cavity contains at least one additive substance;the additive selector is configured to release a selected additive substance into the base liquid container by guiding the piercing element to pass vertically through a selected cavity via puncture of a portion of an upper sealed hole and a corresponding vertically aligned lower sealed hole of the selected cavity. 9. The additive selector of claim 8, each cavity is configured to contain at least one additive bag containing the additive substance, such that the additive bag is sandwiched between the upper plate and the lower plate. 10. The additive selector of claim 8, comprising a plurality of labels, each of the plurality of labels identifies: a property associated with a mixture of at least one selected additive substance into the base liquid container, andat least one selected cavity to be punctured by the piercing element to release the selected additive into the base liquid container. 11. The additive selector of claim 8, each upper sealed hole and lower sealed hole is covered by a thin foil configured to be punctured by the piercing element. 12. The additive selector of claim 8, the additive substance including at least one of salts, spices, flavoring, color agents, odors, fragrances, vitamins, thickeners, enhancers, fruit distillers, preservatives and vitamins. 13. The additive selector of claim 8, the piercing element comprises a drinking straw.
