An All-In-One Lid Dispenser contains condiments and additives to be added to a beverage or food container. Raised sections on the top panel of the lid are depressed by the consumer which causes punches to separate the dispensing flaps from the bottom panel. The condiments or additives which are contained in between the top and bottom panels flow through the dispensing flap holes into the beverage or food.
