A beverage container to enable the manufacture and packaging of two flavors of juice or other liquid drinks. At present, the preference and favorite flavor of an individual consumer is not accommodated unless two or more products are purchased. This invention provides a cardboard or plastic divider panel that is incorporated into any existing cartons that overcomes these limitations by enabling a carton to be divided into two flavors. Each side of the beverage container has a spout for separate pouring the contents of that particular side.

1. A carton for separately containing and independently dispensing two liquids, comprising: a substantially rectangular tubular carton having at least one sidewall and a bottom wall defining a cavity therein;an opening at a top end of the carton;a plurality of folds formed in the at least one sidewall configured, when folded, to produce a gabled closure at the opening; the gabled closure having a pair of inwardly inclined surface walls joined along a sealed ridge;a divider panel having a plurality of flanges, wherein the flanges are sealingly attached to an interior surface of the at least one sidewall, the bottom wall, and the gabled closure, the divider panel separating the cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity; anda first spout formed in a first inwardly inclined surface wall and a second spout formed in an opposite inwardly inclined surface wall, wherein the first spout is in fluid communication with the first cavity and the second spout is in fluid communication with the second cavity. 2. The carton of claim 1, wherein the divider panel extends between a first interior corner of the cavity and an opposite interior corner of the cavity. 3. The carton of claim 2, wherein the first interior sidewall surface is opposite the second interior sidewall surface. 4. The carton of claim 2, wherein the divider panel has substantially rectangular lower end portion and a substantially triangular upper end portion, wherein the plurality of flanges comprises: a first flange formed along a left and a right vertical edge of the lower end portion, a second flange formed along a bottom edge of the lower end portion, and a third flange formed along a first and a second inwardly inclined edge of the upper end portion. 5. The carton of claim 4, wherein the first flange extends from an opposite face of the divider panel. 6. The carton of claim 4, wherein the third flange extends from an opposite face of the divider panel. 7. The carton of claim 4, wherein the plurality of flanges of the divider panel are sealingly attached to the interior sidewalls with an adhesive. 8. The carton of claim 1, wherein the divider panel extends between a first interior sidewall surface and a second interior sidewall surface. 9. The carton of claim 8, wherein the first interior sidewall surface is adjacent to the second interior sidewall surface. 10. A carton, comprising: a tubular carton having at least one sidewall and a bottom closure defining a cavity therein;an opening at a top end of the carton;a gabled closure at the top end to seal the opening; the gabled closure having a pair of inwardly inclined surface walls joined along a sealed ridge;a divider panel sealingly separating the cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity; anda first spout extending through the at least one sidewall in fluid communication with the first cavity and a second spout extending through the at least one sidewall in fluid communication with the second cavity. 11. The carton of claim 10, wherein the divider panel has a plurality of flanges defined along a peripheral edge thereof, wherein the plurality of flanges are sealingly attached to an interior surface of the at least one sidewall, the bottom wall, and the gabled closure. 12. The carton of claim 10, further comprising: a plurality of folds formed in an upper portion of the at least one sidewall configured, when folded, to produce a gabled closure at the opening; the gabled closure having a pair of inwardly inclined surface walls joined along a sealed ridge; wherein a first spout opening is formed in a first inwardly inclined surface wall and a second spout opening formed in an opposite inwardly inclined surface wall, wherein the first spout opening is in fluid communication with the first cavity and the second spout opening is in fluid communication with the second cavity. 13. A material configured to form a folded beverage container, comprising: a substantially rectangular sheet of foldable material having a plurality of vertical fold lines extending between a top edge of the sheet and a bottom edge of the sheet, the fold lines defining a plurality of sidewall panels;a lower horizontal fold line extending across a width of the sheet defining a lower closure portion,a pair of lower diagonal fold lines originating at an intersection of the plurality of vertical fold lines and the lower horizontal fold line and terminating at an intersection point that is midway between the plurality of vertical fold lines and proximal to a lower edge of the sheet;a first upper horizontal fold line extending across a width of the sheet defining a gabled closure portion,a second upper horizontal fold line extending across an edge portion of the sheet defining a gabled closure sealing portion;the gabled closure portion having a plurality of upper diagonal fold lines originating at an intersection of the plurality of vertical fold lines and the upper horizontal fold line and terminating at an apex along the second upper horizontal fold line;a plurality of vertical divider panel folds formed in one of the plurality of sidewall panels defining a divider panel, anda plurality of divider flange fold lines formed in the divider panel defining a top flange, a bottom flange, and a vertical edge flange configured for sealing engagement with the interior sidewalls of the carton when the sheet is folded.
