A universal container lid for covering containers of differing diameters includes a circular top section formed of a center section receiving a straw therethrough and at least one expansion fold circumferentially affixed about the center section wherein the top section terminates at an outer diameter thereof. A substantially cylindrical sidewall extends downwardly from the top section outer diameter. The universal container lid can be stretched or compressed to tightly fit onto containers of differing diameters.

1. A container lid for covering containers of differing diameters, the container lid comprising: a top section configured to extend over and cover a top opening of a container, the top section comprising two or more expansion folds arranged circumferentially about the center section of the top section, extending in a concentric relationship with one another, and forming a stretchable portion of the top section to increase or reduce a width of the top section such that the top section can conform to different top opening widths of different containers; and a sidewall extending downwardly from the top section around a full perimeter thereof; whereinthe top section and sidewall are stretchable, elastic and fluid impervious; andwherein the two or more expansion folds are V-shaped in cross-section, and wherein an intersection of the V-shaped folds is axially lower than the center section and a top of the sidewall. 2. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the top section is circular and the sidewall is substantially cylindrical or frustoconical. 3. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the top section and the sidewall are integrally formed as a single-piece unit. 4. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the top section and the sidewall are attached to one another. 5. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the lid further includes a straw positioned at the top section and integrally formed with the top section. 6. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the top section comprises an orifice for removably receiving a straw therethrough. 7. The container lid of claim 1, further including one or more tabs extending from a bottom of the sidewall and away from the top section. 8. The container lid of claim 7, wherein at least one of the tabs extends radially outward front the bottom of the sidewall. 9. The container lid of claim 7, wherein at least one of the tabs extends from the bottom of the sidewall in surface continuation with the sidewall. 10. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the top section is formed of a fluid impervious elastic material. 11. The container lid of claim 1, wherein the sidewall is formed of a fluid impervious elastic material. 12. A container lid for covering containers of differing diameters, the container lid comprising: a circular top section configured to extend over and cover a top opening of a container, and a substantially cylindrical or frustoconical sidewall extending downwardly from the top section around a full perimeter thereof, wherein the top section and sidewall are integrally formed into a joint, single-piece unit made of a stretchable, elastic and fluid impervious material; whereinthe top section comprises a center section and two or more expansion folds extending circumferentially and concentrically about the center section, the two or more expansion folds forming a stretchable portion of the top section such that the top section can conform to different top opening diameters of different containers; andwherein the two or more expansion folds are V-shaped in cross-section, and wherein an intersection of the V-shaped folds is axially lower than the center section and a top of the sidewall. 13. The container lid of claim 12, further including one or more tabs extending from a bottom of the sidewall and away from the top section. 14. The container lid of claim 12, further comprising a straw extending through the center section of the top section, and integrally formed with the top section. 15. The container lid of claim 12, wherein the center section comprises an opening for the insertion therethrough of a straw. 16. A container lid for covering containers of differing diameters, the container lid comprising: a circular top section configured to extend over and cover a top opening of a container, a substantially cylindrical or frustoconical sidewall extending downwardly from the top section around a full perimeter thereof, and at least one tab extending from the sidewall, wherein the top section, sidewall and the at least one tab are integrally formed into a joint, single-piece unit made of a stretchable, elastic and fluid impervious material; whereinthe top section comprises a center section and two or more expansion folds extending circumferentially and concentrically from the center section, the two or more expansion folds forming a stretchable portion of the top section such that the top section can conform to different top opening diameters of different containers; andwherein the two or more expansion folds are V-shaped in cross-section, and wherein an intersection of the V-shaped folds is axially lower than the center section and a top of the sidewall. 17. The container lid of claim 16, further comprising a straw extending through the center section of the top section; and integrally formed with the top section. 18. The container lid of claim 16, wherein the center section comprises an opening for the insertion therethrough of a straw.
