Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 544,184 filed on Aug. 11, 2017. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a packet for a spreadable condiment. Condiments are a common food item utilized to supplement or enhance the flavor of a food item. When a meal is adapted to be consumed in a fast manner, such as a packed meal or a to go meal from a restaurant, condiments are commonly provided in the form of packets. These packets are typically used for viscous condiments, such as ketchup, mayonnaise or barbecue sauce. However, these standard packets are inadequate for condiments that lack the viscosity of these condiments. For example, condiments such as peanut butter or almond butter lack the viscosity to be properly dispersed by current condiment packets.[0...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a blown layer and a seal layer made of flexible material for easy use and prevention of contamination when releasing a spreadable condiment. The invention also provides information on the contents of the packet through an external surface indicium. The invention also includes an internal cavity that prevents contamination and a dividing wall that prevents the contents of different chambers from mixing. These technical effects make the invention more user-friendly, efficient, and clean.

Problems solved by technology

However, these standard packets are inadequate for condiments that lack the viscosity of these condiments.

For example, condiments such as peanut butter or almond butter lack the viscosity to be properly dispersed by current condiment packets.

Additionally, spreading a material, such as peanut butter, that is not viscous can be a frustrating task.

Particularly, when spreading a thick material, such as peanut butter, onto a softer material, such as bread, the softer material may be compromised during the spreading process.
