The proprietary Smiler technology enables bottles/containers to be injection blow molded into different shapes and sizes.  The larger, top compartment holds liquid, while the bottom holds a snack item. Additionally, both can be used for dry products and/or non-food items. The second or bottom compartment is created by drawing the base upwards which forms a small cavity into which a heat-sealed portion cup, containing solid, granular or powdered products, can be inserted and held by friction.  The base opening can then be closed using a variety of heat-seal or pressure-sensitive materials/methods.  The top compartment relies on a traditional finish and closure.
