Product description
The submitted sample is identified as an EZ-Freeze Bunny Flip Top, SKU# 825006. This item is a drinking container that is constructed of pink polypropylene (PP) plastic material. You have stated that this same style will be available in other colors. The item has a twist off round shaped lid, the front part of which is covered with a semi circular shaped cap that is attached by two hinges, one on each side of the cap. The front of the cap is designed with the printed face of a bunny. Two molded protrusions on the top of the cap are shaped like bunny ears. When the ears are manually pushed back, the cap is rotated on its hinges to the back of the lid, thereby allowing a plastic straw to unfold and pop up from an aperture in the center of the lid. When the ears are pushed forward, the cap returns to its place on the front part of the lid, thereby folding the straw back into a concealed position. Attached to the bottom side of the lid is a removable plastic tube that is filled with EZ Freeze, a liquid mixture that maintains the cool temperature of the beverage with which the container will be filled. When not in use, the tube is designed to be removed and stored in the freezer. When in use and the lid is screwed into place on the top of the container, the tube and the straw project downward into the container and run parallel to each other. The container portion of the item measures 5” in height and when the lid is in place, the entire item measures 7½” in height, including the ears on the top of the cap The diameter of the container ranges from 2” at the mouth and at the bottom, to 3” at other points in between. As you requested, the sample will be returned to you.
