Abstract
A beverage package having a blow molded plastic container of a single resin that is filled with a beverage product and sealed. The sealed container is wrapped in an oxygen barrier film to prevent oxygen from contacting the container and permeating through the container wall and thereby spoiling the beverage. The wrap is separable from the container before the beverage is consumed resulting in two separate, single material components for easy recycling. The molded container includes an upright side wall having a recessed groove sized to receive and store a telescoping straw for use in drinking the contents of the container.
