Abstract
A container for containing food and/or beverage ingredients is described. The container is of a type which may be supported in a cup holder while the ingredients inside are processed, such as by a rotating blade or other mechanism, and which is restrained against rotation which would otherwise be caused by the action of the rotating blade or other processing tool. In a preferred embodiment, a non-circular anti-rotation pattern is formed on the cup bottom for mating with a corresponding pattern on a cup holder.
