Abstract
Beverage bottle tops having interactive elements or performing interactive actions are disclosed. The beverage bottle tops are capable of conveying liquid from the bottle to a person. The beverage bottle tops include interactive elements, structures, or acts, which result from activation thereof. For example, the interactive elements, structures, or acts include, but are not limited to, members moving on the bottle top, lights illuminating on the bottle top, sounds emanating from the bottle top, or squirting liquid from the bottle top. The interactive bottle tops can be activated manually, electrically, or magnetically. In addition, the interactive bottle tops can be activated by squeezing a body on the bottle top, by operating a trigger on the bottle top, by changes in environmental light or sound, or by drinking liquid through the bottle top.
