BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a disposable spoon with
condiment.
It is found that the condiment is conventionally
S received in a container so that it is necessary to take it
up by means of a spoon thereby causing much inconvenience
and rendering it difficult to keep the condiment sanitary.
Hence, it is proposed to load the condiment in a small
paper bag and so it is unneces~ary to spoon up the
condiment from a container. However, it is still
necessary to use a separate spoon to stir the condiment
into the drink. In other words, the spoon and condiment
must be prepared separately and furthermore the spoon has A
- to be washed after use thus causing much troubles.
Therefore, it is an ob~ect of the present invention
to provide a disposable spoon with condiment which may
obviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to the drawings and in particular to
FIG. 1 thereof, the disposable spoon with condiment
according to the present invention mainly comprises a
S tubular member 10 which is sealed at the top ll and a bowl
end 12 extending from the lower end. The tubular member 10
is made of non-toxic and heat-resistant material so as to
meet the safety and sanitary re~uirements for stirring hot
drinks.
Referring to FIG. 2, a condiment 20 such as sugar,
juice power, Coffemate, Coffemate with sugar, Coffemate with
coffee power, Coffemate with sugar and coffee power
,.,,,,,etc, i8 first loaded into the tubular member lO which
has a sealer 30 at the lower end for keeping the condiment
from leaking outside. Further, the sealer 30 is made of a

As illustrated, when in use, simply tear off the paper bag
40 and then put the disposable spoon with condiment into

spoon into the drink so as to mix the condiment with the
drink. After use, the disposble spoon may be disposed thus
obviating the trouble of washing and stowing.
FIG. 5 illustrates a second preferred embodiment of
the preset inventlon, wherein,the top 11 is provided with a
notch 111 for tearing and the sealer 30 may be made of the
same material as the tubular member 10 so that one may tear
of~ the top 11 of the tubular member 10 and pour the
condiment into the drink in a desired quantity and then stir
condiment into the drink with the bowl end 12.
FIG. 6 shows a third preferred embodiment of the
present invention, in which the top of the tubular member 10
i~ closed with a cap 13 so that one may remove the cap 13
