Sippy cup

Sippy cup

The sippy cup is a spill-proof drinking cup designed for toddlers. It works by way of surface tension that prevents liquid from being spilled even when the cup is upended.

The sippy cup was invented by Richard Belanger, who licensed the design to Playtex. [ [http://inventors.about.com/b/a/091226.htm Who Invented the Sippy Cup? ] ]
