Abstract
A device capable of joining, holding, and opening a pair of sealed containers with contents. Each container is attachable to one of a pair of container opening parts movable with respect to each other. While in the attaching position the containers are maintained in sealed condition and are held in this position with respect to each other. The containers can remain in this position indefinitely or the containers can be moved to a different position from the attaching position. During this movement between the two positions, each of the pair of container opening parts opens a container and forms a passageway almost equal to the area of the seals for the contents of the containers to flow into either container to mix the contents of both containers.
