Abstract

A food and drink container apparatus and method for forming the same is disclosed. The apparatus includes a carrier having a peripheral wall that defines a food and drinks space and that is movable between a collapsed configuration and at least two expanded configurations. A popout holder is located within and is used to modify the configuration of the food and drinks space by being selectively moved between a food tray configuration providing a flat space suitable for securing and holding food and a drink carrier configuration providing an upright support in place of the flat space suitable for securing and holding a drink container. The apparatus may also be configured to provide a combination drink carrier and food tray.
