A lid and resealable tab for a drinking cup is shown. The lid has an outer
edge having a generally circular periphery and a top surface for defining
a drinking opening having a predetermined shape and dimension. The lid
includes an annular sidewall operatively connected to and extending
circumferentially or axially from the lid and in a first direction
relative to the top surface. An annular mounting member is formed on the
sidewall lid for sealingly engaging the lip of a drinking cup. A
resealable tab having a relatively thin, flexible substrate having a
first surface and second surface, the substrate having a shape and
dimension which is configured to cover the drinking opening with either
one of the first surface and second surface is shown. The resealable tab
includes a food grade adhesive. In the preferred embodiment, the adhesive
is located on one of the first surface and second surface to enable one
of the first surface and second surface to be located over the drinking
opening and to have the adhesive form a sealing relationship between the
top surface and one of the first and second second surface.
