1. A container lid, comprising:
a container top defining a lid opening therethrough;
a closure coupled to the container top and rotatable about a closure rotation axis between a closed closure position in which the lid opening is closed and an open closure position in which the lid opening is open, the closure having a proximal end positioned at the closure rotation axis and a distal end positioned away from the closure rotation axis;
a push button movably coupled to the closure, the push button movable between a first push button position and a second push button position,
wherein, in the first push button position, a latch retains the closure in the closed closure position when the closure is in the closed closure position,
wherein, in the second push button position, the closure is not retained in the closed closure position,
wherein when the push button moves from the first push button position to the second push button position, the latch releases the closure and the closure automatically rotates from the closed closure position to the open closure position, and
wherein the push button rotates together with and in the same direction as the closure when the closure rotates from the closed closure position to the open closure position.
