         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining that the second aperture has a larger size than the first aperture; and   introducing the first substance into the body portion of the dual cap container via the second aperture based on determining that the second aperture has a larger size than the first aperture.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein introducing the first substance into the body portion of the dual cap container via the second aperture comprises:
 using one of the body portion of the dual cap container, the second cap, a spoon, a container, a folded piece of paper, or a dispensing apparatus, to at least partially fill the body portion of the dual cap container with the first substance via the second aperture.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first aperture is defined by a nozzle and wherein dispensing the first substance from the body portion of the dual cap container via the first aperture comprises:
 inserting the nozzle into a mixing container; and   dispensing the first substance into the mixing container.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 mixing the first substance with a second substance contained in the mixing container.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the second substance contained in the mixing container comprises at least one of a liquid or a powder. 
     
     
         7 . A method comprising:
 utilizing a body portion of a dual cap container as a scoop to at least partially fill the body portion with a first substance via a first aperture located at a bottom end of the dual cap container; and   dispensing the first substance via a second aperture located at a top end of the dual cap container, the second aperture having a smaller size than the first aperture.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the body portion of the dual cap container is substantially cylindrical, and wherein the method further comprises:
 removing a first cap to expose the first aperture prior to utilizing the body portion of the dual cap container as the scoop; and   utilizing a second cap to seal the second aperture prior to utilizing the body portion of the dual cap container as the scoop.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 determining that the dual cap container is empty after dispensing of the first substance via the second aperture; and   inserting a cleaning implement through the first aperture for cleaning an internal surface of the body portion of the dual cap container.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 placing the dual cap container in a dishwashing machine in a washing arrangement that allows water to flow into the body portion via the first aperture and flow out via the second aperture.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the second aperture is defined by a nozzle and wherein dispensing the first substance from the body portion of the dual cap container via the second aperture comprises:
 inserting the nozzle into a mixing container; and   dispensing the first substance into the mixing container.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first substance is a powder, and wherein dispensing the first substance into the mixing container comprises:
 arranging the dual cap container to provide a funnel function by anchoring the nozzle to the mixing container; and   allowing the powder to flow out of the dual cap container into the mixing container via the second aperture.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the mixing container contains a liquid and wherein the method further comprises:
 agitating the mixing container to mix the powder with the liquid.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the powder is a protein powder and the liquid is one of a beverage or water. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 filling at least a portion of a body portion of a dual cap container by introducing a first substance via a first aperture located at a bottom end of the dual cap container;   transporting the dual cap container by use a of a carrier device attachable to the dual cap container; and   dispensing the first substance via a second aperture located at a top end of the dual cap container, the second aperture having a smaller size than the first aperture.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the carrier device is at least one of a carabiner, a chain, a lanyard, a rope, or a ring. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the second aperture is defined by a nozzle and wherein dispensing the first substance from the body portion of the dual cap container via the second aperture comprises:
 inserting the nozzle into a mixing container;   dispensing the first substance into the mixing container; and   mixing the first substance with a second substance contained in the mixing container.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the first substance is a powder and the second substance is a liquid. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein filling the at least the portion of the body portion of the dual cap container by introducing the first substance via the first aperture comprises:
 removing a cap to expose the bottom end of the dual cap container; and   using the body portion of the dual cap container as a scoop to at least partially fill the body portion of the dual cap container with the first substance.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first substance is a powder and wherein filling the at least the portion of the body portion of the dual cap container comprises:
