I don’t know about in the states but I’m Canadian and have seen red plastic cups at drinking parties. People play games with them, like flipcup and beer pong
Yes. My wife also puts Sharpies next to the stack of Solo cups so everyone at the party can write their name on their cup.
That is most definitely a well established thing in the US going back decades: I can’t count how many house parties I went to in college, birthday parties when I became a parent, etc. where they had red Solo cups. I would describe them as ubiquitous.
They’re called Solo Cups.
Solo is the brand that makes them. They make other colors too but red is by far most common
100%
Still call them “Solo cups,” though.
I got a pink one from some family friend for water while I was fixing her mini split. The red is better structurally for some reason cause the pink brook around the rolled top before I even got home.
Yeah, for me we have always got Costco Kirkland brand red cups which seem to be made by Chinet. 240 cups and used to be under $10 bucks was by far the best deal and the cups were just as good.
I only use
Tis designa cuppa ✨
Ah, the dentist cup
It’ll always be the Taco Bell water cup to me.
The peak of 90s design. Love me some jazz
I had the exact same shirt!!
Everyone did
I have a shirt and shorts with it lol they’re always a hit at the bar
I have a car near me painted like this. Can’t say I’m not jelly.
Coincidence, someone asked for a cutout decal for a gastank.
and provided the template
I really wish I could see the rest of the bike. Looks very cool.
Scrape that wax
Whiskey will destroy this cup in tens of minutes. I’ve done science on it.
Drink faster then
or skip the cup and chug the bottle instead.
Why would whiskey be in a cup for tens of minutes?
Toby Keith literally made an ode to the Red Solo Cup.
I remember being drunk, with a red solo cup, singing along to this song, at a frat… more than once.
Yes, its safe to say the red solo cup is an actual cultural phenomenon.
Well past the age or inclination for a kegger, but last time I wanted plastic cups for something, red Solo cups were the least expensive choice.
It was ok for my use but I tried to give a short stack to my kid for college and apparently they’re banned
Red cups are like yellow school buses. Both are real.
And largely used by children.
how else are they supposed to sneak booze?
They use cups? Do they put a nipple on it too?
only if they’re Irish.
And they all drink coffee from these cups…
This gets asked so much, I feel like I need to contribute something new to the conversation…
Those recyclable metal ones are awesome.
Not sure why this keeps getting asked, but yes. Solo cups (the original red cup) were incredibly cheap, held up decently, and were sold in large packs everywhere. They were so cheap that for a long time I don’t think there were even generic options. Now days most places have their own brand and they frequently make them red just because that is what people expect.
There a song about it.
silo but they can be blue or yellow as well now but red was almost the only thing available at one point. I hate them.
They’re regulation beer pong size, so we used a lot of them.
Yes, but sometimes they’re other colors.
