its a common thing for parties, not just for beer, but for birthday parties, barbeques, holding even solid food.
We use red Solo cups everywhere, not just at parties.
Yes
Naw. Not exclusively. They come in lots of colors now.
Red cups are like yellow school buses. Both are real.
And largely used by children.
how else are they supposed to sneak booze?
I have a few hundred in my bigger pantry
How many pantries do you have?
It’s America, most people have none, some have one or two, and a couple thousand people have 20+
Use them at home too. They coming all kinds of colors and patterns now, but yeah.
Ya. We use them all the time. They’re actually good and relatively inexpensive.
It’s not just America, they’re a go-to for cheap disposable cups - the type you’d buy for a party.
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.
This gets asked so much, I feel like I need to contribute something new to the conversation…
Those recyclable metal ones are awesome.
Yes, but not just parties. Parties using red cups are historically going to be drinking parties for younger people like “keggers.” Red cups are fairly ubiquitous for lots of events like picnics, cookouts, birthday events and the like.
I can’t say they’re used at all parties, but they’re pretty common.
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.
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
What are other countries doing? Is it just a ‘bring your own cup’ thing? Do y’all just have a hundred cups on hand for parties?
Plastic cups are not all that prevalent anymore in homes here in Europe for environmental reasons.
Paper cups are used for drinking parties. But if we want to be inviting to our guests we serve drinks in glasses. Glass can be quickly cleaned and reused so no need to have hundreds of them.
Who’s having parties with a couple hundred people? Is that like a wedding or something
I have enough cups in my house for the 40 people max at any party I’ve ever hosted
We pour the soda in our hands and try not to spill as we gesture during conversation 🤌
OMG the horror. ASL is my “drunk accent”.
I grew up around deaf family and we all learned sign language before we learned to talk. The more I drink, the more my hands start to sign along with me.
Heh, that’s cool.
We usually just limit the number of friends we invite to match the number of cups we own.
For example, I don’t own any cups.
Traditionally, one person sips from the bottle, then shares with the homies via French kiss. More hygienic that way.
I was really hoping for a beer bong.
But I guess Bros before Hose is true across the globe.
We use glasses that we clean afterwards rather than plastic that gets binned.
How do you play slapcup then?
If I knew what the fuck slapcup was I’d have an answer for you.
The fuck???
