Family events with a sharpie so everyone knows which drink is theirs
Why would this be hard to believe
Edit: oops my privilege is showing, mb yall
"Do Americans rally have McDonald's everywhere or is that a Hollywood thing?"
"Is Starbucks really that popular or is that a Hollywood thing?"
Do Americans really eat hamburgers or is that a Holllywood thing?"
Why does "privelege" have to do with it?
It's just simple ignorance on your part - you didn't realize what's commonplace to you isn't commonplace to someone outside the US, nothing more.
I see this question all the time. It's just a disposable cup, why is the rest of the world so obsessed with it?
Because it is very distinctive, and it’s ubiquitous in American media to the point where it seems no other disposable cup exists over there.
Yeah. There are a bunch of different brands that make them, and they come in a lot more colors than red, but that type of disposable plastic cup has been pretty ubiquitous since the 1990s. There are also clear plastic disposable cups that are just as common, but you tend to see those at more adult functions because they give off less of a high school kegger/kids birthday party vibe.
I think Hollywood uses the red ones so much because it's an easy visual shorthand to express to the viewer exactly what kind of party is going on. They're also are opaque, so they can just hand everyone an empty cup and not have to worry about liquid levels and visual continuity, which probably makes things a lot easier on set.
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
Most commonly kegs when growing up for a large scale. Usually you pay $5 for a cup all you can drink.
On a smaller scale, picnics I guess? Idk I don't really go to ragers these days and the amount of gusts to parties Ingo to don't exceed the amount of cups somebody has.
Yes. Red Solo cups. Solo makes large reinforced plastic cups that are cheap and disposable, yet very sturdy. These aren't your grandma's flimsy paper cups.
We don't use them for fancy dinner parties (well, most of us) but they're great for backyard barbecues, college parties, etc.
