I had no idea what it was until I clicked on the story and saw one. I have around two thirds of a bag full of them and one is rolling around on the floor of my car on the passenger side.

Article didnt mention this man’s contribution to sports/games. Beer pong would not exist but for his cup.

Proceed to party!

If only he had thought of the blue solo cup, and the white one, he could have really made a killing.

This was rather brilliant ;)

My little one is this: If Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher (who did have an affair) instead got married the headline could’ve been they committed Harry-Carrie.

Ok. I’m done.

Rip to inventor of red Solo cup. Cool idea.

A friend was driving in the desert, dirt roads.

BLM (Bureau Land Mgt) pulled him over. “What are you drinking?” He had a red solo cup.

‘I am spitting my chew in this.’

He was able to drive away.

Many levels of Fed oppression on this incident.
