Red Solo Cup
The unofficial vessel of every house party since 1970/Everyday Objects
The Red Solo Cup is a 16-ounce disposable polystyrene cup that has transcended its humble origins to become a genuine cultural icon. Those lines on the side? They roughly correspond to 1 oz (liquor), 5 oz (wine), and 12 oz (beer), though the company insists this is coincidental. Over 60 billion Solo cups have been produced, and Toby Keith even wrote a country song about one.
