Day 364

Some people may think of apple pie, baseball, and Starbucks when asked about symbols that represent America. And they would be right, although there is a symbol out there that I believe many times gets overlooked....

The Red Solo Cup.

That's right. It is a staple in almost every American get-together, from picnics to college keg parties. We have songs about them, games made specifically for them (beer pong), even entire competitions involving how fast you can set up and break down a stack of the plastic beverage holders. 

It's the perfect cup, really. Thick enough to hold up to all sorts of liquid, large enough to hold enough Natty Light from the keg to get a buzz after only one refill, yet small enough to fit in the cup holder of your vehicle. What more could you ask for?

How about a label that allows you to use your fingernail and scratch your name right into the side if the cup?

Genius.

 Gone are the days of wondering if that cup with the....questionable liquid in it is really yours. No more making sure you have a Sharpie available at your party for guests to write their names with. My husband came home with a bag of the reinvented containers today, and we were quite impressed and excited

Hey. It doesn't  take much at my age.

Tonight's picture celebrates the upgrade. Just when you think something can't get any better- poof! They come up with Double-stuffed Oreos, cheese-filled pizza crust, and Corona Light.
