What is it with USA and red cups?
 

Can someone explain to me, why do Americans ALWAYS drink alcohol out of these red cups? Is it the law or something? Every American movie I have ever seen, everyone is drinking out of these exact same cups, it is doing my head in.

Conspiracy.

They also come in blue.

You forgot to blur the face in the background

They're used a lot on Independence Day parties - hey, that's today - so they come in red, white, or blue.

It is used to represent the slaughter of all the innocent people the US has killed.

No. Only brits and canadians.

Plastic cups are deterrents for drunk, angry Americans.

And the Injuns.

And Native Americans.

That has become a staple thanks to the second best thing we are good at MARKETING. Someone said.. let's sell 100 cups for about $3 or w/e and let's see if people rather do that than wash dishes...

... then.. to keep expenses down... they invested in maybe 3 colors.. :) and red tends to be the most popular one.. it signifies a lot of things, sex.. energy.... power.. is one of our flag's colors..etc..


...damn im full of shit! :Graucho

also very hot overseas in china as well

Man, those fucking chinese copy cats, again pirating american goods. Don't they know we have copyrights on red cups? They are only for distribution to red blooded americans.

It's an American thang..you wouldn't understand:thumbsup

they're party cups...


Gray party cups wouldnt make much sense now would they?

It's because they look so pretty when they're filling up the gutters of our streets.

alcohol beverage in plastic cups? :eek7

Good ole BBQ Beer cups

too_lazy_to_do_dishes cups
or
too_cheap_to_use_glass cups

Americans like to break things when they're drunk. :)

yes most clubs in north america have plastic cups so when there is a fight people can't break each other's head with them
a lot of times they even put your beer inside a cup too

I was surpised too when I first came here because in europe that is pretty rare

Americans like to break things even when sober :winkwink: ESPECIALLY red beverage cups.

Except in China these are considered super expensive, multi-purpose, year lasting cups from America.

I heard the few cups that make it to Thailand are only used in Buddhist temple rituals.

Ok, I think I understand. Here in UK it's illegal for a pub or club to let you leave the premises with bottles/glass cos peeps like to smash them over other peeps heads.

Now i see where we get that attitude from..

Ever notice how people drink with their pinky pointing up?

I've caught myself doing that, I tried stopping but won't work :helpme
