Those red cups (1 Viewer)

Has anyone noticed how in all those teeny americana shows when they have underage drinking parties they always drink beer from those red plastic cups...do normal people over there drink out of these cups as well???

You can buy them here too, they're just bigger plastic cups.

because americas are boring and repetative!!

I don't understand it either. It's like if you drink from a red cup then they want you to assume they're drinking alcohol, which is strange. Is it a rule you think, to only drink alcohol in red plastic cups?

but why is it always red? why can't they be blue...

they do ocasionally have blue ones in the movies! but yeah all they are are plastic cups but they hold more

Conventions of the teen pic genre, mebbe?

Yeah, there pretty common over there. I went there a few years back and those things are huge, they're like 5 times the size of the white plastic ones here.

You can get them in blue as well I think.

you can get a packet of them from woolies for 5 bucks, they hold a fair bit of liquid as well

When I went to America last year we had a "red cup" party

 

[scarybunny]

I went to a house party in the US in 06 and they did have the red cups.


but the cups had these panels on them where you scratch your name into it.
