party cups

Solo at gatherings

Party cups are disposable drinking cups, typically plastic, used at casual gatherings and celebrations.

The classic red Solo cup is the archetypal party cup, ubiquitous at American college parties and backyard barbecues.

The term evokes informal settings where cleanup convenience matters more than presentation: We need to pick up some party cups for the cookout.
