plastic cups
Disposable drinking vessels
Plastic cups are disposable drinking vessels made from lightweight plastic, typically used at parties, picnics, and casual gatherings where cleanup convenience matters more than presentation.
Red plastic cups have become iconic symbols of American house parties and college drinking culture: The kitchen counter was lined with plastic cups.
The term sometimes appears in discussions of environmental waste and single-use plastics.
