red solo cup

Beer pong vessel

A red Solo cup is the disposable plastic drinking cup ubiquitous at American parties, tailgates, and casual gatherings.

The brand name has become generic for any red plastic party cup.

Its opacity conveniently conceals contents, making it associated with underage drinking and beer pong: The backyard was littered with red Solo cups.
