sample cups

Tiny portion containers

Sample cups are small disposable containers used to offer customers a taste of food or beverage before purchase.

Common at grocery stores, ice cream shops, and food demonstrations, they hold just enough for a single sip or bite: The barista handed me a sample cup of the new cold brew.

Also used in medical settings for collecting specimens.
