solo cups

Red plastic tumblers

Solo cups are disposable plastic drinking cups, named after the Solo Cup Company brand that became synonymous with the product.

The red variety is iconic at American parties, especially beer pong and keg stands at college gatherings: The table was covered with red Solo cups.

The cups come in various colors and sizes, but "Solo cup" typically evokes the 16-ounce red party cup regardless of actual brand.
