I think everywhere else in the world, the go-to plastic disposable cup is transparent, I don’t really see the red ones unless someone has gone out of their way to get them from an American importer for some reason (usually beer pong, funnily enough)

I mean I don’t really go to that many parties (shocker), but when my parents throw parties, usually they get whatever the cheapest disposable cups are.

One advantage of red cups is that you can more easily see names written on them with a Sharpie.

I think the clear cups are becoming more common in the US. They are far flmisier though. This isn’t a huge deal, but I guess it makes sense why solo cups are preferred for beer pong.

  Very occasionally transparent but yeah 99% of disposable cups you get here are white (and too small imo)

Those transparent cups are also significantly smaller than these lol

  How big are they? The ones I have in mind are usually either 500ml or a UK pint (568ml)
  
  I thought the solo cups were American pint size (473ml)

    I did some googling and the ones I have in mind, the non-american transparent plastic disposable cups, seem to be 200ml.

    Oh right, I think I basically only remember seeing that size in the UK in those cup dispensers on the side of those office water coolers, which now I think of it are something I’m also seeing less of these days.
