        Or, I mean, simply having disposable cups. Disposable cups are quite common in developing nations as well - just look on the side of any highway. The only “American” thing about it is the ubiquity of the red color, which is simply a cultural phenomenon

    It’s a challenge to find a case where it really is a Hollywood thing.
