Do Americans actually use red plastic cups at parties or is that just a Hollywood trope?
Yes. Red Solo cups. Solo makes large reinforced plastic cups that are cheap and disposable, yet very sturdy. These aren’t your grandma’s flimsy paper cups.
We don’t use them for fancy dinner parties (well, most of us) but they’re great for backyard barbecues, college parties, etc.
Yeah. How else are you supposed to play beer pong?
Yes, but sometimes they’re other colors.

Short version: surprisingly, yes!
I don’t know about in the states but I’m Canadian and have seen red plastic cups at drinking parties. People play games with them, like flipcup and beer pong
Yes, it is a real thing we do.
Only those that support communism. It’s a secret sign that I’ve now exposed because communism should be the end goal.
There a song about it.
Red Solo cup I fill you up Let’s have a party!
They’re regulation beer pong size, so we used a lot of them.
silo but they can be blue or yellow as well now but red was almost the only thing available at one point. I hate them.
Yeah. They’re cheap and easy to clean up.
Even a once annoyingly popular country song just about the red solo cup.

Most commonly kegs when growing up for a large scale. Usually you pay $5 for a cup all you can drink.
On a smaller scale, picnics I guess? Idk I don’t really go to ragers these days and the amount of gusts to parties Ingo to don’t exceed the amount of cups somebody has.
