    How many pantries do you have?

      More than I should, even for the US.

      We almost never eat out, I don’t generally use box mixes, most dry stuff from scratch. So I do a lot of bulk raw ingredients (which is cheaper).

      I have a lazy susan by the range that has small containers of spices, sauces and liquids for use while cooking

      I have a closet in the kitchen that holds snacks, bread, potatoes pasta cereal

      Those two aren’t a given, but are also aren’t unusual in a single family home.

      Then I have one that’s the size of a small walk-in closet a couple of rooms over that has jarred/canned goods, cake mixes (my one box mix exclusion), ramen, bulk dry goods. I only go grocery shopping once every couple of weeks. If something is cheaper in bulk and lasts, I’ll buy it in bulk.

      If something goes south with the government or the next covid, we’re food secure for a couple of months.

  Ya. We use them all the time. They’re actually good and relatively inexpensive.

  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.

  Yeah. How else are you supposed to play beer pong?

• Nemo@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Yes, but sometimes they’re other colors.

  Yes. My wife also puts Sharpies next to the stack of Solo cups so everyone at the party can write their name on their cup.

  Theyre also handy for mixing expoxy or paint.

  Only those that support communism. It’s a secret sign that I’ve now exposed because communism should be the end goal.

  Well past the age or inclination for a kegger, but last time I wanted plastic cups for something, red Solo cups were the least expensive choice.

  It was ok for my use but I tried to give a short stack to my kid for college and apparently they’re banned

  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

  They’re regulation beer pong size, so we used a lot of them.

  It’s not just America, they’re a go-to for cheap disposable cups - the type you’d buy for a party.

  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.

• gedaliyah@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Yeah. They’re cheap and easy to clean up.

  Costco sells them in Australia. So, I have to imagine there’s a modicum of truth?

  Yes. Flip Cup, Beer Pong, and Keg Stands are also real.

• GraniteM@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Not me. I use a red metal cup.

  Insulated. Screw on lid with water-tight seal and latch. May it be the last cup I ever buy.

  Even a once annoyingly popular country song just about the red solo cup.
