I haven't seen anyone on here fawn over the Carlisle 5216 cup for a while and I think perhaps that's where we have gone astray as a community

literally have a website bookmarked where i could buy a bunch of these with a custom logo printed on them. some day when i have more money than sense, i'll have a bunch printed with my own logo on them.

Ikrr!!! Even the similar cups at the local Asian buffet i like has a different texture (and a different color which might explain it dye and plastic do weird shit when they interact just look at brown plastic and its brittleness)

They unfortunately like to make limited runs of different colours so idk how easy it'll be lol, but maybe they keep the classic in stock

Would you believe it was nothing to do with the sound of drinking a lot of something and is actually just from an offhand comment someone made about inventing a new colour, gurple? This podcast has the silliest lore.

Someone else posted it alongside the FuckFace merch and I remembered that! It's been a looooooong time since I listened tho, pre-RT shutdown bare minimum, but I kinda fell off listening to pods at all so had no idea there were merch cups now lmao

Pure childhood joy was the Root beer in these crystal cups, the Alfredo Pizza, Breadsticks, and for dessert the brownies with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

Sorry, busy having a flashback to playing Star Castle on a table arcade machine at Pizza Hut while "Tom Sawyer" by Rush blasts on the jukebox. I will turn to dust after this flashback is over, and I am okay with that.

you think YOU'RE suffering, buster... my best friend in 8th grade had his 14th birthday party at HIS UNCLE'S PIZZA ARCADE, and they had these glasses and BLACK TIGER ON FREE PLAY... and i got to go once and never saw the place again can you imagine living with a burden like that 😭😭😭

I ended up with some of the “kids” version of these in a box of free stuff recently and they’re 10000% my favorite cup. Sturdy, visually appealing, just the right size, and feel good in the hand. I’d love to get some full-sized ones

I was just looking at the websites to get these on to get the pic and they come in a bunch of sizes, I was surprised! I have only ever seen the 16 oz ones

Me too! When I opened the box of glassware and cups I SQUEALED. My husband and I acted like we had unearthed the lost treasure of Eldorado, just turning it around and around and marveling at its size and color. They’re the PERFECT size for juice or milk to go with a pastry, which is how we do

Somewhere in these replies someone posted a link to buy em but if you Google the name you can get even more links lol, there's dozens

The way I just had war flashbacks of Round Table pizza, damn good memories of getting to go one a month to munch pizza and salad (that was mostly banana peppers and bacon bits) and playing a shit load of an Aliens arcade shooter.

Im not really living if i don't occasionally enjoy a fountain cola that is being slowly diluted by its ice cubes melting out of one of these.

nah they're not wrong it was just in a lotta cool places :) some folks have mentioned having brown ones in the Chinese restaurants too 🫡

I saw one in the new Lindsay Ellis video and I genuinely popped off. She called it "a tiny, school-lunch-cafeteria cup", though, so make of that what you will.

Which I just found out like this year that is a national chain. I had only even seen one, the one I used to go to when I was a kid. Then I went to Florida on vacation and saw like 3 of them XD

and crushed ice. I have in fact put a few friends onto restaurant supply sites so they could order those cups and they have all been thrilled to get them.

any friend who’s had to stock a first kitchen, I’ve pointed them there. Get the GOOD cookie sheets! And the cheap bread knives! And durable storage solutions.
