always seen it in plastic cups.. not styrofoam cups.. why is this/????
I think that it's because the person throwing the party has spent so much money on the alcohol that they have to cut costs on the cups. When you think about it, plastic cups cost less, and come in bigger amounts. Also, Styrofoam is not good for the environment, and when you have a party you are usually outside around a fire, correct? Well, burnt Styrofoam not only smells bad, but it's bad for you to inhale and for the environment. So, next time you're at a party and the person has plastic cups, think about how you're having fun, and not killing our planet at the same time.
Styrofoam is supposed to be bad for the environment because it doesn't break down in the waste... Now most plastic cups a recyclable=good for the environment :) Plus they come in better sizes colors;)
I think it depends on who's throwing the party. I think plastic is better than styrofoam because styrofoam is easier to crush/break, and also to tear into little pieces and make a mess.
One reason is probably the fact that plastic is usually clear. You can't see the pretty drink through the styrofoam. Styrofoam is usually used for hot drinks, too.
Plastic is harder to break than styrofoam. You get sloshed at a party and your plastic cup is less likely to break when you fall and squish it. See you face down on the sidewalk this weekend! : )
