Am I the only one who had a deep memory JUST resurrected?!! Haven't thought of this for 15 years, at best! But I can still feel the wax between my fingernails.

If you put a hot beverage in that cup, you would get wax on your hands.
Then, second degree burns shortly thereafter if you are still holding the dissolving cup

It's like the Saved By The Bell intro. I think you might be the animator who did Dr. Katz.

Something very soothing about the graphics. And now when you see that design you associate it with a good time. Concert, fair, sports game, amusement park, etc... Or, at least I do.

These were used overseas too. I'd totally buy a drink that comes in that again, packed with the idea of retro flavours. For those who want to dig deeper into this, here is an article I've come across

Found this just now when looking up the one above

What was it about drinking water out of those tiny cups that made it the most thirst quenching water I’ve ever tasted
Tetris_Pete@reddit
I agree... BUT... have you ever drank water from a paper cone?
RocktoberBlood@reddit
All the time on the golf course. In the summer I'll chug 5-6 of them at every water station on top of filling up my water bottle.

Omg forgot about the disposable water cone cups lol

Of course, available in the restrooms of the finest department stores.

That was the cup that you got from a bus station hot chocolate vending machine

That is the 80s equivalent of the teal design found on the 90s cups

Reminds me of the dentist.
They'd put these in the metal weighted cup for the auto-filler for us to sip and swish and then spit out.

I have strong memories associated with this cup from the early 80s. Much larger than this though. Superior to the 90s teal cup IMHO.
