I think everywhere else in the world, the go-to plastic disposable cup is transparent, I don’t really see the red ones unless someone has gone out of their way to get them from an American importer for some reason (usually beer pong, funnily enough)
I mean I don’t really go to that many parties (shocking news, Lemmy user doesn’t like parties, also the Sun is hot and water is wet), but when my parents throw parties, usually they get whatever the cheapest disposable cups are.
I think the clear cups are becoming more common in the US. They are far flmisier though. This isn’t a huge deal, but I guess it makes sense why solo cups are preferred for beer pong.
The ones I have in mind, the non-american transparent plastic disposable cups, most commonly seem to be 200ml.
You can probably get a 200ml (7oz) cup in the US pretty easily still but the most popular search results for “disposable plastic cup” in US sites seem to be 12-18 oz cups (340-511ml) where as the same search query in, say, German sites return the transparent 200ml cups very consistently.
Oh right, I think I basically only remember seeing that size in the UK in those cup dispensers on the side of those office water coolers, which now I think of it are something I’m also seeing less of these days.

One advantage of red cups is that you can more easily see names written on them with a Sharpie.

Those transparent cups are also significantly smaller than these lol
How big are they? The ones I have in mind are usually either 500ml or a UK pint (568ml)
I thought the solo cups were American pint size (473ml)

White power in the Netherlands
Very occasionally transparent but yeah 99% of disposable cups you get here are white (and too small imo)
