Large and In Charge

What we’ve got here are a couple big cups. Forty ounces each.

Plus, they’ve got straws. And when you have a cup with a straw, you drink more.

This can be bad with cocktails. You know what we’re talking about? You get a nice margarita or even an old-fashioned with one of those little cocktail stirring straws, and it’s just a little too easy to take down. So that, before you realize it, you’ve just drained your twelve-dollar drink in about six minutes.

Which means you’ve spent a dollar for every thirty seconds of enjoyment.

Does that even make sense? Not sure. Point is, in cases such as this, having a straw for easy sipping can result in trouble.

But when you’re talking about drinking water, it’s the opposite. The more you can enable mindless drinking, the better. Because in this case, mindless drinking means staying hydrated.

Look, can we be honest? We don’t really know what to say here. These are cups, people. They can keep cold stuff cold for up to twelve hours or hot stuff hot for up to six hours. And yeah, in 1995, this might blow some minds, but in 2025, it seems as though every drinking vessel is insulated as all hell.

So, let’s talk about something else.

Anyone have plans to go to a baseball game this year? Or have you done any grilling yet? Oh, hey, remember those hoses we sold earlier this week? That reminds us: how’s the garden coming along?

Gosh, it sure is nice to enjoy some time outside, isn’t it?

But even if you’re just sitting in the sun and taking in a day game or sitting next to the grill or gathering a few sticks in the yard, you eventually start to experience some hot-faced exhaustion.

Which means you probably could use some water.

And you know what you could drink that water out of?

One of these.

Look, they can’t all be fun and insightful, okay?

Buy some big cups. (And if you want something even bigger, check out what’s on offer over at SideDeal.)
