THIS IS NOT A DRILL: those cups you loved as a kid? The ones in every pizzeria in the 90’s? They still exist and you can buy them

They’re Cambro Colorware Tumblers and they come in packs of 72 or 24, so you can buy some for your friends too

for purchasing in smaller amounts, behold: webstrauntstore

#bought a monitor arm from them on surplus once #crazy good deal at the time

Cambro makes alot of commercial-grade restaurant stuff that you can just buy

I have some giant containers that I keep my flour, sugar, rice, etc in. Super duper handy.

roy @corhocysen11/15/2023, 10:54 PM

this is unrelated to anything but

i saw they had a catalog in dutch, and it is very shoddily translated. i'm not even sure it's machine translation because i feel like machine translation would have done a better job. everything is very nonidiomatic and funny in a way that's hard to explain.

like it says "EERSTE INDUSTRIE" which is literally "FIRST INDUSTRY" — i assume it's a translation of "INDUSTRY FIRST" but idk how the words got swapped. (a more idiomatic translation would probably use the word "primeur" or something)

or stuff has a "gemakkelijk aan/uit deksel" which is an "easy on/off lid" but with on/off in the sense of like, turning a light switch on/off, or putting clothes on / taking them off. (on/off in the sense of a lid would be op/af)

seeing the red ones just fucking SENT ME wow

Tyler Robertson @tylerrhys11/15/2023, 9:16 PM

Right??? I can TASTE these pictures

🌊@wave11/15/2023, 11:22 PM

edit: this brand of Red Cup does have some pretty bad longevity reviews on the linked webstaurantstore, it's giving me pause. 🤔

edit 2: it's 6 bucks for a dozen 12oz ones so whatever lol

Tyler Robertson @tylerrhys11/15/2023, 11:35 PM

Ooo interesting!! I really want the amber color, and didn’t notice anything like that. Gonna pop into a local restaurant supply place next week and see if they have any in stock that I can get in smaller quantities

🌊@wave11/15/2023, 11:36 PM

mm! for reference here's an example of bad reviews on the 16oz red variety

Tyler Robertson @tylerrhys11/15/2023, 11:48 PM

Ah! That might be a different brand? Looks like it’s Choice, not Cambro (though maybe they’re related, I’m not sure)

🌊@wave11/15/2023, 11:57 PM

aha. good question.

update: the Cambro Colorware tumbler reviews on Amazon are very positive, so i think the webstaurantstore store ones are different and possibly sucky!

update 2: webstaurantstore also carries Cambro, and the reviews are way better. the one person who shared your post just linked the wrong brand.

update 3: webstaurantstore's cheapest shipping for my $22 order was $79. nooooope. damn

mattachine meow machine @spookybiscuits11/16/2023, 5:07 AM

webstaurant's shipping prices are really really ridiculous unless you have the $99 a month subscription. really great site if you use it regularly, but, sheesh. i once tried to buy a $7 bowl on there, $33 shipping lol

i think there's actually a couple of brands of this red cup, and if u get them from a proper restaurant supply, you get The Good Stuff. i have children/clumsy guests who frequently drop these and step on these and otherwise are Very harsh on them and they are thus far completely undamaged after a year. the real ones are indestructible

Holy damn

Holly Wednesday (Dr.)@doctorwednesday11/16/2023, 2:39 AM

I did not love those; they were always covered in grease, no matter how much they washed them

Hatsune Michael @DeCosterMakesThings11/16/2023, 6:27 AM

Oh I have one of the red ones, a friend of a friend stole a ton of them from the Pizza Hut he worked at and they've just sort of made their way into the possession of every member of that extended friend group. I don't drink soda often but if I do I drink it out of that cup and it tastes like it does at a birthday party when you're ten years old.

Tyler Robertson @tylerrhys11/15/2023, 9:32 PM

Good shout!! I’m trying to find a similar solution here in the UK — their international shipping is about $40 😅 but that’s getting harder to resist lol

PinballsWizard @pinball11/15/2023, 9:48 PM

i wish you luck in finding somewhere that'll sell them at a reasonable price

also i suspect everyone i'm buying gifts for this holiday is getting commercial grade kitchen supplies |3

@phantom-firefly11/15/2023, 10:23 PM

they taste like root beer to me

laughing my ass off as I know someone who is a dev at webstaurantstore dot com and the day he took that job, the first thing I told him was, "wow what an awful name."

Dergs @verydragons11/16/2023, 4:16 AM

Incredible!!

Misty @dog11/16/2023, 5:18 AM

It really is a small world

Bezier @ComplexBezier11/16/2023, 7:35 PM

I also know someone who works for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow this is so crazy what a small world

Owen Nelson @onelson11/16/2023, 7:59 PM

Wow, what the hell. Does your person have a big-name celebrity namesake? Do we know the same person there?

Bezier @ComplexBezier11/20/2023, 8:11 PM

nah the person I know is 1. my boyfriend, lol, and 2. works in IT, not as a dev. but there's a good chance he knows the person you know! or at least knows someone who knows the person you know.
