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)

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

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

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

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.
