What do those lines on plastic Solo cups mean? Are they for measuring alcohol, measuring cooking ingredients, or just a design? Jersey Joe checks out why these cups have become so popular.

Solo cups were first introduced in 1936 in a paper version.  The company was sold to the Dart Corporation and now sells more than $2.4 billion annually.  What’s your favorite color, red or blue?  Red is the clear selling winner!

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

It’s another one of those drinks that was popular in the past and is making a comeback.  Craft cocktails are now all the rage, so more drinks like this will be added to bar menus.  It’s interesting how this became a fad in New York City, then went west, only to be mostly forgotten in the East.

I still think it would be better frozen, though…

And remember… drink responsibility!  Sorry kids, 21 and over – please!

Have you ever had a package on?  My grandparents used this phrase all the time.  For a good laugh – share the meaning with your friends!

THE 411

What: Having a package on

Meaning: being over-intoxicated or drunk

Origin: Great Britain

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

It’s another one of those old school phrases that I have learned over the years from my grandparents.  So, have YOU ever had a package on?  Next time, you’re out for drinks with friends… see who is the first to say YES!
