I used these for my seedlings. I was going to purchase plastic single use flower pots. I saw these and got these instead. I used them in a completely different way but it worked for me and my needs. I didn't want to buy plastic cups or pots. These were a better alternative. We have enough plastic and micro plastics.We loved this item for our daughters grad party. Perfect for cold beverages and also for hot coffee. Far better for the environment than plastic or styrofoam! Would definitely recommend.Like the simple design. Nothing flashy. Works great on cold beverages but I found I had to hold the top of the cup for hot beverages such as coffee. Should have bought protective sleeve to go with it but didn’t want the extra expense.I had to return these. They make your drinks taste like a paper bag. We don’t want to drink out of anything that ads taste to our drink.May be good to plant seedling in tho, but too expensive for that.Cups were sturdy and as exactly as described. Perfect for a 300 guest rustic wedding reception.Okay these cups are just a smidgen hard to pull a part which is a bit frustrating every time I want a cup but the color is right and that was what was important to me. They are very sturdy and I can use one of these cups many many times before I have to recycle it. I'm happy I bought these I'll buy them again.These are great for a discrete, simple, recyclable cup.Several of the cups had the bottoms soak through when using to hold hot coffee or tea.
