Boomers Saving Fast Food Cups

All of my cups are stadium souvenir sodas

Only us Amerishits do this. Fast food is part of our culture.

Fuck no

My wife and I save our cups from some places like Newks, McAlisters, etc because they're large, plastic, and disposable. They work great for making large mixed drinks when our daughter is at her grandparents. We use them for bathing her since she doesn't need the baby bathtub anymore, for washing the dogs, etc. We don't keep them for long. Plus, we can use them to drink out of instead of dirtying up our decent dishes and glasses.

Can I purchase the one with the token nigger on it? Has to be rare, what fucking nog was watching Lassie and Mr ed reruns?

like it or not most people grow up to be just like their parents

Can someone just nuke us please?

I always save the extra napkins and plastic cutlery. It's a fun novelty.

Things only boomers do:
>point key fob at car, then push button to lock
>incredibly proud over how hot the water is when they wash dishes
>also smug when they handle the hot plate being set down at a restaurant

what else have you noticed?

They only saved the styrofoam ones

>Here's your inheritance, user.

I saved a promo cup from a fast food place that is made of (relatively) non-degradable plastic
am I a 30 year old boomer now?

I grew up using those and the plastic cool whip containers because my parents were smart enough to not give kids glass or porcelain.

Couponing.

if the subject matter becomes popular they become valuable
my dad sold a set of glass batman forever cups that came from mcdonalds in 1995 on ebay for 7k when dark knight rises came out

Fuck off, my jurassic park and batman returns cups were comfy af when I was growing up

Oh fuck, I still have a set of those.

I had a set of those but for the flintstones movie

be ready
you know they'll make another movie and the bean milk boys will be all over Ebay digging for that shit
those are already valuable to a Hannah Barbera collector and if any thing new happens with any of their trademarks they could go up

I’m a relatively new collector when it comes to retro video games. People have their tastes, but I will never understand why boomers collect useless junk like cups. They’re cheap pieces of plastic that virtually every McDonalds sold for less than a dollar. They’re mass produced and aren’t valuable collectors items at all. They’re just hoarding pieces of silverware.

I will be, I've had them wrapped and boxed for the past 12 years.

They’re a daily reminder of the good old days before they became diabetic.

maybe they used those cups with you as a family and it remind them of times when you weren't such a little shit.

Are these thing even from the boomer era? Looks more like some gen x shit

boomer means anytime before 2000 now,

They’re meant to be thrown out, they’re no different from plastic cups you can get at a fast food restaurant. The only difference is that they have some cartoon character on them.

Yeah but usually my mom kept them for when she didn't want normal cups to be used. Like when my dad and I would work on cars or working outside in the garden.

God dammit I still have all of those in a box somewhere. Are there retards on eBay who collect this shit?

All our drinking glasses were Nutella jars.

I'm gen x and I have an entire set of McDonalds cups from the 1992 US Olympic basketball "Dream Team"

My dad used to save cups from football games. He would take a cooler in (with beers in the bottom), give me money to buy a coke which came in a cup that was sturdier than what they use these days (similar to pic related), and then would pour his beers into it after I drank the coke. After taking it home, he'd keep them.

Oh user, wow. You have no idea. I paid for my wife's ring by buying pokemon cards in bulk from NEETs on Reddit and flipping common 10 packs on Amazon. Don't even like Pokemon, just found a hustle. People buy anything.

I have the mammoth tusk one and have been drinking out of it steady for over 20 years.

>mom comes to visit for a whole month
>she saves plastic disposable cups like these, washes them and puts them away
>I know nothing about this
>she finally leaves
>open pantry to stock cereal, sugar, water, soda, etc to the shelves
>find these cups stashed away, along with deli meat plastic containers

I threw all of that shit out, she knows I despise plastic containers and only use glass ones. I asked her why she did this and instead got mad I wouldn’t keep this in my house. Wtf

Holy shit

>they don't have the Disney glasses from Burger King

Your dad was a thief user. He stole from that stadium by sneaking drinks.

Those were usually thicker plastic compared to the usual cup a fast food place would give. If it’s durable enough to re-use why not? This is why you don’t own a house user.

>only $0.89
Now they'd be like $5 each

He didn't give a fuck. These were college football games and they didn't sell beer.

right in the feels...

I still have one of these from taco bell in 1998

Top kek.

> Stay in a motel, steal coffee and tea sachets
> 'user, we found this toy car in the park today, give it a wash, it will be a good toy for our grandson'. eeewwww looks like a dog's been chewing on it
> yesterday's bread at the supermarket marked down to 49c a loaf, buy 5 loaves stuff them in the freezer
> post full holiday itinerary on their fb, showing dates they will be out of the house. ticket includes their name and passport numbers, nothing is blacked out.

I remember that
Sadly lost it and the car when wagie fell asleep and just drove through a line of cars at a stoplight

This. Boomers have no idea how the Internet works so they don't know that photo is visible to everyone.

They also own houses. So....maybe they're on to something.

That’s over 500% profit. Better then the sp500

Yea though i was born in 1999, my mother is a generation X (1978) and my dad a boomer (1953).

This...DEFINITELY a boomerism. Then again, better to reuse then just throw away like boomers typically do.

Boomers love Costco and Sam's Club.

>user look at all of the almonds I got for only $10!

Also
> read the newspaper and watch the 6 o'clock news. Muttering shaking their head and talking to themselves 'oh no, that's terrible' 'well they shouldn't be having so many kids then' 'they all need to be disciplined, never happened when I was younger'

And my parents got my kid a WallE plastic plates and cups set. Oh shit thank you, it's probably Chinese made and leeching toxins but the thoughts lovely. Haven't thrown it out though, sometimes put it out when they come visit. Not sure why.

I had a friend who gave me guff because she saw me make a glass of what she called "Dad's cheap ass lemonade"
Recipe: while sitting at table with others order water with lemon slices for everyone. Take everyone's lemons and squeeze them into your water. Add free sugar packets.

I clean glass peanut butter jars and use them for drinking glasses, toothbrush holders, etc.

Millennials unironically love doing this at In-N-Out and proclaim it to be a 'secret menu' item. They're utterly retarded.

Honestly, it's something that niggers do.

Haha I still use mine to hold my remotes

How did your dad get a wife 25 years younger than him

Yeah there's something for being frugal. But come on my parents bought their house for $47,500 in 1988. Cheapest half way decent home in my town is $450k- and it's a dump next to a night shelter.

No idea. When I bought my house a couple years ago, my parents brought me some “collectible” 7-11 slurpee cups from Star Wars episode 3 and spider man 2

The problem with jars like that is they;re not thick enough and the ice melts so quick

Grandparents have these. They're nice cups.

Dude that's probably worth a lot of money already.

Listen up you dumb fucking childless faggot and listen up good... They save them because they love your stupid, juvenile, faggot ass. They save them because they are a memento of the good times when you were a nice little kid and not an insufferable little faggot. They save them because of how excited you were to get a gay cup from the gay thing that you liked as a little kid. It's not because they fucking drink wine and beer out of it when you're tucked into bed in your pajamas. You cretinous little shit.

Everyone should be shopping there. Why wouldn't you? You can bulk buy for far cheaper, cutting down on costs and times you have to go to the store.

Gas yourself you nigger loving faggot.

My parents still have a few of those at their house. They've been through the dishwasher a few million times since 1994 though so they look like shit now

The day will come. They're going to save the onions sauce packets from their family sushi orders. They're going to put unused nugget sauces in the fridge. They're going to have those gay cups cluttering their cupboards and for whatever fucking reason, when their kids leave the house, they will still have their toys.

They'll get it some day. Just not today, because you're dealing with a bunch of ignorant teenagers, my dude.

I was 14 and basketball was still cool

True, but I'm cheap.

When my parents die or whatever, I'm going to eBay all that shit. No way am I keeping it and filling a house full of random clutter. That's what poor people do.

I'm not sure. I shop there but sometimes I wonder if it's worth the membership. I really just buy detergent, toilet paper, cheese, and monster energy drink there. A lot of their stuff isn't a good deal.

My mom saves stupid shit like that as well. But it's because she grew up dirt poor and she has qualms about throwing things away. She's an entry-level hoarder.

this. i know for a fact my boomer parents still have jurassic park and batman cups at their house that get used regularly.

of all the things to complain about, boomers keeping cups seems pretty dumb

Which one do you shop at? Costco is absolutely a better deal on most things you can buy. Moreover, they don't treat their employees like chattel which is an added bonus.

user, you have to get her to stop that shit now. It doesn't improve over time and some day you will get stuck throwing out all of that shit from her basement. Ask me how I know.

>save mustard packets
>use frenchies
>run out of mustard
>someone threw out all my unused packets
every, fucking, time!

I drink out of those glass Shrek cups that McDonald's sold when the movies came out

Boomers were the parents during that time. Gen X were the crack smoking degenerate teenagers and young adults. Millennials were the kids.

Sam's. Costco is too far a drive. But the issue really is that buying bulk as a single man is a dubious proposition

The cups you posted are meant to be saved, as are the cups you're describing.

I've never been to costco but the Sams by me has great pizza.
It's 2 slices and a drink for $2.99.

Hahahaha don’t be stupid user, mexicans will save any type of disposable container to reuse as tupperware. Did you really think the beans in the yogurt container thing was just a meme?

I like a hearty cup like that
I like lots of ice for my drinks.
Normal glasses with a good amount
of ice and you cant even fit one can of soda
Yeah, I do keep napkins in my glove box too. because you never know motherfucker

A lot of boomers were raised by people that lived through the depression. I grew up with my grandma. She was born in 1912. We didn't throw out anything that could be repurposed. Period. The further you get away from the greatest generation, the more wasteful you become.

Your mother in law would have gotten a switch to the back if she didn't engage in those behaviors.
