We recently bought some Tesco plastic cups for the grand old price of 99p. For this, we got 100 plastic cups. Each cup is stacked one inside the other one to form a huge great "tree of cups" as our little lad calls them. They are all held together with plastic which is quite easy to get of once you get back home.

They are a decent size I personally feel, and each cup is about four inches high. They all have sort of long groove type things down them and a hard little rim right round the top edge.

They are good to use with either hot or cold liquids but if putting in hot I think you'd be better off using a few at once as the heat does penetrate through the plastic as it is quite a bit on the thin side. They are wider at the top and then taper down thinner towards the bottom. I personally like the little slightly thicker rim they have around the top as I feel this makes drinking from them much easier.

We use these for family days out such as picnic and barbeques when we invite friends, family and neighbours over to our house. Our son has also used two of them to make a pretend telehone, which he loves, and gave him hours of fun. He has also grown some of his little seeds in these and we have a few of them on our kitchen window sill.

They are designed just to be disposabale but we rinse ours out and reuse them several times and they are fine. Eventually the plastic will start to crack though, especially if you have been using them for hot liquids.

Fantastic price and recommended by us all.
