WHAT ARE THEY?

Plastic disposable cups from Tesco Value.

WHAT DO YOU USE THEM FOR?

They can be used for childrens parties or any time that you would rather use plastic glasses instead of breakable ones. You could buy them to drink from regularly in the home or to take on picnics with you.

WHAT I THINK

These cups are not very good and are too fragile for children to use with comfort. They split very easily and two in my pack were already split when I opened them to give the cups out. They feel very flimsy when they are full of liquid and squash when you are picking them up, that is not very good when you are giving them to children because it is automatic that they grip cups tight but if you do that with these the cups will sometimes break or the lip goes a funny shape to make drinking harder.

They only last for one drink and it is not worth washing them up and using them again because they seem like they are even weaker after they have been used one time. I like that the cups all stack inside each other because that makes storing them easier in the cupboard. The bottoms are a bit slippy so you have to be careful not to knock one when it's on the table with liquid in it or it will slide away and might tip over.

We only used about 5 cups for drinks and the rest of them I filled with sweets over Christmas so that I could give them out to my nieces and nephews and the children of my friends. They were good for this and held enough sweets to keep the children happy while the adults talked and relaxed. I think they would be very good for crafts as well and because they are only cheap that means children can use as many as they want without their craft sessions getting expensive.

ANYTHING ELSE

These plastic cups cost 55p for 25 cups and they can only be bought in Tesco.
