Lines On Solo Cups

Red solo cups are likely to bring back a whole lot of memories for a lot of people considering they are easily an icon for alcoholic beverages and drunken parties, particularly college days, that tend to lack even an ounce of class! However, if you have ever actually inspected a solo cup, you may be wondering if there is a purpose for the horizontal lines. The ridges are actually there to help you pour your alcoholic drinks with ease and precision! The first line indicates either one ounce or one-shot; even more reason why these red cups are officially the icon of college parties!

Padlock Holes

Padlocks do not have holes at the bottom because manufacturers are hoping to spare materials, and they are also not the result of any kind of error. Contrary to what you may believe these little holes are supposed to be there for quite an important reason; to let water out. As padlocks are usually used outside, they need to be able to withstand any weather conditions, including rain. Without these little holes, your lock may rust significantly faster and quickly become useless.
