Yes, giant adult sippy cups and kniting make the long hauls bearable...

THIS was a classic fact

I'm from the West Coast and have no idea about the North and South except for watching the same-named mini-series.

I only visited the West Coast (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Las Vegas in 1976, but not since then again. Astonished I was when my relatives in Texas when I arrived there did not ask me about Europe but about California. Two days in each city had made me into a "California-expert"

Let's not talk about what happens after truckers are done with their sippy cups...

All that talk about the giant cups though... I need some here!

Not for me, for hubby, he goes through a liter of tea at a go, would be nice to just pour it into a liter sized cup and immediately start a new liter brewing.

I have a giant mug of tea, it is a permanent attachment.

We have a great southern restaurant ( Hatties) in Saratoga Springs- right next to the bar where Bob Dylan started out.

Compare this to Swiss prices-and it has won awards

Here's the menu:

Just one quick question to Willy or Happywile BTW .When did the "Fruit of the Loom" underwear cam to the marked ? Keep em busy for a wileBTW ;I am also interested in the history of the "Waffle House"

There is apple juice and and the other apple juice

When another sister came to visit me from the UK, I had on my visor 3/4 length jeans, sneakers, massive sippy cup. rainjacket and bumbag round my waist. She almost collapsed, exclaimed " OH NO NO NO you are not going out with me like that" and ripped the visor and sippy cup off me. Then when I went to London, my brother told me that my attachment to the sippy cup full of tea was indicative of abnormal behaviour, that it embarrassed him. We made a deal, he would not smoke when outdoors if I did not carry my sippy cup.

I have an extensive collection of sippy cups, but Starbucks ones are my favourite.

Amogles! After you have read all the post in here ,you may change you mind ,and come to Canada instead And if you do pm me its much easier on you

Tea is healthy, keeps us young..

Now, hot or cold beverage? If cold, or just warm, then the biggest one I found here and use is good ol' sStarbux. Its great for studying or long drives.



I found it in Prague, but they should be selling it here, too, didn't see it in Geneva, though. It's not disposable, clear hard plastic, and the one I have is bisphenolA free (which is why I got Starbux one). I wouldn't put hot liquids in it. It wasn't so expensive, 600ml, I think it is. I know, not quite a liter.
