Ppl have been mentioning the plastic in the paper cups but I haven’t seen anyone mention that large cups used to all be Styrofoam. Some places all the cups were Styrofoam. And that was god awful for the environment. They were amazing though. Getting a giant sweet tea in a cup that never sweated was phenomenal. Shame they suck so bad.
I use a metal, glass lined, vacuum insulated cup. Awesome, doesn’t sweat, is reusable and recyclable. I’ve used it for about 8 years now, the 25 euros have been well spent.

I remember biting the rim of a Styrofoam cup and leaving imprints of my teeth
Paper cups used to be lined in wax. Plastic is technically unnecessary.
