cup

 

  • The idea that a certain beer should be served in a cup of a certain shape may have been promulgated more for marketing purposes, but there very well may be some basis in fact
    behind it.

  • [7] In ancient Mesopotamia, cups were made for a variety of purposes, possibly including the transportation and drinking of alcoholic beverages.

  • The rhyton was one cup used for libations.

  • Although mainly used for drinking, it also can be used to store solids for pouring (e.g., sugar, flour, grains, salt).

  • Child development [edit] Drinking from a cup is a significant step on a baby’s path to becoming a toddler; it is recommended that children switch from bottles to cups between
    six months and one year of age.

  • Sports [edit] Many trophies take the form of a cup, often a loving cup.

  • [26] Wine glasses also come in different shapes, depending on the color and style of wine that is intended to be served in them.

  • History Cups have almost certainly been used since before recorded history, and indeed, they have been found at archeological sites throughout the world.

  • Any transparent cup, regardless of actual composition, is called a “glass”; therefore, while a cup made of paper is a “paper cup”, a transparent one for drinking shots is
    called a “shot glass”, instead.

  • [8] There is evidence that the Roman Empire used cups throughout Europe, with notable examples including silver cups in Wales and a color-changing glass cup in ancient Thrace.

  • The shape or image of a cup appears in various places in human cultures.

  • [20][21] Cards that feature cups are often associated with love, relationships, fears, and desires.

  • [20][22] Various cups have been designed so that drinking out of them without spilling is a challenge.

  • Cuisine [edit] The measuring cup, an adaptation of a simple cup, is a standard tool in cooking that has been in use at least as far back as Roman times.

  • For example, a corporation might distribute cups with their logo at a trade show, or a city might hand out cups with slogans promoting recycling.

  • [19] Games [edit] In Tarot divination, the suit of cups is associated with the element of water and is regarded as symbolizing emotion, intuition, and the soul.

  • [5][6] The word “cup” is also used as a unit of capacity: the capacity of a “typical” cup, varying slightly from place to place.
