In 1975, a paper cup design, “Orange and Yellow Flowers,” was unleashed upon the world. While not as well-remembered as the trendy “Jazz” design, it would be a staple in homes and restaurants.
I’d completely forgotten about the joys of chewing around the rim of a waxed paper cup! Ballpark drinks were always served in those kinds of cups (usually with Pepsi or Coke branding) when I was a kid, and I looked forward to finishing my drink so I could chew the rim.
I remember these vividly as a child at the dentist, and I’m 41 now :) I love this article you wrote so much. I’m so glad it exists, along with the memory of the flowers 🌺

I loved orange Hi-C and I may have “accidentally” chewed a little wax
My only waxed taste preference was the big gulp from 7-11. The juice would seep through and it was nice to chew on them!
Nice! I did the same thing. It was especially nice with fruit-flavored sodas or Slurpees. But they had to sit for a while.

I chewed. My memory is how the top lip of wax paper would kind of uncurl if you weren't a chomper
