Any OSU alumnus will attest to a few certain truths that only we fully understand. Not the east of these is the awesome utility of the "Joe's cup."
These noble, 16 ounce, plastic vessels begin life transporting beer, cola or iced tea to the parched lips of young Cowboys. But much like their utilitarian cousins, duct tape and baling wire, they find the journey has only begun. Most Joe's cup find work as tupperware, pen holders, Christmas tree decorations, and so much more.
My personal collection peaked at around 75 cups several years ago. Even today, having pared things down to accomidate shelf space for my wife, I retain an active rotation of 24 cups. These qualify as "company quality" in our home.
And still I am amazed. I thought I had found every reasonable use for a Joe's cup, short of inter-planetary travel...
And then Tucker taught me a new one. A Joe's cup for a bottle warmer. BRILLIANT! All hail the Joe's cup.

The Joe's cup also performed this function at our house. FYI - A Joe's cup, filled to the line, is 16 oz.
