RACETOP Paper Hot Cups 12oz 500 Pack

TERRIBLE. I've bought cups like this for years - at least, they looked almost exactly like this - so I could save some money by making coffee at home to take on my commute. NEVER have I ever had the same problems that I have with this particular brand of cups. I just never thought about it. I figured that, if you were going to sell cups like this, you'd actually test them to make sure that they worked, before selling them. NOPE. Either they were not tested, or this company simply does not care. Biggest issue first - if you don't drink your coffee in about fifteen minutes, the seem on the side - always right towards the bottom - starts to unglue and slowly come apart, leading to a small leak. Now,, I've learned to drink my coffee quicker, before this starts to happen - BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO? Other cups do not do this. It is NOT too much to ask that ANY cup like this does not start to unglue before you're done drinking. Second - not as much of a deal breaker, but still pretty pathetic, the plastic lids are very VERY delicate. The rim that clips around the edge of the cup is prone to cracking over the course of a SINGLE USE. Now, I know they're disposable; and even if the lid does crack, it's often not not a big deal. But sometimes, when the lid cracks (about every third of fourth cup), AND when that crack happens to form on the part of the rim that you would tilt downward to take a sip, some coffee dribbles out. Just a drop, but in that position, you know where the dribble usually ends up? On your shirt or your tie. IT'S INFURIATING. And quite franckly, it borders on criminal to sell cups to people that don't perform even the most basis function of a cup. This company is selling junk. The return window has closed, and now I am either faced with throwing them away away, or trying to learn how to drink coffee in some crazy unnatural way just to avoid coffee stains on my work shirts as I am rushing out to work. DISGRACEFUL.
