She passed on Dec 28 and I had to clean up all her crap so I don't have to pay storage. Had lots of friends help move things over to the 2 apts. The apt where she lived is a mess as you can tell she was a hoarder. Her place is worse than this.

That is called "glacial milk" and as the name suggests it is water coming from glaciers with all of that ground up mineral content suspended. Nightmare for folks like me who filter water from natural water sources to drink in the course of backpacking and mountaineering, it gunks up your filter in no time.

Why would anybody drinking out of plastic cups care about how much the lines are indicating.

when trying to get drunk

if it's full , you drink it,
if it's empty, you fill it up or get a new one that is already filled

For drink mixing, perhaps? e.g. mixing a margarita.

Seriously, anybody who mixes margaritas with a plastic cup.
Is not going to be winning any prizes.
Nor is he fooling anybody about his chances for a career in bartending

Rinspeed.
Swiss firm that makes crazy vehicles, one more innovative than the other. Serious inventor/design. Not your average backyard mechanic.
They like Porsches as a base.

Do you like my hat? I do not like that hat!

This fire foam is the nastiest stuff. All I can do is wait for it to cure, so I can cut it out and comb it. If I try to remove it now, I would be wearing it for weeks.

I’m not trying to get drunk, nor am I drinking out of a plastic cup.
The lack of consistency annoys me. There should be a line marking the one cup level.

The lines on these cups are less confusing. Fill it up, drink it
