Solo says it's not by design, but someone tested them, and is does actually give you a pretty good estimate if you're free-pouring and care about proper serving sizes (which, if you're drinking wine and liquor out of a plastic cup, you probably don't).
If it's not by design, but actually works, I'd say that qualifies it as a valid "hack"...
Also, Solo has redesigned their cups recently and the new ones don't have the lines at all.

Maybe that's his popcorn eating hoody, in which case, I don't see how it's better than just going to Walmart and buying a bowl. Also, since that appears to be a workplace, it's most likely microwave popcorn, so just eat it out of the bag. There's plenty of room on the desk to his left.

Who gives a crap about measurements? You're not baking with them. Fill the cup with beer, whatever you want with wine and pour for five seconds with hard liquor.

I'm agreeing with WP.
Now would be a good time to anticipate the 3rd antichrist...

Most of these are dumb or not all that useful to anyone who eats actual food, but the trick of slicing small items between two tupperware lids is awesome. I recommend it.

Why would they do that?
That "hack", even if Solo had no intention of doing it, seems like they type of free word of mouth marketing most companies are dying to get.

I didn't even know about the lines until I read this thread. Was it really that big of a deal out there? The solo cups costco sells aren't even red...they're green and yellow and translucent.
^ Of course, by repeating the internet meme in the pic they manage to subversively re-emphasize it rather than distance themselves from it. But I'm sure the marketing guys didn't think of that...
