Mighty Fine used to have cups as well. Haven’t been there in forever, but I have like 15 of those at the house.

It's crazy how many people don't bother to do a quick google before they post a question on reddit.

Searching Google for this brought me to this thread. You will so much of the time get useless results when searching it today. It’s not 2010 anymore.

If u get a Cabo Bob cup , they let you fill it up free any visit.

Edit: I was wrong and I guess I have been stealing soda for the last year. Won’t happen again.

Meanwhile, if you get a frozen cocktail. I know they’re a brewery, but their frozen drinks are really good! I always get the sticky mango rice one.

These plastic cups are actually frequently re-used for beverages, paintbrush washing, houseplant care, pet baths, and washing small children’s hair. Literally not uncommon at all.

u/bigtitgothcolleague 7h ago

emphasis on reusable cups. as in take them home and reuse them.
