you better buy these. they are fantastic. genius. i only wish they were my idea. each cup comes equipped with a surface to scratch your name into. no more lost cups! no more lost sharpies! no more drinking someone else's water (which you thought was yours and then realized it wan't when you tasted sprite)!
and, on a slightly different note... (these two items are related because they are both paper products... yes, one is for your mouth and the other for your behind... let's not get confused.)
our good friends over at cottonelle, conducted a very important research study, dubbed, the great roll-over debate. 72% of american's polled roll the t.p. over. 28% roll the t.p. under. what are the over advantages? you have much more perforation control, a better viewing advantage and it allows for wall avoidance. huh. i'm so glad we all can be more efficient with our rolling, thanks to this study. glad to know i've been rolling right all these years. how do you roll?

Over and genius on the cups!
Those cups are great! We are always searching around for a sharpie at all our family gatherings! And I am an over person that just doesn't understand how anybody can be an under!
LOL....glad to know I have been rolling that way all my life! Good to know! LOL....
Ooooh genius idea on the cups! Putting those babies on my shopping list!

Summer :0)
Ohhh...I want those solo cups. WAY better than the regulars...having to write your name in marker and all. ;-)

Those cups are wonderful, plus they save you money because people don't use 3 cups each!
I roll over for sure, still working on my husband though....Grrrr!
Love your blog!
Those cups are fantastic! And I definitely roll over the top! Have a great weekend.
I totally roll over it really throws my OCD in a frenzy if I come across a roll that is under or "backward".
i've never heard of those cups!! how cool. i'm a roll over. for sure.
and i so wish i knew you in real life too, because i'd so hang out with you!! :0)
I'm an over the top roller! I love the scratch off name Solo cups, that is pure genius! Have a great weekend pretty!
I hope they didn't spend any money on that study...
Love the cups - genius!
I have used those cups in the past and I too wished I had thought of them. You go through half the cups then you normally would. Also interesting with the toiletpaper poll. I don't even pay attention to which way I roll, guess I will from now on.
When we first got married we used to FIGHT about how to roll the toilet. Not taht I really cared, I thought itwas stupid that my husband cared so much about how it rolled. I guess now i'm trained because we roll OVER.
Must have solo cups! I had no idea there was such a thing! On other cups when you write your name on it, even with Sharpie, it smudges and you can't read it. This idea was genious!

Those cups are ingenious! We're always hunting for a sharpie, and then you have my MIL who washes and reuses all of her disposable cups, so they have names on them from like ten birthday parties ago. Talk about confusion.
I don't care how my tp rolls, just so long as it's in arms reach. :P
I tried those solo cups before--very cool idea. And as for the TP rolling, I was talking to my roommate about that and neither of us had ever met someone who rolls under!
thank you for the excellent product review.
you don't get any rollbacks from this, do you?
:)
every Christmas, spring break, and summer
i have a houseful of kids plus their friends
stay at our mountain home.
the most important rule of the house: pick
your plastic cup and PUT YOUR NAME ON IT.
we also have decorating contest, etc.
so glad they have made a special place for
that now.
Following from Friday follows. Those cups sound fantastic! I'm having a big Easter Brunch and those would be perfect. Thanks for the tip. Hope you'll follow back!
Those cups look great! I'll have to remember those next time I have a bunch of friends over.
I roll over.....always have, always will.
Found you through FF. Great to "meet" you. Following your blog now.

Those cups are amazing.
I love those solo cups!!!!!
Love the cups! I don't even pay attention to over under...HA! Glad they did a study. Way to put those resources to good use. :)
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
Amy
Funny that you write about this today because I was JUST thinking about this yesterday while I was in the restroom (TMI?) It's such a pet peeve of mine for it to be ROLLED OVER. There are two rolls side by side that you can use, and if it is rolled under, I use the other one. Pathetic, I know. But it drives me NUTS!!
ROFL....I totally roll over the top!
And yes, those solo cups are genius! Love it.
Happy Friday!
Love your photos!
Hi there! Following you from Friday Follow. Great to meet you. Hope to see you over at my blog!
Those cups are too stinkin' cool! Thanks for sharing!
i used to not care about over/under..i mean whatever. but brad is a def OVER. so if i had it the "wrong" way he would change it. now im an over! ill even change it in someones house. haha. oops.
i dont get the cups?? do you stratch with your nail??
haha! this is a hilarious post! and i am totally an "over" kind of girl. that's so the right way to go. :)
I'm super "type B" and could not care less about which way I put the roll on....HOWEVER...When my brother and I were still living at home he'd get mad when I'd put it on wrong, and now my husband get's mad too (they are both over's) BUT I say...I'm the only one putting them on?!
Genious!! And Carissa dear, I would have never known about them if I hadn't read your blog. That's why I love you!
That is a great idea!!! Definitely going to get those next time I have a party!
I absolutely love those cups!!! We had them for our youth at a Christmas progressive dinner... totally brilliant!!! :)
That is very cool! I hate when you go to a gathering and you can't figure out which cup is yours...
we are definitely over over over. (And I change under when I see it..lol.)
And the cups are great. We use sharpie already but a special spot? Perfect.
that cup idea is amazing! I need to find those for Matthew's housewarming party! (I always lose mine)
OMG!.....Your baby is ADORABLE!

I love the cups...
I will be getting some for sure :)

the cups are an awesome idea and I WILL BE using them for my next party!!! Hope you are having a great friday pretty girl!!!
Love the Solo Cup idea! It's genius!!!
definitely over : ) Drives me crazy when it's under!!
LOL! I love your random hilarity. ^_^ I'm lame, because I'm a big germ freak, so if I'm at a party and I have a drink, I simply get the drink, guzzle it down, and then throw it away. haha. I don't tell the people who bought the supplies that though...cuz they'd probably be mad. ha!
And yeah....it's a MAJOR pet peeve of mine when people have toilet paper rolled under!!! GAH! It annoys me to no end. So, OVER! :)
Hope your weekend is utterly amazing!

Hello Carissa! So excited to meet you and your blog is awesome. :) Thanks for stopping by and always glad to hear from a fellow homeschooler who enjoyed being homeschooled. :)
I'm an over but hubby's an under, drive's me crazy!
I roll the correct way...over! and yes, those cups are absolutely genius. we totally do the sharpie trick in our family...and they never work just right. if you have any condensation on the cup because you forgot to write your name before pouring your drink, you're outta luck. thanks for sharing this genius product. And I ask myself the same question all the time....why didn't I think of that?!
enjoy your weekend!! :)
OVER ALWAYS---who in the world goes under? HA HA I hope you have a great weekend! oxxoo P.S. I am on fb...Juliana M King. I would love to connect with you more!
Hi! I saw you on my sister's blog and thought you looked like a friend of mine (although I knew it wasn't her, it just made me curious about you). :)
Anyway, those cups are a fantastic idea! I wish I had the brains to invent things like that. You know, things that really make sense! ha!
I'm an over roller and think that under rollers must be unique individuals because it just doesn't make sense to me to do it that way. HA!
Well, I just wanted to say hi.
Very cute blog.
Lynnette
PS My sister is Lisa over at Crazy Beautiful. And it looks like you know my daughter Abigail too. So, I'm joining the party! :)
What an exceptionally brilliant idea! I'm with ya-wish I'd have thought of the cups first! Hope you have a great weekend Carissa! ~Kristin
Love the Solo Cups idea! Much better than having your home littered with a hundred red cups.
Also love meeting another follower of Christ! :)
P.S. I'm giveaway crazy as well ~ be sure to enter my first GIVEAWAY!
Those cups are so smart! I'm going to have to get some for my small group on Monday nights. We are always mixing up cups. And I roll over. I always have. It just seems so quicker that way. haha. Have a great weekend!!!
I think you are absolutely hilarious (I just read your last five pages - apparently I needed to make SURE you were really funny, and you are!). Just became a follower, looking forward to more of what you have to say (funny or not. :)
Those cups are WONDERFUL. I wish we had them down here; ) Happy Saturday
Um hilarious. I'm a top roller as well. I hope our tax payers dollars went for this study and that it wasn't just a volunteer thing. :) The new cups sound amazing, I'm pretty stoked about those!
guilty!!! And LOVE the cups, Ive got to git me some. Thanks for adding to my ocd now~ I keep a sharpie put up just for parties and cups... Now, I can retire it!! ;) xoxo LA
I, the Design Apprentice, have been rolling incorrectly for the better portion of my life. This confession was not easy to write, but liberating none the less. I always rolled under because it seemed to spin faster. I will now roll over. The wall does in deed get in the way. In this case, I will cave Cottonelle and America. If only this were our nation's biggest turmoil. :)
too funny. cups look awesome! i want to try them now. :)
xo.
Over for sure! I have to turn the roll the other way when I see people doing it under. Haha. I found you on Cassie's blog. I'm following you now. :)

oh my goodness i love love love those cups! how ridiculously cute!
ans over. always over. its easier to use!! no searching down under for the end of the toilet paper that always seems to stick to the roll!! haha.
This was really cute!
LOVE those cups! I will definitely be getting those next time I have a big party. They are perfect.
I'm an over roller. It's because I like to fold the end of it into a little point like they do at hotels. Just kidding, I'm not that crazy!! That's how my Mom did it, so that's how I do it!
Love the cup idea!! So clever!
andddd I like when the TP is over :) hehe
AND being a MOM is a huge job. So scary in fact I don't think I could do it and am holding off for a very very long time. Maybe forever. Is that bad?! Thanks for being so quick and leaving a comment for me tonight :) xo
The cups are crzy smart! Your blog is too!
Hilarious!! Good to know I'm doing something right by being an over roller.
And those cups are seriously awesome!
Those cups are Brilliant. I"m buying some for a huge party I'm throwing in May... thanks for the tip!!

I will have to look for those cups next party...we have such a big family and if someone can't find their cup they just get another...so many cups by the end, lol
we roll ours under...well I roll ours under...everyone else just sits the roll on the vanity and waits for me to attach it :)
