husleman initially launched the red solo cups in smaller 5, 7 and 9 ounce sizes. however, he eventually introduced the iconic 16 ounce red solo cup, which proved to be the most popular size long term. when the 16 ounce red cups were first sold, very few consumers drank beers that size. however, consumer tastes changed to match the size of the popular plastic cups. today, the plastic solo cups are manufactured in dozens of colors, but the red solo cups remain the company's best seller.
