The inventor of the red Solo cup has died

[WOPL Sniffer]

It has been a sad week indeed.

2016 is still not done. Before we lost George Michael, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds this week, we lost someone who's probably had just as big an impact on our lives, though you've never heard of him:
Robert Leo Hulseman.

He's the man who invented the red Solo cup, staple at every party ever. He died last week at age 84.

The red Solo cup is as much of an iconic American component to life as ...

the Kegger

the Flag

and Apple Pie
