Old Theory : Use paper cup and then dispose.
New Theory : Use RIP-cUP, rip out the top layer where you sipped from, rinse and reuse for a couple of more drinks.

My theory: use non-disposable cups.
I agree completly. Use non disposable items… All items, not only cups. Glass, Chinaware, etc.
I don’t get the point.
why would I rip off a part of a perfectly usable cup? Swineflu? I’ve found these to be perfectly usable until they have melted away.
I want to know why the thinking is that there are only germs where your mouth has touched the cup. I doubt that is the case – likely fluids get in the rest of the cup too.
Yeah, saliva is heavier than most drinks and usually goes to the bottom… Not a good idea.

my theory: why RIP if it needs to be rinsed anyway?
agreed… this idea Can RIP.
you use paper cups if you CAN’T WASH THEM otherwise you would use ceramics or glas
we have christmas markets here and they serve tee in mugs, you simply return them and get back the refund. they do all the washing.
yeah men, its better to use ceramics mugs
maybe it is hard for me to rip out the top layer
Not a good idea; cycling sickness!!!
Please avoid the idea of recycling the recycled.

The rim is not the only “affected” area. The saliva and germs get in the liquid which then spreads them around.
