WANTED: Plastic or Paper Cups and lots of Ice

[Dee]

I'm taking 50 people on a picnic next week, and going to provide some
soft drinks on the coach up, so need about 100 cups for there and back,
anyone selling them cheap, don't care about size or if paper or plastic
will be thrown out anyway.

Also whatabout getting ice, (apart from making your own), who's got
cheap ice to put into the cooler box to keep the drinks cool?

The solution to your problem is several giant bottles of Rola-Cola which
cost about 9p each from the local corner store.
Just pass them round with straws and instructions for everyone to only take
a reasonable slurp each.

As for the ice, well I'm sure they'll be wanting the drink as warm as
possible given the current state of the weather.
