You know the sort of cups you get at kids parties or sometimes from hotel bars (well, I got them from a hotel in Hawai'i for coke), how much do they hold, in ml if anyone knows, or oz since you're mostly Americans.
Just wondering their capacity.

Heh...I know one of the funniest things I've ever seen involved one of these. A movie theater was selling sodas in this size for, like, a dollar fifty...it was hilarious.

Try 2 bucks for a coke in Hawai'i. But they did give a free cherry with it, in the freaking cup.

Probably like 3 ounces. I'm not so handy with metric conversions off-hand, but that's probably in the vicinity of 100 ml.

Those cups are very small; I'm thinking of the small paper cups you'd see by the water cooler in doctors' offices. Actually my first guess is 4 oz or roughly 125 ml, but I find it hard to believe those small cups are half a standard 8 ounce measuring cup in volume.

Maybe you're confusing a volumetric ounce vs. weight ounce?
