Grapes of a man
edit"the cup is used to protect the grapes of a man" - Suggest removing this sentence fragment. I can only guess this is a reference to male groin protection, see Jockstrap. Perhaps this should be added to a disambiguation page.71.165.73.218 (talk) 05:35, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Problematic illustration
editBelow is the illustration in the opening section. I don't see any cups. Maybe the object second from left in the top row is a cup, but even if it is, the illustration just isn't suitable; and what's the point of the illustration without the key that would give us the names of the vessels? I will therefore remove it.Wordwright (talk) 20:49, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
It's so exciting
editIt's so exciting to see this actually look like a real article! Thanks to everyone who's participated. Red Slash 23:08, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
Is a citation really necessary?
editIn the history section on cups, it states that "Cups are an obvious improvement on using cupped hands or feet to hold liquids". For some reason, the article considers that it needs a citation.
The statement that cups are superior to hands and feet seems so obvious that I doubt a legitimate citation for it even exists. There might be articles on the history of cups and how they came to be, but why would we need an external source just to support the statement alone that cups work better than hands or feet?

- I would say this is obvious enough to not warrant inclusion in the article. WP:BOLDly removing. Bremps... 04:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
