This is a detour from the current ongoing conversation, but what are the Plastic Cups?

I think he meant the Thirsty Cups, _why's band:

Wow, I can't believe I thought it was "Plastic Cups" all this time. Thanks stephencelis, I've edited my comment.

Edit: ah, now I remember. It's because in chapter 4 of the poignant guide, _why starts using plastic_cup as an example variable and I thought he was making a reference to his band, and forever thereafter I confused the name.
