Homemade Recycled "To-Go" Cup

No matter how many drink "to go" cups I buy, there never seem to be enough. In an emergency, I found myself cobbling one up from a recycled fast food cup - large - and making a lid by putting on a plastic yogurt lid which I cut to fit with little flaps cut into the rim on one side and then secured with electrical tape. I then cut a triangle in the lid and inserted a straw I had saved. Looks monstrous - but will do to save spills while on the go.

TOO MUCH WORK FOR ME!!! I DO SAVE THE FOAM SOFT DRINK CUPS FROM THE FAST FOOD PLACES. I KEEP THE LIDS TOO. I WASH THEM OUT AND RE-USE THEM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THROWING THEM AWAY. JUDY
