What if we stopped with all the plastic cups?

We need to talk about the plastic cup situation in the OKC Metro.

I know a few months ago (Maybe it was a year ago? I don't know, time is a flat circle and also it's almost 2020 so what the hell?) there was a picture that went local viral of someone loading up the top rack of a dishwasher with the plastic cups from places like Hideaway and Eskimo Joe's. I can't remember what the text said, but it was such a relatable image.

We all have too many plastic cups from restaurants.

If you don't have them from Fuzzy's Tacos, then you have them from Rudy's Bar-B-Q, or you have them from O'Connell's. And now, you can have them from Notorious P.I.E.

(Side note: Notorious P.I.E. is the new pizza restaurant from Hal Smith Restaurant Group in Downtown Norman. It's good, but gives you the overall feeling that Hal Smith, clad in a Hawaiian shirt, went to Empire in the Plaza once, and decided to steal that concept, but also wanted to give a general 1990s City Bites vibe as well. Notorious P.I.E. is just like every HSRG joint, so the servers are so far up your ass the whole time that you can taste them more than the food. This is a concept that works well at Norman's west side Louie's, just because those mile of cars salesmen really like the attention from the Louie's girls. It's pretty irritating otherwise.)
