When I was a kid and walking home from school, I would use to pretend there was an imaginary parkour man doing parkour over the houses, garbage cans, and all sorts of objects. Having this fascinating imagination as a kid was a way to pass the time as I walked home. There was this one thing I remembered. I recall seeing these paper cups littered all over the town. It wasn't any kind of paper cup. This one was unique. Throughout elementary to high school. Every day I walk home from school, I see this paper cup. I would say roughly every five blocks I walk, I would see this white paper cup. Littered either on the sidewalk, the curb, near the storm drain, or the front lawn of someone's property. Crushed, half ripped, or with the lid and straw intact. Upon further inspection, the cup had a picture of a cartoon-styled hippo, looking directly at you, the person holding the cup. Behind the hippo, there's a yellow background with acacia trees and a blue wavy pattern at the upper part of the cup. With a sign that read "Milkshake" in bold red text. I kinda ignored it and went with my days.
