[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Few people here were even alive "before sippy cups were invented".

They certainly had them in the 1950s and 1960s. They were just made of heavier plastic than today. But BPA-free, yay![/quote]

According to the intertubes, the modern sippy cup (the spout mechanism) was invented in 1981.

However, straws were invented in 1888. By the 1950s plastic straws were in wide use. My guess is many parents used them. [/quote]

I question the internet on this one. We definitely had Tupperware tumblers with sippy lids in the late 70s. Maybe those didn't count as official sippy cups since they weren't spill-proof (though frankly not all of the ones sold today are, either!)--but it was still a plastic lid with a little spout.

But yes, I'd guess open cups were the go-to for most families. That's what my own kids use most of the time today, unless they're somewhere where they really need a sippy or straw cup to avoid spilling. We started open cups at the table around a year, and they picked it up pretty quickly.[/quote]
