In Hulseman's obituary in the Chicago Tribunethat ran in the days before Christmas, his family wrote that the inventor of the cup and those helpful Traveler Lids for hot drinks on the go was more than just his job, he "was known for his sense of humor, which manifested in many a bad joke, great wit, and his ability to spin a partner on the dance floor" and his love of music.
Seems fitting then that his death has also renewed interest in country singer Toby Keith's 2011 song "Red Solo Cup," which is all about the party culture that grew around the product.
Cheers.
