Most all American cups are small enough at the bottom to fit in near universally sized drink holders in a car. The bigger ones get bigger on top. My guess is that's about 28 to 32 oz medium. About the size cup to wander around a job site with till ya all hit the Chinese buffet at lunch...๐Ÿ˜

oh always wondered why they had that skinny bottom in the us figured it was just sealed off at the bottom like sticking a superfluous bit to the bottom to make it look bigger without giving you more fizz I know you guys revolve around cars but god damn

Fast food cups pretty much universally come in 32 oz (8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48), having worked places that sold styrofoam 32 oz cups for decades, I'm extremely confident that's the size it is. For Europeans to comprehend, it is essentially 1 liter.
