Sweet Styrofoam

The object I chose was........STYROFOAM CUPS *crowd cheers* woo!

I chose styrofoam because you can bend them and make them sturdy if the project calls for it~ that annnd I might get thirsty (lame wannabe joke I know) Ways to bind: glue, tape, slots, needle and thread, safety pins, bobby pins, oversized tacks, hot glue...the list goes on but my mind just went blank. So some things about styrofoam cups:
Ummm Kesha has a song called styrofoam heh
History:

On Dec. 16, 1946, Dow Chemical trademarked the term Styrofoam, according to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records. Today, we refer to all polystyrene-type material as styrofoam; however, this term should be used only to refer to the material produced by Dow. Particularly, Styrofoam is a building insulation material produced by Dow that is distinct from the material that polystyrene cups are made of. In fact, there is no such thing as a "Styrofoam coffee cup," according to Dow.

Foam Polystyrene

On July 26, 1947, Otis Ray McIntire, an inventor with Dow, invented foamed polystyrene. This new material was 30 times lighter than normal polystyrene and was far more durable and flexible. This material was highly water-resistant as well.

Warren R. Price and Alexander S. Houston

On May 9, 1957, Warren R. Price and Alexander S. Houston, assignors to Waxed Paper Company, filed a patent for a method of making a receptacle of foamed polystyrene. Referencing McIntire's manufacturing of foamed polystyrene, Price and Houston claimed that their method would make receptacles that would be "competitive with paper cups" and could be comfortably held in one's hand "even though boiling water is poured into the cup." This marks the earliest mention of a polystyrene cup.
