Corn Cups

The Stanford cafeteria is a magical place.  Its cups are made from corn.


They look like ordinary plastic cups, but they're even tougher.  I should know.  I have a habit of ripping cups apart.  The cups claim to be biodegradable.  Naturally, I was skeptical and so I immediately decided to investigate.  I threw a cup into my backyard two months ago and I've been closely monitoring it since then.  Here are a few of the photographs I've taken:



Pretty exciting, huh?  To keep everyone up-to-date on its progress, I will now be posting daily updates about the status of the cup to this blog.  It could turn into dirt any day now.
