A drink cup comprising
- a body including a floor and a side wall coupled to the floor to extend upwardly away from the floor and spaced from a central axis to define an interior region configured to provide a fluid-holding reservoir, the side wall including a lower portion and an upper portion each spaced apart from one another vertically along the central axis,
- a brim coupled to the body to locate the side wall between the brim and the floor and formed to include an opening into the interior region, and
- a strengthening unit located between the lower portion of the side wall and the upper portion of the side wall, the strengthening unit including a first strip and a second strip spaced apart from and vertically above the first strip,
- wherein a radially innermost edge of the first strip is a first distance from the central axis and a radially innermost edge of the second strip is a second distance from the central axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance.
