I hate to go coffee cups. Once they're finished they tip over too easily, they roll around, they're an inconvenient shape unless you happen to be in a car. This cup solves all those problems. Hanging onto a cup is no longer a chore. At work, it will fit snugly up against the wall of your office or cubicle while sitting on your desk. It's no longer top heavy.
More importantly, the cup features a simple coupon. Returning it gets you 5% off your next cup, and reusing it gets you 10%. That's at most, 50 cents off, which wouldn't be worth if the cup didn't fold up and fit easily in a bag or pocket.
The printed, folded cups can be easily stacked and stored, or could be sent out with newspapers or magazines as coupons (obviously this would be a one-time thing, or else it wastes more than it saves).Any suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated!

@Qvistar - I wouldn't dream of changing the branding of the Starbucks cup. I was just trying to show this new cup in it's own context, but I should probably put an image of the cup up with the Starbucks logo. I recently got a puppy, so my contest time has been a bit limited lately.
Thanks!

Have you made up a prototype? I'd love to see the folding in action. What is the cup made of?

Thanks for you questions. I don't have a prototype, I don't really have the resources to put one together, but if anybody out there is interested in helping to create one I'd love to collaborate. I would like to see the cup made out of recycled material, but even it were made of the same material as a standard coffee cup and people recycled/reused it, I think that's a step in the right direction.
The cup would have to fit in a cupholder, or nobody would use it, so to make up for that it would need to be taller than a current coffee cup. I'll add that to the description.

So if you are breaking down the cup.... we are partially responsible for the refuse we need to dispose of...and Starbucks would have to responsibly dispose of the voided coupon?
If I'm correct.. then it should be made of a recyclable or biodegradable material, right?
Also, it has to be sturdy enough to maintain the beverage....but easy enough that the consumer can take their coupon without frustration... otherwise the consumer may just say forget about the coupon. ( I wouldn't ...but somebody might)
