ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved drinking cup. The drinking cup includes a bottom portion and a sidewall portion integrally formed therewith. The sidewall portion defines a liquid holding cavity and has an upper peripheral edge which defines an opening through which a liquid can be placed within and withdrawn from the liquid holding cavity. The drinking cup further includes a laterally extending handle attached to the sidewall portion. The handle has an upper thumb rest portion including a raised portion for preventing a user's thumb from contacting the sidewall portion and inadvertently dislodging a lid placed over the opening. A lid for cooperating with the cup is also disclosed.
