Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another. Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met. Bell Hooks
About This Quote

The Dixie Cup is a disposable cup, often made of colored plastic. Originally, the cups were produced only for the Southern U.S. market. However, they are now widely available all over the country and even internationally.

The cups are used with a variety of food and beverages and are usually purchased in bulk for a price that ranges from a few cents to a few dollars a piece depending on their size and color. Dixie Cups are usually purchased at stores such as Wal-Mart or Target and can be found in vending machines as well as at grocery stores. Although the name of this cup is “Dixie Cup,” it is also known by its alternative name, “disposable cup.” The Dixie Cup is a disposable cup that is used mainly to serve drinks at parties, family gatherings, or other social gatherings.

The cups have many colors and sizes which allow them to be purchased for a variety of purposes. However, the most common use is to serve a type of drink called a punch bowl punch . This drink is made out of various fruit juices mixed together so that each person can choose their own beverage from the punch bowl instead of just drinking from one cup.

This way people can have different flavors throughout the day instead of being stuck with whatever juice that was served at dinner time earlier that night. When people first purchase their Dixie Cup , they usually do not think about how long they will need them for because they are simply buying them to serve drinks at parties and family gatherings. After purchasing however, people realize how annoying it can be to have another piece of disposable plastic on hand every time they want to serve drinks at a party or family gathering because these cups can quickly turn into trash after only one use if they are not taken care of properly. The biggest problem with these cups is that most people do not take care of them properly after using them for one occasion because they think that once those cups are thrown out that people will not want them anymore and will become upset if they find out that those cups were actually thrown out or recycled by mistake. These cups can simply be tossed away without any problem if proper care is taken after people use them only once more than usual because they know that there is no good reason why someone should be upset or feel bad about their reusable cup being thrown away because it has been used more than its original purpose but was not taken care of properly after it was used more than usual.
