Note: I had purchased the 16 oz cups in a 100 pack. You'll notice one of my photo shows 50 pack. This is because they put two 50-packs in my order. So I DID receive 100.Are these the BEST-QUALITY disposable cups? Of course not! But, I paid $15.99 (on sale) for 100 cups WITH lids. That is a cheap and fair price, with quality meeting expectations.These are thinner, yes. So they "squeeze" easier than other cups with firmer walls. However, even when empty, I tested the "squeeze" factor with the lids on, worried it might cause the lid to pop off, and the lid stayed firmly on. The test involved using a bit more pressure than what might occur from picking up or putting down the cup while in use.Which is point #2 - the lids are a secure, tight fit. My mother has used, at this point, 3 cups; and, so far, all have been just fine. Will there be any defective cups in the pack? It's POSSIBLE, but I don't forsee it happening; and for $16 for 100, a couple defective cups isn't the end of the world.The cups, with hot coffee in them, do feel warm in the hand, so I don't know how these hold up if you tend to hold your coffee for long periods of time - but, even my elderly mother, whom these cups are for, has no problem holding the cup, without those protective sleeves, to take her sips.We have had no cups showing signs of coffee bleeding through or leaking, so I cannot say what those reviewers were doing. Were they using their disposable cup for "re-use" for days? Were they letting their cup sit for hours (or days) with coffee in them? All I know is, in other reviews, I saw complaining about bleeding through the cup... even what they showed wasn't really horrible. LoL. It happens! People expect way too much. ?All-in-all, I got what was advertised, and the product is holding up to expectations - which is a THROW AWAY, one-time-use, disposable cup. Yes, I would purchase again, so long as the cost stays relatively the same.
