Have a Photo With a Solo(R) Cup? You Could Win $5,000

HIGHLAND PARK, IL, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Solo party cups have been part of countless celebrations and gatherings
since the 1970s. This summer, Solo changed the shape of entertaining with
Solo Squared(TM), a first-of-its-kind Squared single-use cup. To
celebrate decades of great entertaining and the new Squared party cup,
Solo Cup Company has launched an online photo contest with a grand prize
of $5,000 for the best photo featuring a Solo Squared cup. Consumers can
enter their favorite photos at www.SoloCups4ever.com until August 21,
2009. Photos featuring SoloGrips(R), Ultra Colors(R) or Solo's iconic red
cup are eligible for prizes, too.

In addition to the grand prize, two $1,000 runner-up prizes will be
awarded at the end of the contest. Daily and weekly prizes of $100 gift
certificates and free Solo Squared cups also will be awarded. Some
restrictions apply. Please visit www.SoloCups4ever.com for complete
contest rules.

Solo Squared cups feature four grips for a more comfortable and reliable
hold no matter where you grab it. The plastic cups are available in
18-ounce and 9-ounce sizes in iconic red and blue colors. Solo Squared
combo packs with 9-ounce cups, lids and multi-color straws help to reduce
spills and are the perfect fit for smaller hands.
