Red Solo Cup Inventor Robert Hulseman Dies At Age 84
NORTHFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Former Solo Cup Co. President Robert Hulseman, who invented the now party-essential Red Solo Cup, has died. He was 84.
His son, Paul Hulseman, says his father died Dec. 21 at his home in Northfield, Illinois, of complications after a series of strokes.
