And by 1970, the invention had been around long enough to become *annoying* to some people. The following is from the Kander & Ebb show "70, Girls, 70":
"The trouble with the world today is plain to see,
It's coffee in a cardboard cup!
The trouble with the affluent society,
Is coffee in a cardboard cup.
No one's ever casual or nonchalant,
No one wastes a minute in a restaurant,
No one wants a waitress passing pleasantries,
Like 'Hiya miss,'
'Hiya sir,
May I take your order please?'"
So it's possible that Professor Jones's brilliant idea contributed to the end of the leisurely meals he so loves.
