There are no Styrofoam(tm) coffee cups
http://www.styrofoamcrafts.com/en/its-not-a-cup
" "There isn't a *coffee cup*, cooler or packaging material in the world
made from actual *Styrofoam*," according to Dow Chemical, which owns the
*Styrofoam* trademark."

Closed Cell Polyethylene Foam is the stuff used to package computers, often
