The Cup that Cares

[----------------------]

Little interesting thing that I found out with my visit to the park this weekend. I broke out my "cup that cares" from all the way back in 2013. It's a typical refillable cup that has an air filled insulation layer as well as an rfid tag in the base that is supposed to track how many refills you get to show how much CO2 emissions you're saving.

I don't know why, but through 4 refills on the day, I was charged a total of 0 times. I did notice that it does not have a barcode to scan, so perhaps that is why, but I can't say for sure. These cups were sold in a customizable penguin style and sesame street characters as well. Here's a picture of the standard one that I have. Does anyone else here have this cup?

I have both a penguin and the normal cup. I also have a ton of accessories and a pouch for my penguin.

In addition, I have the BGT white tiger Cup That Cares, which was also sold at BGW.

I wonder if that means that they'd take them at BGT too. Have you used yours recently down here?

Nope. But now I am curious to know, if they still work.

I don't think i ever refilled in Antarctica, was it supposed to give you some kind of indication when you got a refill?

I have a older one like u and a new one with a different style top and a barcode sticker they placed on it when I bought on it but they both worked at BGT when I was there over Christmas Holiday never saw the refill number though

I don’t recall if it kept track of anything.
