Phoenix is really dry and dehydration is an actual health risk so we drink a ton of water all day long and we just have glasses everywhere :) I gather them all up and stick them in the DW constantly. When my DH was growing up each family member had a color (for all things) and they had large plastic water glasses in those colors on the counter so they could keep track. I like drinking out of glass so that doesn't work for us. I use lidded straw cups with my kid and he gets regular cups at meal-time. TMI: DH and I don't worry about sharing glasses. We share way too many cooties as it is to worry about drinking glasses. I know, we are gross :) I see lot's of cute pins on Pinterest that involve using chalkboard paint on glass, that would be a cute way to label/differentiate glass glasses... No need to drink Gatorade all day long, it's full of sugar. You do not need to replenish electrolytes unless you are an athlete or working for hours in the hot sun or are at risk for dehydration due to illness (like kids needing pedialyte) I have spent my lifetime in dry 115+ degree summers in addition to working out for up to 2 hours at a time and I have never needed electrolytes to hydrate. That is really just marketing hype. Now, healthy people should not be avoiding salt either, but that is a whole different subject :) Here is a link that might be useful: chalkboard paint glasses

No Ikea near me, but I'd love to take a road trip sometime. Lascat - I haven't checked out any boxed sets for a while. Our TJ Maxx & Marshalls stores seem to be hit or miss. Jlc & Cindy- I used to work in a restaurant we used very similar looking glasses! They were very heavy duty, but the style does remind me of that place unfortunately. Funky - I like those ice tea glasses. I like the contrasts too! You know, I like stemless wine glasses, but I'm not a wine drinker so I didn't know if that was weird/wrong to buy them for everyday use. Beagles - I'll have to stop by one sometime and see what they have. I have one of these coke glasses in clear and use it for the occasional iced tea since giving up soda. coke glass And lookey here - these are the drinking glasses I had, but mine were in a box set I think. glasses that broke Sue - That's a fun site! I found some Christmas gifts! Ruby - They do look huge! Thank you everyone for the recommendations. I'll do some more browsing around here since I haven't looked much lately. I know they're just drinking glasses, but I haven't seen any I really like. I'm going on a fun shopping trip in a few weeks so hopefully I'll find something. I like these bee ones from Ballard, but for some reason I can't pull the trigger. Do I really want bees on my drinking glasses? Ballard bee tumblers

I will also recommend the Duralux Picardie glasses. I have 4 different sizes . I love how they feel in your hand. They are also shatterproof and some of the smaller ones are good for kids. They are made in France. I got mine in World Market and Williams Sonoma sells them also. You can also put hot beverages in them.

What kind of identification do you need? Decorated glasses with various motifs were popular in the 1960's - some from the 1950's as well. It has no particular value as there are many around. If someone likes the particular motif - e.g. collects items with carriages - then they might pay a small amount to add to their collection. I have some with flamingos that I acquired from various flea markets over the years. What might be of some value is if someone had the entire set and even better if it is in the original package but even then they aren't really very valuable because they aren't particularly coveted. It can be fun to use stuff like this - I have vintage items and I use them instead of new ones.
