I try to ask Southwest for the full can and usually get it.
One advantage I can see of the paper cups is they have lids whereas the plastic ones did not.
Moving to one cup should simplify the prep areas for the crew.
I did think the old paper cup was smaller than the plastic cup though... maybe not?
