Costco NSFW Cups Go Viral; Unintentionally Risqué Lid Design Sparks Wave of Online Jokes

A recent viral post has drawn unexpected attention to Costco, but not for its bulk products or unbeatable deals.

Instead, it’s the design of a cup lid that’s sparked laughter and raised eyebrows across social media platforms.

The buzz began when a Reddit user, known as @Tommyjv, shared a photo of a Costco drink cup with a lid that, at first glance, bears an uncanny resemblance to male genitalia.

The lid’s peel-back tab, intended for sipping, appears to form a shape that many found humorously inappropriate.

The user captioned the image with,

“Costco just expects me to drink from the balls of my lid?”

This sparked a flood of witty responses, turning a simple coffee run into an online comedy show.

The Reddit thread quickly filled with jokes and puns, with comments like, “Hate to say it … but looks like you got shafted,” and “Make eye contact with other gents at the food court while sipping.” One user offered a practical tip: “I usually push it inward and up against itself. But if you prefer balls, that’s all you,” suggesting a workaround for those uncomfortable with the design.

Despite the cheeky humor, some customers voiced their preference for the new lid over traditional straws, appreciating its functionality.

“After figuring it out and using it, I was happy to ditch the cardboard straws,” noted one user.

Another pointed out that the lid design prevents ice from clogging the drink opening, a common complaint among those using straws.

While the humor continues to swirl online, with even X (formerly Twitter) users getting in on the jokes,

Costco has yet to comment on the unintended viral moment.

For now, the retailer’s quirky cup lid remains the unexpected star of social media, blending practical design with unintended comedy.
