I'm after clear plastic cups...what's the biggest size you can get?

As title really.

Are Pint 'glasses' the biggest you can get?

I'd prefer bigger but can't seem to find any.

    What do you want them for ? Garden centres do clear plastic "orchid pots" which can be much bigger

    I wanted to use them as cheap individual cloches for my seedlings.

    A pint size would probably do but thought a little bigger would be better and do for longer as the plant grows a bit.

    Can't you slice the top off 2 litre plastic pop/fizzy water bottles and use those?

    following on from bronnie's suggestion, supermarket value water or cola/lemonade would probably be the cheapest way unless you have pop drinkers in the house anyway

    Yes could do. Just thought it would be cheaper and less hassle to buy cheapo cups. Don't need anything doing to them, stack easily and don't take up much space.

    I was kinda hoping Poundland or the likes would have this kind of thing, especially coming up to barbecue / garden / outdoor season.

    I had a pack of 20 pint tumblers I got from Tesco a couple of years ago for something like £1.20 and just wondered if you got bigger.
