Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, recently brought "Ocean Current" to Taichung. Even the "Chun Chun Cup" used for picnics to drink Roche Autumn Water tea became a topic. Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun also introduced that it was produced by the Taiwan Glass Museum in Changhua. Lin Zhaosui, founder of the Taiwan Glass Museum, said that the "Chun Chun Cup" is a classic type of Taiwanese glass. The 143 ml "Straight Water Cup" is also known as the "143 Cup" and is a favorite on desktop desks and restaurants.

Lin Zhaosui pointed out that the "Chun Chun Cup" is a customized product. The cup body is the best-selling basic glass cup in Taiwan. The juice cup or beer cup used at the desk is this "straight water cup". Later it was slowly replaced by paper cups and plastic cups. He remembers that the peak of production was around 1980 to 1990. At that time, his family factory alone could produce 2 million 143ml straight water cups every year, which was almost available in every household.

Lin Zhaosui said that with the boom of Taiwan's economy and the rise of disposable tableware, this classic "143 cup" is still used in Taiwanese-style office tables and Taiwanese restaurants. It is also the most Taiwanese-style glass. Many Taiwanese people think that if they want to drink Taiwanese beer, this "143 cup" is the most suitable. Some people simply call it "beer glass."

The Taiwan Glass Museum pointed out that some people think that the origin of "143 cups" is related to the war. Because the war caused brewing to be affected and there was a shortage, the capacity of the cups used for drinking beer was reduced. A 143 ml glass can be used to pour 6 cups of beer from a bottle of beer. We have been providing customized services for many years. This time, because of the "Ocean Current", the "Pure Pure Cup" has become the focus of attention, and the most traditional classic model has once again become a topic.
