The Fountain Cup is a paper soda cup from a fast food restaurant. It is a small throwaway drink container. It holds a little under a third of a litre.
It is a stopgap for the first days, before a proper bottle turns up. It catches rain when left on the ground outside. Its contents can only be purified in a microwave, and the cup can only be used once.
The cup is very common in fast food diners and their kitchens.
Using
The cup takes water, soda or any other drink. Once it holds enough water, seltzer water or tainted water, the character can drink from it automatically when thirsty. Left on the ground outdoors, it slowly fills with rainwater.
Rainwater needs purifying before drinking. The cup cannot go on a stove, so a working microwave is the only way to make its contents safe.
A Water Bottle or a canteen is a far better carrier for long trips. The Fountain Cup fills the gap until one is found.
