The drinking cup further includes a laterally extending handle attached to the sidewall portion. The handle has an upper thumb rest portion including a raised portion for preventing a user's thumb from contacting the sidewall portion and inadvertently dislodging a lid placed over the opening. A lid for cooperating with the cup is also disclosed.
