The hashtag #CupForBen has since gone viral as the internet races to find a cup that has been out of production for a decade now.。

Marc Carter's 14-year-old son Ben has refused to drink from anything other than a very specific Tommee Tippee cup since the age of 2.  。

The 42-year-old dad from Devon, UK worries that the consequences will be dire if a replacement is not found before the current cup wears out.。

In a Twitter post, he explains, "Ben hasn’t drunk at school since the age of five, he doesn’t drink outside of the house so we can’t go anywhere. 。

"People say he will drink when he’s thirsty, but two emergency trips to A&E with severe dehydration say otherwise." 。

Carter told the BBC that Ben has had the cup he currently uses for three years now, and he only expects it to last for a few more weeks. 。

Carter, whose other two children also have special needs, turned to Twitter for help, and the response has been overwhelming.。

"It has genuinely moved me to tears," he writes in an update,"It's incredible that you all want to help."。

Several people have suggested that a 3D printer might provide a longterm solution, too, if a cup can be secured to replicate. 。
