The Pessimist's Mug

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:14:21 -0400

The Pessimist's Mug is cynical parody of the half-full/half-empty glass debate. The mug retails for $9.95 for the standard version and $19.95 for the executive edition. The mug has a line at the mid-point with the caption "this glass is now half-empty". The Pessimist's Mug is made by Despair, Inc., most famous for their Demotivator posters.

Pizza Fork

Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:48:26 -0400

This isn't just a regular fork. Look closely and you'll see the genius and why this is called specifically a pizza fork. Pizza eating isn't the most graceful of acts, but the pizza fork might just change that. Instead of bare-handed greasiness, or fumbling with a fork and knife, this little invention may have solved the dilemma we've all been having since 7^th grade pizza Friday's.

Global Warming Mug

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:11:46 -0400

When you pour a hot beverage into the mug, the heat makes the continents disappear. Watch the land mass disappear right before your eyes! This mug demonstrates, in a fun way, what could happen to the Earth if the trend of pollution causing global warming continues.

In summary, Global Warming Mug = fun, Real Global Warming = not fun.

You WILL need this mug to keep your drinks hot when global freezing overcomes the earth ;-)

Please note Mug is NOT dishwasher safe.

OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 11:22:27 -0400

Spilling hot coffee on yourself, or eating warm food that's gone cold is a daily problem for many people. The LiquiSeal mug aims to solve both of these problems using its silicone sealing system and vacuum insulation.

At the push of a button the three-layer silicone top locks into place preventing any liquid from escaping the mug. Another push of the button releases the lock when you want to drink. Insulation is achieved through two separate walls separated by a vacuum layer. With this setup, Oxo claims that the LiquiSeal will keep the contents of the mug cool or warm for up to 7 hours.

Instead of a handle the mug comes with a rubbery grip that does not get affected by the temperature of the contents. For best results Oxo recommends that you preheat the mug with hot or cold water for a few minutes then emptying out the water and placing your drink inside.

Masahiro Mori Porcelain Cup

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:59:06 -0400

Masahiro Mori's porcelain cups were designed with the curve of a person's hand in mind. The cups feature finger-holds that mold to your grip, making the cup an ergonomic and comfortable drinking experience. Each cup stands 4.5 inches tall with a 2.5 inch diameter and are made from genuine porcelain.

Masahiro's commitment to design, especially in the realm of ceramics and porcelain is well known. As a young designer in the 50s, he was instrumental in bringing industrial design to Japan. Post-war Japan required a major shift in perception and focus, and Masahiro was a key player in transforming "Made in Japan" as a cheap alternative to "Made in Japan" as a quality choice. His keen eye for choosing designs that are both traditional and modern has garnered him a place in history as a visionary.

Brugo Mug

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 11:14:41 -0500

Coffee Lovers everywhere know the importance of drinking their favorite beverage at the right temperature. If your coffee is too hot or too cold, it can really affect your day, throwing off your whole morning ritual. The Brugo Mug solves the problem by introducing a patented system to regulate your coffee as you drink it. The "tip and cool" spout cools the coffee in a separated chamber to the optimum temperature right before you drink it. This lets you cool the coffee in small quantities, so that you're not required to let the whole coffee cool before you're ready to go.

The great thing about the Brugo is that if your coffee is already at your perfect temperature, you don't have to use the "tip and cool" functionality and can go straight to just drinking it regularly. This will bypass the cooling chamber and behave like your standard travel mug.

Available in a variety of colors, including an executive line (supposedly more sophisticated colors), and a more hip jazz line.

Mr. Jones Mug

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:18:18 -0500

Keeping up with the Joneses has become so much easier since Polly George's collection of ceramics came out. The idea is that the Joneses are always with you at tea time. Mr. Jones watches from the top of the teapot lid and joins in the fun from inside the cup. Mrs Jones sits inside the other mug, so they're always together, watching you, enjoying your tea, and generally being good company.

These bowls are made of nickel-plated brass, hand-molded with added hammer imprints for authenticity - making it appear aluminum foil-esque.
