They have these new mugs at Mugs which they placed in the very middle of the entryway so I had to walk around them, slowly, each time I came in the door. Something about the color that caught my attention. Something about the shape that caught my attention. I was able to hold off the compulsion to buy one for about two weeks, then…
Sadly, I really don’t enjoy it. Its’ shape does not fit in my car console, nor does the shape fit in my backpack sleeve. But, I must admit the shape is nice to hold in my hand. The lip is designed so that it dribbles and runs down the side of the cup and onto my shirt. So I need to be careful when drinking from it. However, my mocha latte tastes fine in it. My consumer mind causing me to think I needed one, but didn’t. The one I have works fine. Sigh! Have a great weekend!

It’s a shame that they didn’t put more thought into the design. Not dribbling coffee onto the drinker is a very basic feature. Oh well, put some flowers in it. 😀

What an awesome idea! 💐 😂

It seems to be an example of style over function…a prime example of so much in our society today.

I was surprised the first time I used it. It is built well, has vacuum sealed walls but dribbles.

It amazes me when I come across a product that looks and/or performs as though the designer had never actually used it. It looks nice, and for a lot of folks – you included – that was enough to make you part with your money. I like Faye’s suggestion! 🙂

I’ve talked with one of the baristas who has last years version and it does the same thing to her. We have the same mug except the color and it has a different logo. Yes, a great place for flowers.

Maybe a nice feel in your hand is the ONLY thing they even considered. 🙂
