A couple of guys in their early 20s came up with a product intended for arthritis sufferers, but instead have managed to excite a lot more people in the process. Yes, tea drinkers can get excited too, especially by a mug/kettle mash-up.
Remember this amazing travel mug shaped like a camera lens that Canon handed out to press at the Olympics? Well, now you can pre-order one for yourself for a mere $US30 CAD. Sweet! [Vistek via DoobyBrain via The Daily What]
This isn’t just a mug with a barcode painted on, it’s the packaging as well – the barcode can be scanned by a cashier. Designed in Britain, it should be going on sale (and scanned) shortly. [DesignBoom]
Maybe it’s just that I’ve never worked in a large office environment, but I just can’t ever imagine becoming so attached to a coffee mug that I’d be prepared to physically remove a plug from the side of it to stop other office workers using it. But if being “that jerk” sounds like fun to you, Latestbuy has the plug mug available now.
Though I’ve never tried it, I guess coffee just doesn’t taste as good coming out of an aluminium bag. That’s the only reason I can think of for inventing this astronaut coffee cup.
There’s nothing I despise more than taking a sip of coffee and not having my day’s list of appointments written an inch from my nose.
You know what there’s not enough of in the world? Coffee mugs with integrated digital photo frames. (If you answered clean water, peace or medical care, thanks for playing, idiot.)
