Why does everyone like giant, awkwardly shaped, gawdy, hand was only in lukewarm water, non-microwave, non-dishwasher safe mugs that start peeling after 3 months? Is your talking pikachu mug with a speaker and light up tail really worth all that effort when it winds up in the back of the top shelf cupboard and you go back to white ceramic after 3 weeks? How many Looney Tunes mugs from Six Flags can one person reasonably store in their home before exceeding the legal limit for dissolved lead concentration?

Why would we invent a machine that cleans the dishes just to invent dishes that the machine cannot clean? What are we DOING with our LIVES??

The starbucks in my area used to sell the mugs that they also used in-store. They were gigantic (like 700ml?), completely white ceramic with a very subtle logo and only cost 10€ each. They’re also extremely fishwasher proof because they were made to be washed like a dozen times a day. After like 6 or 7 years of use (we got them pre-covid), they still look like new and I regret only buying 2 of them at the time.

Ironically, I haven’t actually ever bought a drink at starbucks. I only bought the mugs because I saw them while picking up a Too Good To Go order there one time

The big dishwasher-unsafe novelty mugs are good for keeping on your desk to hold pens or mints or something.

I’ve made that mistake a couple times. I’ve just washed the mug in the dishwasher until all the prints peeled off and it became a normal mug.

Somebody wants to drink their coffee out of Marvin The Martian and this poster is committed to not let anyone enjoy such a thing.
