I Love Spreadsheets Mug Is for Digital Masochists

Posted on 25/05/2020 by Paul Strauss

When I worked in the corporate world, I think my time was equally split between sitting in mindless, unnecessary meetings and staring at massive spreadsheets. While I consider myself to now be an expert at manipulating PivotTables and complex Excel macros, I by no means love spreadsheets. It’s just something I learned in order to get my job done. But I’m sure there are some people out there who see something like:

=INDEX(C3:E9,MATCH(B13,C3:C9,0),MATCH(B14,C3:E3,0))

…they get all warm and fuzzy inside. This coffee mug is for those people.

Simply pour your favorite hot beverage into the I Love Spreadsheets mug and it’ll calculate your undying love for endless grids of data – at least up to 65536 rows and columns. Whether you cut your teeth on Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or even good old Lotus 1-2-3, this mug is perfect for you. I’m dating myself, but the first spreadsheet I ever used was VisiCalc on an Apple II. Good times. No AutoSum or Conditional Formatting back then. We did our spreadsheets the old fashioned way!

This mug is the perfect gift formula for the accountant or business person on your shopping list. You can grab one over at Firebox for just $9.99, though according to the calculations on my spreadsheet, you’ll pay a bit more for it if you need it shipped to the U.S. from the U.K., which is where Firebox is based.

The Best Part of Waking Up… Is Kraken in Your Cup

Posted on 13/05/2020 by Paul Strauss

Since it’s a fictitious creation, nobody really knows what a Kraken looks like. But the one thing we can all agree on is that the thing is a gigantic sea monster, and almost certainly has tentacles that it uses to snatch ships and drag them to the bottom of the ocean.

I think this Kraken tentacle mug does a great job capturing the spirit of this legendary sea beast, and has no need to show its body to get its point across.

The Kraken mug has a food-grade stainless steel cup insert, wrapped in a hand-sculpted food-grade resin. I love all of the details like the ship’s rivets, along with all of the suckers on the Kraken’s tentacles. Best of all, one of the tentacles serves as the mug’s handle. This mug is just one of the many creepy, morbid, and downright odd items featured in artist Michael Locascio’s Dellamorte & Co. Etsy shop.

It measures about 5.5″ tall, and holds 16 oz of your favorite beverage. I like the idea of some kind of rum since that’s all that pirates drink at sea, right? Yarrrrr! So if you want to be able to say “my mug has a Kraken it!” you can grab one of these cool drinking vessels over on Etsy for $45.

A self-filtering mug that takes care of the tea-bag while you sip your tea

Posted on 04/02/2020 by Sarang Sheth

We invented the tea bag in 1904. It took us over a century to invent a place to keep it. Meet the Cupio, a teacup for tea-lovers. Its unique design lets you brew tea right in the cup, and then pull the teabag into its special enclosure, squeezing every ounce of that golden goodness out.

The Cupio as an idea isn’t brand new… but it’s the first to be publicly available. It comes with a two-part design featuring a heat-insulated du-ceramic mug and a bamboo-wood handle that’s great to hold and resists any heat. Between the cup and the handle lies the Cupio’s most defining feature… a special design detail that allows you to pull a tea bag into it, effectively squeezing the tea out, while also giving you a place to store the bag as you sip your tea. Given that teabags are often chosen as the more convenient solution, it seems counter-productive that once you’re done with the teabag, finding a place to immediately dispose of it can often be a challenge. Designer Zeynel Abidin Savrun faced the same problem in 2017 and ended up having the teabag drip all over his college-work as he fished the bag out and rapidly tried to get it to the waste-bin. Cupio just conveniently handles that mess for you by not only squeezing your teabag (so it doesn’t drip willy nilly), but also by conveniently holding onto the bag so you can dispose of it once you’ve finished that great cup of tea. Oh, and it works with all sorts of tea bags (and coffee-bags) too!

CUPIO – Self Filtering Teabag Mugs

Crash Bandicoot Uka Uka Mug: That’s One Angry Mug

Posted on 22/07/2019 by Paul Strauss

If you ever played any of the Crash Bandicoot games, you’re familiar with the masks that float around the game. The one that offers you help and makes that great “rutabaga” sound effect is called “Aku Aku,” while the bad guy boss is called “Uka Uka.”

If you dig the look of these tribal masks, and you like to sip coffee at your desk, then you should grab this official Crash Bandicoot Uka Uka mug.

The colorful, sculpted ceramic mug features the ugly mug of that evil and grumpy human spirit who came back as an evil mask, and will look great keeping your coffee or tea warm. He’s got quite the scowl on his face – probably because you just poured searing hot beverage into his head. You can grab one over at Firebox for $16.99.

Pac-Man Mug Powers You up with Caffeine

Posted on 04/06/2019 by Shane McGlaun

Pac-Man was the first video game I ever played in the arcade back in the day. I remember not making it very long because I was always trying to gobble up the power pellets and didn’t do a good job evading the ghosts. Fans of Pac-Man who prefer to get their power up via caffeine instead of gobbling up dots might want this mug.

The 3D sculpted mug has a large curved yellow handle and Pac-Man’s smiling face. His eyes look a lot like the Pac-Man in the old games. The mug is made of ceramic, which means one drop and no more wakka wakka wakka. It’s not microwave safe, and you also have to hand wash it, just like an actual Pac-Man.

It will hold 20 ounces of whatever you want, and Amazon (affiliate link) will sell you one for $14.99.

Terminator T-800 Hand Tankard and Bookends: Cyberdyne Collectibles

Posted on 27/05/2019 by Conner Flynn

You’ve seen the trailer for the latest Terminator movie, now check out these Terminator T-800 hand tankards and split head bookends from Merchoid. The Terminator is back, and this time he’s coming after your wallet.

Both are cast in resin and are hand painted to look like metal. The tankard even has a washable stainless steel insert for easy cleaning. They also both include the Cyberdyne Systems logo. That tankard looks pretty hefty and those bookends are going to look amazing on your shelf. It’s like owning some genuine Terminator parts.

I bet this is just another Skynet scheme to get into your home and take over, then end the world as we know it. Maybe that hand is going to come to life and start crawling around your house while the skull bookends vocally help it navigate. That hand is gonna make a mess of your house.

But here’s the thing. All of these mugs and bookends will all activate at once. Here’s the other thing. There are more parts out there and they are all gonna come together like a bunch of Voltrons and kill us all.

This TARDIS Mug Holds a Whopping 64 Ounces of Coffee

Posted on 22/05/2019 by Conner Flynn

Check out this jumbo-sized 64 oz. TARDIS Mug. It’s round rather than square which is much better for coffee sipping. Looks odd at first, but the more I see it, the more I like it. Does it hold more coffee inside than it appears? I have no idea, but I’m going to have fun finding out.

Yes, there are many Doctor Who TARDIS Mugs out there and you probably have several of them in your collection, so why not add this one too? Besides, it’s cool because it’s round and huge. This piece of officially-licensed Doctor Who merchandise will take your morning coffee to the next relative dimension in space. There’s no better way to wake up. Hey, the show is now “woke” and so are you.

It’s my opinion that the TARDIS should only ever have one companion and that’s coffee. Best companion you can have. It doesn’t talk, it wakes you up and it is actually helpful during an adventure. Yep, just give me a sonic screwdriver and a cup of Joe, and I’ll save the universe every time.

Sadly this mug can’t materialize itself from the table to the sink, or from the cabinet to your hand, but it’s still pretty awesome. You can grab one today from ThinkGeek for $24.99.

Fender Guitar Amp Coffee Mug Cranks Your Caffeine Buzz to 11

Posted on 10/04/2019 by Conner Flynn

You know what I love? Cool coffee mugs. You know what I hate? Cool coffee mugs that are ruined only by a square-shaped lip or other weird shape so that your drink all lands on your chest instead of in your mouth. That’s what we have here it seems.

On one hand, this officially-licensed Fender coffee mug from Paladone was designed to look like a classic Fender Twin Reverb guitar amp. That’s pretty damn cool. That weirdly shaped lip, not so much, thanks to the flat face of the mug. They call it “oversized”, but it doesn’t look that huge. I just can’t drink out of these weirdly shaped mugs, so this one will be for guests, so I can watch them wet themselves with their drinks.

But it does look awesome. We need to up the technology in our mugs. This one would be even better if it played some music when it got hot. I’d like to be able to adjust the volume too. Is that too much to ask? Meanwhile, scientists are building killer robots that do backflips and stuff. You guys have your priorities all wrong. Do robots later, and get to work on mugs that can play music.

Super Mario Bros Pipe Mug Warps Caffeine into Your Plumbing

Posted on 01/02/2019 by Shane McGlaun

I have a love-hate relationship with Super Mario Bros. I really like the game, and played it a lot back in the day on my NES. I also died a lot and remain utterly convinced to this day that the game cheated. If you’re a Mario fan, and need a way to get caffeine into your body at warp speed, this is the coffee mug for you.

This Super Mario Bros. pipe mug looks like the green plumbing you would jump into when playing the game to find those secret levels with lots of bonus coins.

I guess if you want to replicate the game experience as much as possible, you could put coins in the bottom of the mug to find after you drink all your coffee, but then again you might choke on those, or poison yourself from the metals. The mug is ceramic and hand wash only, and will set you back $14.99 at ThinkGeek.

Turn any mug into a travel mug

Posted on 01/02/2019 by Sarang Sheth

The PortaVia Universal To-Go Lid does something quite marvelous. It retrofits onto the top of any drinking vessel (mugs, cups, glasses, usually have roughly the same diameter at the lip) and instantly turns it into a travel cup that you can carry around with you without splashing your drink. It covers the mouth of the drinking vessel almost entirely, not only creating a nice seal that prevents spills, but it also helps in retaining your drink’s overall temperature, keeping your beverage hot and piping for longer, and if any of this wasn’t good enough, the PortaVia lid even comes with an integrated sipper that lets you use the cup and lid together like a travel mug with a sipper lid.

The PortaVia Universal To-Go Lid is made from food-grade BPA-free silicone. It can withstand hot temperatures, it’s dishwasher-safe, and most importantly, it grips particularly well, creating a robust seal around the edge of your mug. Designed for most mugs between the 12-20 fluid ounces, the PortaVia sits snugly on top, almost like a Tupperware lid, turning a regular cup into a cup you can walk (or even run) around with, without worrying about your drink going cold, or worse, spilling. It also makes sipping your drink on the go easier, and is a much better alternative to disposable plastic lids. Plus, the fact that the PortaVia sits so wonderfully on ceramic and glass mugs also helps reduce your dependency on plastic or paper cups. The PortaVia, with its silicone construction, can be used and reused multiple times across almost all cups, mugs, and tumblers. It’s dishwasher-safe, food-grade, stain and odor-free, and also a boon for the planet!
