GLOBAL WARMING MUG


Sure to be a topical topic of conversation, this mug shows off the adverse effects of that annoying global warming. Just pour in a hot cup of coffee, and the ocean starts to spread across the continent as ice caps melt and water levels rise. A pleasant reminder to take care of the planet and knock down your carbon dioxide emission. Made in China.

For best results:
Use hot liquids or heat in microwave for one minute. May take a minute for disappearing effect to occur.

Doesn't Last Very Long
By passerby from Bay Area, CA on 10/28/2009
Gift:
Yes
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

I love this mug which was given to me by a good friend of mine at Christmas. I used it for hot coffee and hot tea. I never microwave it nor in dishwasher. I always hand-wash it. In about 5 months, the heat-sensitive film began to show and peeled a little. You would have bits of rubbery material on your fingers when you hold the mug with hot drink in it. I stopped using it since then.

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

This gift went over great as a recognition gift for the CIH I gave it to. The underside has a hidden joke. Don't be fooled, despite the picture, this is ONE mug, not two. Change is not dramatic, but still neat. Don't expect a change from moderately hot liquid. It needs to be popped into the microwave.

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend who's a meteorologist. He thought it was hilarious! He uses it for coffee or hot cocoa and it's worked great so far. I've seen this mug before in museum shops and it was more expensive there than the what it is from this website [...]

Service & Delivery comments:

It shipped quicker than I expected and was in perfect condition when I received it!

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

This cup is great to entertain your guests and is a funny add-on to any breakfast, lunch, or dinner set-up. It does give a slightly funny, slightly depressing mood to the meal (in the way that it shows what will happen soon enough if we don't stop polluting, we all know the facts). But its a great story to tell to any friends or family over, and is a perfect conversation starter :).

great, but with an ironic twist
By Stay GreenVerified Buyer from California on 4/8/2009

Yes
Pros:
Microwave Safe
Cons:
Not Dishwasher Safe
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

The mug is a great quirky gift for scientists and environmentalists. It's message is about reducing CO2 emissions and developing alternative fuels. Unfortunately, it's made in China, so had to be shipped overseas on a diesel burning tanker. They couldn't find a place in the US to make these and therefore have a smaller carbon footprint???

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

I bought this as a gift for an environmental friend of mine, and he thought it was great. It's really fun to watch the coastline fade away from bottom to top, and it's a great conversation starter at work. He also loves that, in using a mug for his coffee, he is being more green, and he likes to joke that by drinking the coffee he is in fact "combatting global warming" (as the coastline returns when the empty mug cools).

Comments about GLOBAL WARMING MUG:

I loved this mug when I received it as a gift from a friend through UG. I had actually been wanting to get it for myself for some time. It was so fun to see the continents wash away when the mug got hot.

But after about a month, much of the continents just peeled off permanently and I am left with a very drowned and damaged planet.
