The cups we drink from say more about us than we think

It’s a small thing, the mug on the desk. But it’s visible all day, to you and to anyone who enters the room. It’s there in the morning, at the lunch meeting and at the three o’clock coffee that you really shouldn’t have but have anyway.

That’s quite a lot of exposure to a vessel that most people choose at random.

Why the mug actually matters

People pay attention to mugs. It is one of the few objects on a desk or in a kitchen that actually carries a message, and that message is repeated every time someone looks that way. A mug with the right motif starts conversations, creates recognition and says something about the owner without the owner having to say a word.

That’s pretty effective communication for a coffee cup.

WrongShirt mugs have designs that are made to create just that, a reaction, a smile or a slightly confused look from the colleague who doesn’t quite get it. All three are acceptable outcomes.
