explanation: the elements in the “Breaking Bad” logo are not the ones in the mug:

I think they prefer to use the first letter of a different syllable. Mendelevium was once
Mv, but neverMe, it seems.

I’ve seen some similar periodic table crap recently. I’ll going to guess it’s some AI bullshit.

I thought at first, but that Mg turned into M is lazy human work

Yeah, I’d guess this is non-conputer-assisted failure, too. Here’s the font file, you can see that there are alternative glyphs that could have worked but they just kinda farded and shidded their way through it.
