    Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.

      I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

        I think it’s for any motor vehicle where tipping is likely. See this page with all sorts of pictures and examples, including old packaging.

      It’s very practical if you’re somewhere without inertial dampeners.

      Is the wider section actually hollow? I was imagining they might just have a normal round shape inside due to it being more difficult to mold.

      No way am I able to clean that without a bottle brush. I’ll sick to a standard mug.

        This seems like the kind of thing you’d need either a dishwasher, or one of those cafe rinsers that spray water up into the thing to clean.

        You’d never be able to get your hand into the corners.

    DS9 had at least two different kinds of flared mugs: the HotJo, which is still sold for $30, and the Feltman Langer, which is no longer sold, but this CherryTree is recreating.

    I would not be able to properly control the flow rate of hot beverage directed at face with that design. Still love that look

    Don’t get me wrong, they get points for the Coolness Factor, but am I the only one who thinks this is genuinely a terrible design for a mug? Like, I have a hard enough time getting the coffee rings out of my cylindrical mugs, I don’t even want to imagine the finger cramps I’d get trying to clean this one (or worse, the mold that would certainly grow if I didn’t deep clean it every time)

    Finally! Been looking for these for a long time that weren’t stupidly overpriced!

      They’re 30 bucks…

      source
      • stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s still a lot of money for a mug, but compared to the $150-$300 they’re selling for on eBay it’s a great deal!

    The jingle is a nice add-on, though a white-coloured print may have been clearer.

      It’s interesting that they didn’t bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.

      • veeesix@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        You’re probably right that the math didn’t add up for them.

        Might be worth getting a pad replacement for the original cup and slapping that on yourself.

    Very tempting! All the other ones I’ve seen are quite expensive.

    I need this.

    Neat, a mug that looks like a bullhorn
