cup

There is no fun in being an expert in physics if you can’t screw with people sometimes. This Cup of Tantalus looks a little odd with the question mark shaped protuberance in it, but no one is going to guess what kind of mess it will make. Once you get the glass filled to a certain point the liquid will begin siphoning out of the bottom. The pourer will have no clue what is going on other than knowing there is red wine pouring all over his carpet. If you get any complaints, just tell them you were trying to educate them on a little physics.

Much like the Pirate Coffee Mug before it, this Jack o’ Lantern version can illuminate your pumpkin spice latte with LEDs.

These egg cups are an amusing way to serve up some eggs in the morning. But seeing my eggs served with actual chicken feet on them would make me feel a little guilty. Not that it would stop me from eating, but there would be just a bit of an uncomfortable feeling as I did.

The true purpose of the Dignity Mug is to provide a secure two-handed grip for those who have arthritis or limited strength in their hands. On the flipside, it could also prove useful for the jittery hands of the over-caffeinated.

It’s like having three cups of coffee in one! Or at least I think it is. If the cup can be filled from top to bottom it would be fantastic for caffeine addicts.
