RCA Megachanger

This week's mug comes from RCA and is a rather simple mug advertising the RCA Megachanger. The Megachanger was a CD Changer that held more Audio CDs than the usual at that time.  (My research did not turn up any of these, so I can only guess at the number of discs that the 'Megachanger' held.) The mug was probably a giveaway with the purchase of the Megachanger. 

The left side of the mug has an unusual pattern on it at the bottom of which is a large dark space.

On the right side of the mug is the RCA letter logo in red.

When hot liquid is added, the space at the  bottom clears to show the name "RCA Megachanger."   (This example is a bit microwave damaged, but it does change.)

UPS 85th Anniversary

 

This week's mug is from United Parcel Service and is commemorative of their 85th anniversary.  On the left side of the mug is a detailed logo showing the phrase "85 Years of Growth" above a UPS emblem and "Delivering our Future" in blue.

On the right side of the mug is a large brown package, complete with bow.

When hot liquid is added, the package and bow clear to reveal the UPS logo.  This particular mug doesn't change as quickly nor as fully as it should, but it is still a great addition to the collection.

AFCOM - ASSOC. FOR COMPUTER OPERATIONS MANAGERS

That's quite a title for this weeks Mug.  It does, in fact, represent the Association for Computer Operations Managers, as printed at the top of the design.  This mug features a full wrap around dark area which surrounds two cartoon men.

When hot liquid is added, the entire dark area clears to reveal a full office of computer operators and the additional phrase "AFCOM - Bringing Operations Professionals Together.

 

As I am, in fact, a computer operator, this mug has a special place in my collection. The change is quick, though not as complete as I'd like, but still a good mug.

TRESSA

This mug is from Tressa hair management system.  The left side of the mug has the words "Changing The Way You Look" around a drawing of a large rectangular mirror.  Below the mirror is the company name, TRESSA followed by an asterisk.

When hot liquid is added, the mirror clears to reveal an odd curly design. There is no information on this as to whether it is a logo or not.  The mug has a quick change, and very colorful. There is little history on this mug but it appears to be the type that is free with purchase or given to customers.
