Denny's Christmas - Snowman

This is the second in the Denny's restaurant Christmas Series.  On the right side of the mug is the iconic Denny's logo. 

On the left side, there is a colorful snowy scene with a snowman's sillhouette, complete with sticks for arms, pipe and stove pipe hat. 

 

When hot liquid is added, the snowman clears to show a puddle with the sticks, pipe and hat floating in it, along with the words "I would have preferred something cold."

The color change is great, and the mix of graphics is a great  use of the magic ink.

Denny's Christmas - Reindeer

Denny's restaurants sold several magic mugs in the mid to late 1980s.  For the next 4 weeks, I'm going to list one of each of a set of 4 of these mugs.

On the right side of this mug is the iconic Denny's  Logo. 

 

 On the left side of the mug is a reindeer on a snowy field of blue.

When hot liquid is added, the reindeer's brown color clears to reveal green antlers, bright holiday lights around his neck and Rudolph's glowing red nose! The color change is quick and near complete.

F-117A Radar #2

This week's mug comes from the military once again.  This F-117A mug is similar to another F-117A mug  I posted just a few short weeks ago.  On the left side of the mug is a large dark area bordered by blue sky and white clouds. 

On the right side of the mug is a shadow of the plane on a drawing of a radar. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the large dark area clears to reveal the F-117A in flight.

And the shadow on the radar clears to show a radar screen with nothing on it.

US Space Shuttle

This is another of my favorite mugs. On the left side of the mug it shows the US Space Shuttle on it's launching pad against a blue sky.

On the right is the well known logo for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the launching pad and gantry disappear revealing the shuttle just lifting off, it's rockets bright and clouds of smoke erupting as it lifts off.

The color change is good, and the mug is in great condition.
