Denny's Til Dawn

In the 1980's and 1990's Denny's had several magic mugs for retail purchase as well as premiums.  Taking a break from Christmas mugs, here is Denny's "Til Dawn' mug, which was used to promote their 24 hour restaurants.   The right side of the mug shows the iconic Denny's mug and the stylized 'Til Dawn' logo used in the 24/7 campaign. 
On the left side of the mug is a dark oval with a tired face and sleepy eyes.   (The oval on this mug is not as dark as it should be due to UV, Microwave damage, or general use.)
When  hot liquid is added the tired sleepy face clears to show a happy, smiling face with rosy cheeks, ready to face the dawn.  Around the outside of the face are the words "Denny's  Til Dawn"

The color change is quick and near complete, even though the color is more transparent at the beginning which would indicate damage to the Thermochromatic Ink.  


DESIGN:  1+ Sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color

  1. I just found myself one of the ornament mugs! I was curious if you have discovered the best way to care for these mugs. Hand wash only?
