UPS


This week's mug comes from UPS (United Parcel Service) and features the UPS Logo on the right side of the mug, above the phrase "WE RUN THE TIGHTEST SHIP IN THE SHIPPING BUSINESS."

On the left side of the mug is a standard UPS Delivery truck driving up an incline, below which is a large dark triangle.  
When hot liquids are added, the triangle clears to show both a UPS branded airplane and a double tractor trailer rig accenting the size and scope of the UPS fleet.  

This is one of my first mugs and the color change is good, though not as clear as I'd like.   UPS gave these mugs out to companies they did business with as well as to employees.

Chocolate Passion

This week's mug features an almost full wrap around design, showing a chocolate bar with the label reading "Chocolate Passion" and "The Chocolate Lover's Chocolate" in stylized print.

On the left side of the mug the chocolate bar is unwrapped and a bite has been taken out of it in the upper corner.
When hot liquid is added to the mug, the chocolate bar area clears to reveal the phrase "I Love You Even More Than CHOCOLATE!"

This mug was a retail purchase mug, available in gift stores.  The color change is good, and the mug is in great shape overall.

Phillips Builders

This week's mug is from Phillips Builders, Inc.  On the left side of the mug is a dark area in the shape of a house.  In the center is the name Phillips Builders, Inc.  Just to the left of the design is their logo.


When hot liquid is added to the mug, the house shape clears to reveal the corporate name change, "Formerly Randall Phillips and Phillhall Corp."  These mugs were given out to commemorate and establish the name change during the late 80's.

The mug has a unique 'half wrap around' design, with the logo on the front of the mug.  The color change could  be better, but it's good enough to show.

Evolution by Design

This mug is from a design campaign called "Evolution by Design."  The left side of the mug has the name "Evolution by Design" above a logo featuring a 91.
When hot liquid is added to the mug, the dark logo design clears to reveal the phrase "Make it Happen." Little can be found on this campaign so I will refrain from guessing.  I enjoy the mug for its design and it's a great addition to the collection.
