SPECIAL INCLUSION: MAGIC TEAKETTLE!

Thanks to a very dear friend who loves to send me things for my collection, I now have this incredible Chefman Magic Ink Electric Teakettle!  

The unit is brand new, and holds 1.7 liters. The color appears to be a dark brown in these pictures, but is actually near black.

Once plugged in, the unit heats up quickly and the entire body changes from dark to bright red.  I was very impressed with the speed at which is heated a full pot! 

The teakettle sits on its own base to heat. Lifts off to serve. 

As said, it's brand new, complete with this great box and manual.

Attack on Titan

This mug is from an anime (Japanese Style Animation) series called ATTACK ON TITAN. The anime is set in a world where humanity lives within cities surrounded by enormous walls that protect them from gigantic man-eating humanoids referred to as Titans.  One person sets out to fight the titans after one destroys his home city.  This is the reason for the word FIGHT, which appears wrapped around the mug in a bold black font. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the black letters clear to reveal full color scenes from the animated series.  

The mug is brand new, and comes in its own special 'mug style' box.

Batman and The Bats

This is another Batman mug, but one with the new style.  The mug is all black, with the very recognizable Batman Logo on both the left and right side of the mug. Also interesting is that the insides of the mug is light blue (where most of this type are white!) 

When hot liquid is added to to the mug, the entire mug clears to reveal Batman in comic form along with his many, many bats!  The comic covers the entire 3 sides in a wrap around design. The Batman logos remain in the center of both sides of the mug. Unlike many mugs of this new style, the handles do not change.  

This mug comes with a full color retail box! A very nice addition when finding new mugs!

COLORADO Mountains

Just in time for Labor Day, it's a great visit to my favorite place: Colorado.  This mug is a great 'tourist' purchase, which features a totally black mug on all three sides.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire mug clears to reveal a picture postcard shot of the great Rocky Mountains!  The design is a full wrap around, and the color change even affects the handle.  

This mug also has a great point of purchase label, which shows the design and some advertising stating how the mug changes.

Harry Potter - Marauder's Map

This mug is highly sought after by more than just Magic Mug collectors. It is from the Harry Potter book and movie series.  Above you can see the right side of the mug has the well known phrase "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" in stylized design.  The Left side of the mug features the main emblem from the Marauder's Map.  Across from the handle is another emblem with the words "Itinerarium Maraudentium" (Fictional Latin for Marauder's Map) along with "Messers Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs are proud to present"

When Hot liquid is added, the entire mug clears to reveal footprints in paths all over the mug. All of the design work is more clearly seen, too. 

This is a brand new mug, and even came in its own full color box.

Don't Be A C*ntasaurous

This week's mug is rather adult in nature, so if adult words and phrases insult you, please refrain from viewing this week's post.  Continuing to read this post is your passive agreement to accept these and that you are adult enough not to be insulted by such things.

Adult children can be a wonderful way to stay young.  My girls sent me this mug "just because" and I considered it one of my favorites almost immediately,  As you can see, there is a cute cartoon dinosaur on both the left and right side of the mug

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the design reveals a phrase beside the Dinosaur in a cute cartoon font. It says: "Don't Be A Cuntasaurous"  A phrase we all should live by. 

This is, of course, a new mug, in terrific condition.  It even came in it's own plain blue box appropriately labeled "Funny Ceramic Mug."  

I even had coffee with it one morning, which places it in a special group.

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire - Employee Question

This week's mug is a retail mug featuring Regis Philbin as host of the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" game show.  On the right side of the mug is the show's logo with Regis Philbin holding a fan of money.  On the left side of the mug is a set of question and answers in the style of the show:

THE AVERAGE EMPLOYEE IS
A: OVERWORKED            B: UNDERPAID
C: ON BREAK      D: ALL OF THE ABOVE

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the area between the question and the answers clears to reveal the phrase "FINAL ANSWER?" and the area below the answers clears to reveal the correct answer, "D: All of the above" along with the phrase "YOU GOT IT!"

The mug is near new, and in terrific condition.  Color change is also near perfect.  A great addition.
