Teltech - The Knowledge to Compete

This week's mug is a true find!  I came across it while out browsing thrift stores.  On the left side of the mug is the company name, TELTECH.  (My research finds it to be Native American Women owned!) along with the phone number and "...the knowledge to compete


On the right side of the mug is a chaotic scene of a man trying to get work done on time, but is having trouble as his priorities and deadlines are getting away from him, and his desk shows more problems than solutions.  His laptop is sleeping on the job, the clock shows LATER and LATER in red and tells him 'No Lunch' and 'No Dinner'. The pressure of his day is making him red in the face. 

When hot liquid is added, the chaotic scene disappears.  The missing priorities and deadlines are gone, as is the time issue.  The clock now says everything is On Time and Under Budget. The man is now whistling while he works! 

What makes this such a find, is that the color change is TWO COLOR!  The brown areas and red all turn clear to reveal the solution being TelTech.  These mugs were, most likely given to customers as a way to emphasize their affect on the customer's business.  

The Company was founded in 1999 so these mugs are from around that time or early 2000s.  The mug is in almost new condition.
