Bloomberg Financial Markets

This week's mug is from Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News and this is printed on both sides of the mug at the top.  On the right side of the mug there is also a dark brown square below the title.  

When hot liquid is added, the dark brown square clears to reveal graphs labeled "Graph Monitor."  These are, no doubt, ties to commodities and the fluctuating commodities markets.  

This mug was given to both employees and business clients for Bloomberg.

Medical Office Systems Conglomerate

This is a really interesting mug from a Medical Office Conglomerate.  On two sides of the mug is a dark orange square with a deer's head in dark brown.  There is no name visible until the change occurs. 

When hot liquid is added, both the deer and the orange square clear to reveal the company's 800 phone number and the names of its company offices, each with its own name.  Elk Valley Health Systems, Mid-Sate Medical Equipment, Mid-State Pharmacy, Elk Valley Home Health Care, Maury Home Health Care, Cedar Creek Home Health Care, Gericare Home Health Care and Oneida Home Health Care.  At the top is the phrase "One Call Does It All."

This is a beautiful mug, with great graphics and has a two color change.

Disney's The Lion King

This is another mug from the beginning of my collection. It is a Disney© Magic Mug with a full wrap around design from the movie "The Lion King."  This scene is one of  the most memorable, where Simba sits in the Veldt at night looking at the sky, and his father's face shows up in the stars.  The full wrap around design shows Simba on the left side of the mug and the Veldt stretches across the other two sides. 

When hot liquid is added, a part of the night sky clears on the right side of the mug, showing Simba's father's face in the night sky. One of my favorites and one of my daughter's favorites, too!

Like a Thief in the Night

This is the second mug in the set of two I picked up last week.  It is also a wrap around design, showing the outline of a city at night with a crescent moon and stars above.  In the lower right is the phrase "©LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT"

When hot liquid is added, the entire design clears to show buildings with their lights on, and the figure of Jesus Christ in a bright blue sky with rays of yellow coming from behind him.  

This is a beautiful use of the thermochromic change and I look forward to finding more in this series.

The King is Coming

In my collecting of these incredible mugs, I've found mugs from just about every industry.  This last weekend, I found two mugs from a different perspective, Christian Religion.

This first mug shows a drawing of the sky, with a bunch of fluffy clouds.  Upper right of this wrap around design is a dark blue area of sky.  To the lower right, is "© THE KING IS COMING"

When hot liquid is added the dark blue sky clears to show a light blue sky, with rays of light coming from the figure of Jesus Christ.  The mug is like new and the color change is quick and complete.  

Next week, I will post the companion to this beautiful mug.

Atlanta 1996

This week's mug is from the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.  On the left side of the mug is a large dark area, with a pattern of leaves above the words "Atlanta 1996" (separated by the Olympic Torch.) Notable on this mug is a gold rim (though it is unsure if it is gold flake or just a gold paint.)

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire dark area clears to reveal a light area with the leaves in dark green ink above a dark green quilt like pattern.  Sold at the Atlanta Games, this is a great souvenir mug.

Coreg Prescription

This is a really pretty mug from Coreg prescription medicine.  On both the right and left side of the mug is the logo and generic name for Coreg: Carvedilol.  On the front of the mug is a purple shape, reminiscent of a paint brush colored haphazardly. 

Wen hot liquid is added, this brushed design clears to show a modern heart shape.  Coreg is for high blood pressure, and to prevent heart disease, so a heart is a great addition to this design.

This is a beautiful mug, with a great color change.  It is the kind that is given to Drs' offices to advertise the product.
