Iconic coffee cups
Does anyone have an iconic coffee (beverage) cup? Below is what I consider the quintessential example which I've had for 20 years. It's rather classic as it is cylindrical-ish, has a handle and can hold multiple types of liquids.

Lol, she is stunning!
Mine is more of a modern redemption of a classic tool cup as she holds coffee and cigars. Not old enough to be iconic yet.

Cigars? Dual purpose, indeed.

A true tool cup with new, yet unmistakeable, classic lines. Perhaps an homage with much future potential. Well done, dear sir.

Nope I could't afford Mon's watches.

When I first started at the PD it was my job to order all of the PR items, I was constantly getting samples sent to me from all kinds of advertising companies. Most of the stuff I'd give to the guys to take home to their kids but this I kept for myself. I've been using this same mug pretty much for the past 28 years or so.
