Never get mugged by reality again.

Some problems, by their very nature, only reveal themselves at the worst possible moment. A defective parachute. Weak bear repellent. A crappy server that can’t handle bagloads of traffic.

And the lack of a clean travel mug. You got places to be, man. You don’t have all day to hunt through that drawer full of water bottles and spatulas, and Heaven forfend you have to stop and wash a dirty one.

The only way to avoid this eventuality is to overprepare. Load yourself up with so many travel mugs, you’ll never be short of one on the way out the door. These Stanley Mugs do the job of holding liquid without leaking or spilling. And they’re so cheap, you can afford to buy six, so they’ll do the equally important job of just being the hell there when you need 'em.

It’s like having an enchanted chalice that returns to its home after you use it. As Arthur C. Clarke didn’t say, any sufficiently discounted travel mug is indistinguishable from magic.
