4-Pack: Asobu 14oz Porcelain "Jewel" Mugs
- Get a 4-pack of these 14 ounce mugs that are FALLING OVER!
- Just kidding! That’s an optical illusion.
- Unless they are actually falling over. They’re not, like, fall-proof.
- Made from high-quality porcelain and with an interior glaze that matches the handle.
- You can’t mix-and-match colors, unfortunately.
- Model: MUG220. Amazing that throughout history there have only been 220 variations to the mug!
(M)Ugh!
There are 2 reasons to buy not 1, not 2, but 3 whole 4-packs of these Asobu Porcelain “Jewel” Optical Illusion Mugs:
REASON 1
You will take one mug out of the first box and marvel at its high-quality porcelain, its matching glaze on the inside and the handle, its “soft and silky” exterior. You will place it down on the table to see how it creates the optical illusion that it’s leaning forward.
Then you will leave it there, only to see it again later, forget the trick it’s playing, and lunge for it in order to keep it from toppling over. Only, in lunging for it so recklessly, it is possible you will actually topple it over and break it.
It is likely that this will repeat itself at least once. So you will be down from 12 mugs to 10. And that’s assuming you are the sole user of the mugs. Your spouse, for example, or roommates, or children, may each break 1-2 additional mugs. And together you might break even more mugs, as, ironically enough, one person lunging for a perceived-to-be-toppling mug and one person defending what they know to be a not-actually-toppling mug are more likely to destroy a mug than if the lunger were left to their own devices.
Eventually, though, everyone in the household will acclimate and overcome their preconceived gravitational notions. At this point, it will be good that you ordered extra mugs, as these extra mugs will replace the other mugs that topple over and that you don’t even attempt to catch as you now assume every mug that topples is a mere optical illusion. Or, conversely, you will topple these standard mugs as you will now be so used to mugs that appear to be toppling (but aren’t) that you will begin to think of the act of toppling as its inverse. By which we mean, normal, firmly-upon-the-table mugs will make you uncomfortable, causing you to grab furiously at them in an attempt to “right” them, only in doing so, you will cause them to actually topple.
Then your friend will come over for coffee, and you will want to show off your new cool porcelain mugs, so you will set it down for them. At this point your friend will lunge for the mug, which they think is toppling, thus knocking it over and smashing it, just as you have done before. But this will only happen once, as your friend will be put off by way you have your head cocked constantly to the side, or the strange lean you walk with, and they will cease to visit.
In this way, despite buying 12, you will only have a net gain of about 4 mugs.
REASON 2
More color variety!
