@troy ... If you're an ice hound like me then on soda won't quite fit but I just take a couple sips and refill, no problem. I don't use coffee in these as that's reserved for meh contigos.
@yakkoTDI ... I also have the Bubba 24 but these hold the ice over night which is awesome and I drink soda daily then go out and become active to get rid of it which is the secret to staying healthy. Couch potatoes don't follow through thus old age doesn't suit them as well when they soda.
@Humper i'm from ohio, and i always thought that was the case - it seems pretty obvious looking at a map. But it seems like in general usage people always mean "not NYC or Long Island."
@Humper Those of us who live in NYC consider ANYTHING north of NYC (even Yonkers) to be "upstate", as we have no access to several state services (such as BOCES) that the rest of the state (and even "Long Island" - everything east of Queens) has access to. The way tax money is distributed here, I think the governor (a guy from Queens) thinks so too...
@Humper I'm from NJ and I lived in Oneonta for awhile. I called it upstate NY, all my friends said I was wrong. I still call it upstate, but now I live in ME so no one cares.
The primary concern of each issue was to tell a compelling story in 22 pages, a story that didn't require that you had read the last 75 issues to understand.
Umberto Eco, R.I.P., describes this beautifully in his article, "The Myth of Superman". Explains everything, even predicted Aunt May coming back from the dead. Well, after a fashion.
@mike808 Long ago, when the mighty Google was yet a mere principality with barely a thought of the mighty dominion to come, and the screeching of modem tones was heard throughout the land, mankind had few options for obtaining knowledge. Chief among them were slabs of wood-product known as "books", predecessors of the modern ebook, within which were thin leaves on which were permanently inked the words both of the ancient and the not-so-ancient. These were produced by the thousands, then by the millions, frequently sold, often collected, and occasionally read.
In the time of Clinton, the greatest and most well-known of the places where one might buy books was the ancient enterprise begun in the declining years of the Ottoman Empire, which had passed for a time into the hands of two men, and continued under their names, lo, even unto the present day! There was even a movie with it as a plot device! And that firm was, is and forevermore shall be known by its former owners' names... Barnes and Noble.
@FroodyFrog Cool! I'll check it out after I stop in at Circuit City next door. Since this Barnes & Noble place deals in rare books, do you think they have any from S&H Greenstamps?
@FroodyFrog I saw that; is this their third or fourth time coming back from bankruptcy? I look forward to more closeout pricing on brand-name electronics at their next bankruptcy!
I swore to myself I would never buy another Bubba product after their water bottles took my crew (of 8 year olds) all of 5 minutes to break. Crap product. Never again.
But two pieces of crap for the price of one? I'm in!
@cation maybe you got a bad Meh. mug, mine don't leak, however, if they fall over when full of hot coffee, they don't do well at maintaining their contents (i field tested this)
Got these last time. Loved them for morning smoothies. Getting them again so I can be a slacker for a longer period of time between running the dishwasher.
Thanks Meh for adding to my growing problem of procrastination.
I now own 8 of these and I am not the least bit ashamed. Not one bit. All my other crappy tumblers are going to charity (including the behemoth 24oz'ers!)
Have the blue ones bought from meh last time. The 20oz tumbler has a wider opening than the 24oz version ,easier to clean, fits in cup holder and easier to load ice cubes from fridge. In for a pair of rose gold!
@nymatsui we like both models, but that smaller (outside threaded) opening on the 24 makes it pour nicer. And easier to screw on. And easier to drink from. And it fits in all the cupholders of our primary travel vehicle.
Cleaning it is no big deal - the dishrag or sponge on the handle-end of a big wooden spoon.
Once again, meh until Zojirushi. Not that they'll ever sell their incredible product cheap enough for bottom-feeders like this site. C'mon, i need a speaker dock or a knife.
My wife says i used to be a real person but I can't help it, I just keep buying.. I think it's those shiny things that keeps drawing me in (bickering-unruly-existence).
Didn't realize I was quoted in the specs post until I checked my email. Let me reiterate here: Bubba has great customer service. They quickly replaced my cup with me sending proof of having broken it, even though I broke it acting like a dumbass. A web form, a couple pics, a new cup in the mail. Highly recommended.
You are selling the best product ever made in the history of ever. Bubba does what it says it does and not many products do that anymore. Instead of writing about what an awesome product Bubba is you write a college length paper on super heros? Meh for sure Meh.
@dino2269 I may be in the minority here, but I enjoyed the rambling essay that explains clearly what is wrong with comics and what is starting to go wrong with the movies. I used to be a comic book retailer, and everything he said was true, as it is what drove the casual audience out of the store, and reduced customer base to the people who came in on Thursday nights, turning the stores into a ghost town the rest of the week. Thank you for vocalizing the problem, but as my thesis advisor told me, "where's the solution...?"
@OnionSoup I write on mine with a sharpie. the message is good for a couple weeks and when it washes off, you can replace it with another demotivational mehssage!
Great tumblers... but, wow, they're big. If that's ok, or even what you prefer, grab them and you'll be very happy. But just bear in mind that they are very tall in the cabinet.
Drinking my morning coffee out of one of these right now and I'm in for two more. I love these things! I learned the hard way just how long it keeps your coffee hot. I burnt the hell out of my mouth for the first week until I remembered to vent it for a while.
In for 2. I picked these beauties up last time and the larger size is a bit too large for coffee and just on the small side for water. The 24 oz are what I like to call third wheel size, awkward. Looking forward to making the correct size cup of coffee to go. Loyal-Bardic-Treatment
@sjk3 Haha, I was wondering the same thing. Then quickly decided I didn't care too much. I'll brew and dump if they're too tall.. Funny how I jumped online to search for mugs today and Meh (who I haven't shopped in quite awhile, but will remember to check daily, again) had these. 4x Smoke pleaseeee
I found my 20 oz Bubba tumbler from a previous sale. While it is narrow enough to fit a car cup holder, it is too tall to fit in my Keurig machine. A 16 oz tumbler will fit fine.
I still have some spares in my 'forgot somebody's birthday' box, but I need the rose gold for me. pressed-careful-toothbrush didn't even have repulsive images, so a pretty figurehead. I'm saving ammo for @mfladd's turn as goat later this week.
For a a bunch of folks that claim they could try harder, that was a well-conceived and thoughtfully executed write-up. With the understanding it had very little to do with thermos cups, I kinda thought you hit it out of the park with this one.
Thank you for confirming my overall thinking regarding the recent glut of superhero movies. I've never been a dedicated fan of comics or comic book movies, and the concerted effort to create tie-ins and references that basically force me to watch all the movies to fully appreciate one is too much of an entry barrier. Toss in the crazy oversimplified characters/conflicts inherent in most superhero movies, and I'm out. I can't wait for everyone to eventually tire of of the whole setup so we can move on to the next fad.
Oh, and I'd be all over this deal if I didn't already have two 20oz Thermos vacuum sealed tumblers that work very well and see little use (yay for working remotely!).
Anyone know if you can purchase silicon sleeves for these? Actually I am looking for sleeves for the 24-ounce Hero Classic bottles that I purchased back in July. I have a side mesh pocket on my backpack that is made to hold a water bottle. When I put the bottle in the pocket and if I drop something and bend to pick it up, the bottle falls out. I have a thermos bottle with a silicon sleeve that stays put. I did send a couple emails to Bubba via there online help page but did not receive any response.
I never really understood that. It seems to me to be a rhetorical question, because, the way I see it for a lot of people, while they may not physically die, I'm sure that a tiny bit of the brain goes on extended leave.
Sloppy potential solution - wrap wide rubber bands around the tumbler. Friction.
Potentially even sloppier - you know that rubber dip stuff in a can, where you dip a tool to put a rubber coating on it? That. Dip the tumbler. Friction.
@RedOak You can get that stuff in a spray can now. Plasti Dip. So one could potentially mask off a custom pattern on the side of the mug and spray on a fancy grippy section.
@jimmyd103 I rather like to say I need a "secretary" than a personal assistant... or with me being an artist with some business ideas maybe a manager (if I could find a real one, who believed in me - a live in impresario - that would be ideal).
@fjp999 Or I could just do as my parents did and put my kids to work. Although I highly doubt that that is even permitted today. I'm sure there is some precedent legal verdict that prohibits this.... Probably end up with my kid hiring an attorney and making me pay the legal fees.
@jimmyd103 Honestly you are not asking much (carry your stuff and pick up your shit when you drop it) your kids are probably going to do that stuff when you're crazy old bat shit any ways - good that they get use to it and get paid for it when they are young!
Oh no not again. I bought these last fall and absolutely love them. Does its job. Keeps hot...hot and keeps cold...cold with very little ice for hours. Size is great for the car back and forth during 1 hour commute as well as at the office.
I was both impressed and disappointed when these arrived today. I wasn't expecting them this early, and was hoping something else was in the package when I opened it, but I was impressed at how quickly the warehouse staff got these out. Good job!
When are you selling more? Bought 2 and son and hubby laid claim. They work great, need mine (and a two-fer would give us a spare). Pleeeeeeeeease. 0.0
@mollama Keep checking daily. Last week, these were offered at Mediocre’s sister site, morningsave.com, which means they probably still have inventory.
Since this has been bumped back up, I just wanted to say again how impressed I am with this company’s customer service. The flapper on one of the lids arrived broken and I contacted Bubba for a replacement lid. I sent them pictures of the broken lid and they told me they’d send out a replacement in a couple weeks. I got it much, much sooner and they sent a new mug and lid. So, I still have more mugs than lids, but that’s okay.
I also liked the rose gold better because the rim on the mug is rounded so it would be more comfortable to use lidless than the original blue and gray ones I bought. If you sell these again, I doubt I’ll be able to resist, even though I already have seven.
@narfcake WHAT?!?! @cshillaber’s writeups are exaggerated? I… I… I’m speechless. Next thing you’re going to tell me is that you and @PurplePawprints really don’t like purple?
@PurplePawprints there must have been some kind of curse in the air.
Inexplicably, the flapper hinge on my beautiful, big, Bubba 24 broke a couple days ago. (After heavy daily use.) Thank goodness for my backup big Bubba 24.
Anyway, agreed, while the replacement lid has not yet arrived, the warranty claim/approval process is slick and fast!
@RedOak now to be dougy downer, but when i filed a claim for the 24 oz lid breaking, they promptly sent me a 12 oz plastic bubba thingy, oops, since then they have been less than responsive - hope you have better luck
@jbartus I stopped drinking soda/pop/coke years ago. (Even went through a Mountain Dew phase.) Moved on to other vices. And I prefer beer in a bottle, sometimes insulated with the nearest handy foam thingy.
but it’s little flippy, closey lid, thingy was busted - i’m torn on if asking for that to be replaced is within good morale bounds, what say yeee aMeh.ricans?
@DMlivezey that flippy thing is one of the things explicitly listed on their reasons for a warranty claim drop down menu. So there shouldn’t be any moral dilemma… unless the user abused the tumbler. That is explicitly excluded from coverage.
OK, so it took about 2 weeks from the point of the online warranty claim(broken 24 ouncer flippy flap as mentioned directly above) for the replacement to arrive. Not bad for a completely free process… and way over-delivered vs the promised 5-8 weeks.
What I got? Not just a new cap, but a complete tumbler of the new design. The flap is redesigned and the cap has more “funnel” to it. And it is single-tone black. The caps are interchangeable on the cup part tho.
Pictures of the original tumbler (my backup), the new one, and a 20 ouncer for reference:
… and a surprise I should have previously noticed - Bubba Brands is a Rubbermaid (NewellRubbermaid) company. (From the packing slip paperwork)
Good to see Rubbermaid slowly climbing out of the doldrums with nice stuff like Bubba’s after being driven into the arms of soul-less Newell by the predatory purchasing and marketing practices of wallyworld.
@RedOak i still don’t have my replacement, they sent me the wrong thing (which was broken), and after a cupla follow ups, still no satisfaction, Meh., butt i meh.be repeating old news, not much has changed butt i have bugged them again to no avail
@DMlivezey without knowing all the details, perhaps start a new warranty claim?
That would open a new ticket that would be difficult for them to ignore.
When the system auto-replies requesting photo evidence, include both your broken one and what they sent. Ideally annotate the photo using an app like Skitch, “Mine” & “What was sent”.
This process might be outsourced. In which case the vendor gets paid by the “claim” (ticket).
Does anyone have any of these that they want to sell? We lost my fiancé’s rose ones in a move and she’s absolutely crestfallen because she used them every day. Help!

@Stallion
I bought a pair of these last time in blue and they are fucking marvelous.
@versabox "mehvelous"
Must resist more of these cups! But I've them so much!!
@chellemonkey just succumb, then you can move on
I gotta find Bubba!!!!!!
@rapiollymega .. I think that particular dude is in cell block three..
Tumbling into tonight's deal-twice !:)
If these were 24 oz. I would stock up. At 20 oz. I will think about it and risk a sellout.
@yakkoTDI The 4oz sacrifice is worth it for the slim design... you just gotta make your brew 20% stronger!
@troy ... If you're an ice hound like me then on soda won't quite fit but I just take a couple sips and refill, no problem. I don't use coffee in these as that's reserved for meh contigos.
@unkabob I would use these for coffee only. Much as I love soda I rarely drink it due to wanting to live to be old, healthy and grumpy.
@yakkoTDI I got the 24oz bubbas also but use these WAY more because of the shape.
@yakkoTDI ... I also have the Bubba 24 but these hold the ice over night which is awesome and I drink soda daily then go out and become active to get rid of it which is the secret to staying healthy. Couch potatoes don't follow through thus old age doesn't suit them as well when they soda.
I would get these if they also had a Meh logo on them. Either Meh Bubba or Bubba Meh. Whatever.
@heartny ... Well your halfway there.. Gotta marks-a- lot..?
@unkabob Sharpie would probably do the trick.
@heartny ... You're a good sport.
I'm growing my bubba collection....
Not really Upstate NY, but I guess I'll settle for it since not many people ACTUALLY know that Upstate is north of Albany, not north of NYC.
@Humper fgfjfdhgdhdjf Rockland native here and you made me angry even just mentioning this
@Lotsofgoats
(Off topic: not sure why you left Rockland, [I'm assuming you did] it's home to the most marvelous wonder in the world: me)
@Humper i'm from ohio, and i always thought that was the case - it seems pretty obvious looking at a map. But it seems like in general usage people always mean "not NYC or Long Island."
@FroodyFrog well cuz it's too far of a commute, of course
@Lotsofgoats
Yeah, that could do it i suppose.
@Humper Those of us who live in NYC consider ANYTHING north of NYC (even Yonkers) to be "upstate", as we have no access to several state services (such as BOCES) that the rest of the state (and even "Long Island" - everything east of Queens) has access to. The way tax money is distributed here, I think the governor (a guy from Queens) thinks so too...
@Humper I'm from Rochester- we considered it to be upstate.
@Humper I'm just outside of Albany and everyone I know considers anything an hour drive or so North of NYC upstate.
@Humper Catskills person here - please don't shatter my upstate illusions.
@sammydog01 @pjdeeb @Froggy56 are all basically from Canada
@Humper I'm from NJ and I lived in Oneonta for awhile. I called it upstate NY, all my friends said I was wrong. I still call it upstate, but now I live in ME so no one cares.
I'm from California and visited New York before, it's all Manhattan to me.
@Lotsofgoats Are not, you hoser. But I could see Canada from my house.
The primary concern of each issue was to tell a compelling story in 22 pages, a story that didn't require that you had read the last 75 issues to understand.
Umberto Eco, R.I.P., describes this beautifully in his article, "The Myth of Superman". Explains everything, even predicted Aunt May coming back from the dead. Well, after a fashion.
@stinks If I'm reading about the myth of superman, I'm gonna stick with Larry Niven's version.
@mike808 I laughed my ass off in the middle of Barnes & Noble when I read that story. Oh God, the sketches...
@kensey What, pray tell, is this "Barnes & Noble" thou speaketh of? Alas, poor B&N, I knew him not.
@mike808
It's right across the street from Blockbuster ;)
@mike808 Long ago, when the mighty Google was yet a mere principality with barely a thought of the mighty dominion to come, and the screeching of modem tones was heard throughout the land, mankind had few options for obtaining knowledge. Chief among them were slabs of wood-product known as "books", predecessors of the modern ebook, within which were thin leaves on which were permanently inked the words both of the ancient and the not-so-ancient. These were produced by the thousands, then by the millions, frequently sold, often collected, and occasionally read.
In the time of Clinton, the greatest and most well-known of the places where one might buy books was the ancient enterprise begun in the declining years of the Ottoman Empire, which had passed for a time into the hands of two men, and continued under their names, lo, even unto the present day! There was even a movie with it as a plot device! And that firm was, is and forevermore shall be known by its former owners' names... Barnes and Noble.
@FroodyFrog Cool! I'll check it out after I stop in at Circuit City next door. Since this Barnes & Noble place deals in rare books, do you think they have any from S&H Greenstamps?
@mike808 No idea, but both of these stores are just down the block from the Montgomery Wards, right?
@mike808
It's funny you mention Circuit City...
http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/27/circuit-city-is-coming-back/
@FroodyFrog I saw that; is this their third or fourth time coming back from bankruptcy? I look forward to more closeout pricing on brand-name electronics at their next bankruptcy!
I swore to myself I would never buy another Bubba product after their water bottles took my crew (of 8 year olds) all of 5 minutes to break. Crap product. Never again.
But two pieces of crap for the price of one? I'm in!
@cation I know nothing about their water bottles, but I do know their mugs are the best things ever. Plus, their warranty is pretty amazing, too.
@PurplePawprints the warranty for their water bottles was good, but I bought 3 of them on clearance and only one made it 3 days.
But I bought one of the Meh coffee cups and it just isn't working for me.
@cation use the Meh. coffee mug as a pencil holder, your friends will be impressed
@DMlivezey I am worried it would dribble pencils as it does coffee. I mean, those pencils are sharp.
@cation maybe you got a bad Meh. mug, mine don't leak, however, if they fall over when full of hot coffee, they don't do well at maintaining their contents (i field tested this)
@cation I have no doubt a group of 8-year olds could find a way to break into a bank vault, much less break some tumblers...
Love the Bubbas. Love the 24's even more, but the 20's are great as well. Stock the gift closet. No cheap crap, these.
Tip: flip the flap open when screwing the top on a really full tumbler to release the pressure and prevent ooz/splatter.
I have so many of these, but they are the best mugs ever and I don't have Rose Gold yet, so in for two!
@PurplePawprints I was thinking the same. I hate you meh! In for two Rose Gold.
A reluctant Meh. I need that extra 4 ounces of coffee on a daily basis...
@marvelljones Everybody knows a 40oz of coffee is where it's at.
Hence them selling two 20 ouncers. Duh.
Got these last time. Loved them for morning smoothies. Getting them again so I can be a slacker for a longer period of time between running the dishwasher.
Thanks Meh for adding to my growing problem of procrastination.
@rhcurry02 don't think of it as a problem, here's the proof:
hard work - pays off in the long run
procrastination - pays off right NOW!
I slightly regret buying the meh cups now.
@narfcake sympathies.
@narfcake they're pretty nice too, and have a logo (until you wash them a few times :) )
@DMlivezey Few? You're doing better than I am. Hand wash #2 already took a bit of the imprint off mine.
@narfcake I don't. I am getting these too.
in what world is that rose gold?
follow-up question: can rose gold stop being a thing?
@Lotsofgoats It's a girlie color. Or a secure man color.
@RedOak I mean it's certainly a color, but these read copper to me
is rose gold just copper with better marketing?
@Lotsofgoats @RedOak
It's all in the marketing.
@Lotsofgoats More like copper
More gender neutral.
the meh. cups are nice for show, but these are great - buy as many as you can
all in for as many as i can, i just had the best warranty replacement experience ever with bubba, even though it was due to me dropping the thermos
I now own 8 of these and I am not the least bit ashamed. Not one bit. All my other crappy tumblers are going to charity (including the behemoth 24oz'ers!)
@troy can I be your charity for those wonderful, lumberjack 24's?
Have the blue ones bought from meh last time. The 20oz tumbler has a wider opening than the 24oz version ,easier to clean, fits in cup holder and easier to load ice cubes from fridge. In for a pair of rose gold!
@nymatsui we like both models, but that smaller (outside threaded) opening on the 24 makes it pour nicer. And easier to screw on. And easier to drink from. And it fits in all the cupholders of our primary travel vehicle.
Cleaning it is no big deal - the dishrag or sponge on the handle-end of a big wooden spoon.
With deep tumblers and mugs I get really frustrated that I can't fit my hand inside them in order to thoroughly clean them.
@cercopithecoid I like this brush set from OXO because it includes smaller brushes to get inside trickier areas like spouts.
@jqubed I have this set of brushes. Great value for the price!
@cercopithecoid Better yet get one of these.
@cercopithecoid
Dishrag or sponge on the handle-end of a big wooden spoon. Works great. And the insides are very nicely smooth so easy to clean anyway.
@jqubed I have the other Oxo bottle brush. I prefer having the bristles all the way around. Either way, as always, Oxo makes great stuff. Can never recommend them enough.
https://www.oxo.com/products/cleaning-laundry/sponges-kitchen-brushes/bottle-brush
Once again, meh until Zojirushi. Not that they'll ever sell their incredible product cheap enough for bottom-feeders like this site. C'mon, i need a speaker dock or a knife.
@danpritts Don't knock 'em til you've tried 'em. These Bubbas really are excellent.
On reading your comments, I'm in for a set. I hope the husband's dress shirts are spared from here on out. 👔
@Sansoona screw the top on properly (flap open when twisting on to release pressure) and use proper mouth control. No dress shirt worries.
I enjoyed that write-up, @Saskatoon.
Wow, good job, Swype. I think I'll leave that even though I'm in the edit window. This was meant for you, @JasonToon.
Thanks for showing the interiors in the pictures, whoever did that. These look like they might show my tea ok as I'm adding milk to it.
Image search was not at all what I was expecting, and borderline NSFW, so here's the video result for heartsick-jumping-panther instead:
@jqubed hey, there's a million dollar idea! Builtin LED lighting for the tumbler insides!
@RedOak If only they came with Bluetooth.
@OldCatLady Speakers!
@jqubed Bubba LED speakers!
My wife says i used to be a real person but I can't help it, I just keep buying.. I think it's those shiny things that keeps drawing me in (bickering-unruly-existence).
I've been waiting on these - I got (only) two last time, and everyone loves them. Now: Bubba for all!
Didn't realize I was quoted in the specs post until I checked my email. Let me reiterate here: Bubba has great customer service. They quickly replaced my cup with me sending proof of having broken it, even though I broke it acting like a dumbass. A web form, a couple pics, a new cup in the mail. Highly recommended.
Also: the 20oz tumblers will fit in bicycle water bottle cages, if necessary.
@djslack ditto, i have a new one on the way too based on your post
@djslack great info - handy for hauling a hot coffee back from the coffee shop.
@djslack
I sent pics of 3 that had broken “flappers”, got 3 new 20 oz shipped out in about 3 or 4 days! YAY BUBBA!!!
My designed-corny-pizza will be here soon! Missing hte lids from the last two that I bought, so need to get new ones. sigh.
You are selling the best product ever made in the history of ever. Bubba does what it says it does and not many products do that anymore. Instead of writing about what an awesome product Bubba is you write a college length paper on super heros? Meh for sure Meh.
@dino2269 I may be in the minority here, but I enjoyed the rambling essay that explains clearly what is wrong with comics and what is starting to go wrong with the movies. I used to be a comic book retailer, and everything he said was true, as it is what drove the casual audience out of the store, and reduced customer base to the people who came in on Thursday nights, turning the stores into a ghost town the rest of the week. Thank you for vocalizing the problem, but as my thesis advisor told me, "where's the solution...?"
Got two of these back before Christmas and ended up giving my mom one as a gift. In for two to restock! fitful-selfish-quail
@kensey
Could no longer resist, they kept whispering, " Take me home, I'm sooo lonely, and bring my sister too, k?" I'm a sucker for strays.
@JasonToon ...This is the best superhero genre analysis ever! Shame it'll be gone at midnite. Bravo! Oh... the cups? meh.
I cry a little inside whenever @studerc doesn't post about that filthy lil' temptress 10 minutes past midnight. ::sigh::
@hems79 Me too. I miss reading about the janky ass pawn shop on the wrong end of town :-(
2 for Tumblers, eh? I'm going back to sleep.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!
I have a policy of only drinking out of mugs that say Meh on them so I have to pass.
@OnionSoup I write on mine with a sharpie. the message is good for a couple weeks and when it washes off, you can replace it with another demotivational mehssage!
I'll take 4 copper and 2 charcoal. Er, rose gold and smoke. Whatever.
apathetic-older-ball
Can I buy these even though I'm not a gymnast?
@Not_Ken_M only if you're not Ken M.
Great tumblers... but, wow, they're big. If that's ok, or even what you prefer, grab them and you'll be very happy. But just bear in mind that they are very tall in the cabinet.
I love my bubbas. Best tumblers ever!
We are going to get quite the workout lifting 20 ounces so many times each morning.
@Ken_M may as well lift a barbell because you can't drink from those
@Kevin I haven't been to a bar in years.
@Ken_M are you the legit Ken M?
Wife said no more cups. Time to create a 2nd stealth account.
@caffeine_dude or have a friend get them for you.
These mugs have changed my life, and the life of everyone around me, because I won't stfu about them!
I made it a year and a half without buying a single cup. Now I have 3 Meh cups and a pair of these on the way. Screw you @lotsofgoats
aggressive-paramount-iodine
Drinking my morning coffee out of one of these right now and I'm in for two more. I love these things! I learned the hard way just how long it keeps your coffee hot. I burnt the hell out of my mouth for the first week until I remembered to vent it for a while.
@PanicSwitch So, lawsuit???
@madmaxmedia Eh I've got a history of dumb common sense injuries like that. I'd have no case.
@PanicSwitch Well, if you post that here then you definitely have no case!!! ;-)
In for 2. I picked these beauties up last time and the larger size is a bit too large for coffee and just on the small side for water. The 24 oz are what I like to call third wheel size, awkward. Looking forward to making the correct size cup of coffee to go.
Loyal-Bardic-Treatment
Will these fit under a Keurig machine, if you remove the drip pan?
@sjk3 Good news. These tumblers dont have a drip pan...
@sjk3 Haha, I was wondering the same thing. Then quickly decided I didn't care too much. I'll brew and dump if they're too tall.. Funny how I jumped online to search for mugs today and Meh (who I haven't shopped in quite awhile, but will remember to check daily, again) had these. 4x Smoke pleaseeee
@sjk3 Depends on your model. At home, no. At work, yes. Pro tip, just scootch the Keurig up to the edge of the counter.
@sjk3 To follow up on myself...
The answer is no.
I found my 20 oz Bubba tumbler from a previous sale. While it is narrow enough to fit a car cup holder, it is too tall to fit in my Keurig machine. A 16 oz tumbler will fit fine.
I have a drinking problem...
My drinks aren't cold long enough :)
OMFG!!!...
I just ordered my 7th item from meh this month.
WTF is wrong with me? My wife is going to take my Internet away
ifwhen she finds out!@2many2no Blame @Lotsofgoats!
I still have some spares in my 'forgot somebody's birthday' box, but I need the rose gold for me. pressed-careful-toothbrush didn't even have repulsive images, so a pretty figurehead. I'm saving ammo for @mfladd's turn as goat later this week.
Have to pass, love the color but that graphic is creepy and I can't be getting creeped out before coffee.
@Vertabrae Graphic? You mean the last photo? That's not real, the only graphic on these is the 'bubba' logo. Unless that freaks you out of course...
For a a bunch of folks that claim they could try harder, that was a well-conceived and thoughtfully executed write-up. With the understanding it had very little to do with thermos cups, I kinda thought you hit it out of the park with this one.
Nicely done.
Thank you for confirming my overall thinking regarding the recent glut of superhero movies. I've never been a dedicated fan of comics or comic book movies, and the concerted effort to create tie-ins and references that basically force me to watch all the movies to fully appreciate one is too much of an entry barrier. Toss in the crazy oversimplified characters/conflicts inherent in most superhero movies, and I'm out. I can't wait for everyone to eventually tire of of the whole setup so we can move on to the next fad.
Oh, and I'd be all over this deal if I didn't already have two 20oz Thermos vacuum sealed tumblers that work very well and see little use (yay for working remotely!).
My name is @cbilyak and I am a Bubba addict. In for 3 more feathery-majestic-cardinal.
@cbilyak Welcome to the Bubbanonymous meeting.
I have enough travel mugs. How about some more rope light thats priced lower that the manufacturer wants you to sell it for.
Anyone know if you can purchase silicon sleeves for these? Actually I am looking for sleeves for the 24-ounce Hero Classic bottles that I purchased back in July. I have a side mesh pocket on my backpack that is made to hold a water bottle. When I put the bottle in the pocket and if I drop something and bend to pick it up, the bottle falls out. I have a thermos bottle with a silicon sleeve that stays put.
I did send a couple emails to Bubba via there online help page but did not receive any response.
@jimmyd103 bend at the knees
@Lotsofgoats Reading that in my head in the voice of my mother. So, thanks Mom.
@jimmyd103 and would it kill you to call me every once in a while
@Lotsofgoats
I never really understood that. It seems to me to be a rhetorical question, because, the way I see it for a lot of people, while they may not physically die, I'm sure that a tiny bit of the brain goes on extended leave.
@Lotsofgoats Guilty. Sorry Mom!
@jimmyd103
Sloppy potential solution - wrap wide rubber bands around the tumbler. Friction.
Potentially even sloppier - you know that rubber dip stuff in a can, where you dip a tool to put a rubber coating on it? That. Dip the tumbler. Friction.
@RedOak You can get that stuff in a spray can now. Plasti Dip. So one could potentially mask off a custom pattern on the side of the mug and spray on a fancy grippy section.
@jimmyd103 I am not sure if this would work here is a link for non slip placemats $2. Cut it into strips. Duct tape is always good.
@jimmyd103 Also, quit dropping things! Or use the rubber bands to attach the things you drop to your person. Problem solved.
@RedOak I have done the rubber bands. They work okay. Not the most sophisticated looking.
@djslack i really need a personal assistant to carry my stuff for me and to pick my shit up when i drop it.
@jimmyd103 I rather like to say I need a "secretary" than a personal assistant... or with me being an artist with some business ideas maybe a manager (if I could find a real one, who believed in me - a live in impresario - that would be ideal).
@fjp999 Or I could just do as my parents did and put my kids to work. Although I highly doubt that that is even permitted today. I'm sure there is some precedent legal verdict that prohibits this....
Probably end up with my kid hiring an attorney and making me pay the legal fees.
@jimmyd103 Honestly you are not asking much (carry your stuff and pick up your shit when you drop it) your kids are probably going to do that stuff when you're crazy old bat shit any ways - good that they get use to it and get paid for it when they are young!
i gots the Bubs
Oh no not again. I bought these last fall and absolutely love them. Does its job. Keeps hot...hot and keeps cold...cold with very little ice for hours. Size is great for the car back and forth during 1 hour commute as well as at the office.
I was both impressed and disappointed when these arrived today. I wasn't expecting them this early, and was hoping something else was in the package when I opened it, but I was impressed at how quickly the warehouse staff got these out. Good job!
I was very impressed. Keeps coffee hot for hours. Doesn't spill ... perfect! Thanks Meh!
Freaking awesome
When are you selling more? Bought 2 and son and hubby laid claim. They work great, need mine (and a two-fer would give us a spare). Pleeeeeeeeease. 0.0
@mollama Keep checking daily. Last week, these were offered at Mediocre’s sister site, morningsave.com, which means they probably still have inventory.
@narfcake They are back on morningsave.com. They use VMP too- free shipping and a %10 discount.
Since this has been bumped back up, I just wanted to say again how impressed I am with this company’s customer service. The flapper on one of the lids arrived broken and I contacted Bubba for a replacement lid. I sent them pictures of the broken lid and they told me they’d send out a replacement in a couple weeks. I got it much, much sooner and they sent a new mug and lid. So, I still have more mugs than lids, but that’s okay.
I also liked the rose gold better because the rim on the mug is rounded so it would be more comfortable to use lidless than the original blue and gray ones I bought. If you sell these again, I doubt I’ll be able to resist, even though I already have seven.
@PurplePawprints Are you related to @cshillaber? If so, you forgot the stars.
@Barney Big difference. @PurplePawprints’ writeup is real. @cshillaber’s writeups are real … exaggerated.
@narfcake WHAT?!?! @cshillaber’s writeups are exaggerated? I… I… I’m speechless. Next thing you’re going to tell me is that you and @PurplePawprints really don’t like purple?
@PurplePawprints @Barney @narfcake either way be sure to pick up VMP, you can’t beat the value!
@PurplePawprints there must have been some kind of curse in the air.
Inexplicably, the flapper hinge on my beautiful, big, Bubba 24 broke a couple days ago. (After heavy daily use.) Thank goodness for my backup big Bubba 24.
Anyway, agreed, while the replacement lid has not yet arrived, the warranty claim/approval process is slick and fast!
All our baby Bubba 20’s (6) are running smoothly…
Report end.
///
@RedOak now to be dougy downer, but when i filed a claim for the 24 oz lid breaking, they promptly sent me a 12 oz plastic bubba thingy, oops, since then they have been less than responsive - hope you have better luck
@DMlivezey ouch. Not cool. Especially a teenie weenie Bubba 12. What good would that be? Carrying shots?
@RedOak Carrying one full size can of soda (beer)?
@jbartus I stopped drinking soda/pop/coke years ago. (Even went through a Mountain Dew phase.) Moved on to other vices. And I prefer beer in a bottle, sometimes insulated with the nearest handy foam thingy.
@RedOak oh, hey! great idea…
but it’s little flippy, closey lid, thingy was busted - i’m torn on if asking for that to be replaced is within good morale bounds, what say yeee aMeh.ricans?
@RedOak I was just noting 12 oz. sized beverages suitable for a 12 oz bottle.
@DMlivezey that flippy thing is one of the things explicitly listed on their reasons for a warranty claim drop down menu. So there shouldn’t be any moral dilemma… unless the user abused the tumbler. That is explicitly excluded from coverage.
@RedOak We all need to band together to stop tumbler abuse.
OK, so it took about 2 weeks from the point of the online warranty claim (broken 24 ouncer flippy flap as mentioned directly above) for the replacement to arrive. Not bad for a completely free process… and way over-delivered vs the promised 5-8 weeks.
What I got? Not just a new cap, but a complete tumbler of the new design. The flap is redesigned and the cap has more “funnel” to it. And it is single-tone black. The caps are interchangeable on the cup part tho.
Pictures of the original tumbler (my backup), the new one, and a 20 ouncer for reference:
@DMlivezey tag
… and a surprise I should have previously noticed - Bubba Brands is a Rubbermaid (NewellRubbermaid) company. (From the packing slip paperwork)
Good to see Rubbermaid slowly climbing out of the doldrums with nice stuff like Bubba’s after being driven into the arms of soul-less Newell by the predatory purchasing and marketing practices of wallyworld.
@RedOak i still don’t have my replacement, they sent me the wrong thing (which was broken), and after a cupla follow ups, still no satisfaction, Meh., butt i meh.be repeating old news, not much has changed butt i have bugged them again to no avail
@DMlivezey without knowing all the details, perhaps start a new warranty claim?
That would open a new ticket that would be difficult for them to ignore.
When the system auto-replies requesting photo evidence, include both your broken one and what they sent. Ideally annotate the photo using an app like Skitch, “Mine” & “What was sent”.
This process might be outsourced. In which case the vendor gets paid by the “claim” (ticket).
Does anyone have any of these that they want to sell? We lost my fiancé’s rose ones in a move and she’s absolutely crestfallen because she used them every day. Help!
