@KDemo@rhandy gee I'm sorry my spelling is horrendous and spell check can't always help. deslexia and other learning disables run in my family, so maybe @JonT will be nice and delete this
@narfcake not you too LOL @KDemo@rhandy sorry I think I just took a bad day followed by an I can't sleep night out on the fist targets. I think the latest riots have been a more tan I can handle
I've bought these elsewhere, would totally buy them again if I didn't already have a few. They are awesome, absolutely never spill and they hold temperature very well.
Well fuck look who it is, Twofer Tuesday that filthy temptress. Here I am enjoying my night and BOOM there she is trying to peddle some more shit. Look lady, chill the fuck out and give a guy some space. I'd love to jump on the deal but I've gotta save up for some diapers. Suck it!!
These are absolutely my favorite travel mugs. I'm buying more because they never seem to make it back when a guest borrows one. They really never spill. My only caution is that they truly do keep drinks hot. I add a piece of ice when I am headed out of the house with hot tea.
"Vituperation"?? REALLY?!?? I thought this was a Meh website, not a fancy-ass, I-got-a-perfect-score-on-the-English-portion-of-my SATs website. Take it down a notch, Showoff.
I took a 72oz jug of coffee plus my 18 Oz travel mug to the polar plunge this year. That was just about the right amount to get me through the morning.
Easy gift for my kids to give their grandmother, their Nana, and their great-grandmother. Hell they each get one and I keep the stainless at home. For those complaining about the size, yeah I get it, I used to need a bigger one too, but now that my doctor is like Darth Sidious (the greatest Jen'ari ever), I have to watch my intake, so long story short, it works for me, so do commas. foreign-needy-mimosa or
The Irk Video (which I found hysterical and so true) plus this well timed (and I'm sure not coincidental) sale is completely irresistible to me. I use a coffee mug to take coffee on my trip to work every day. Sometimes they get lost. I've solved part of this issue by buying mediocre mugs. I've got a full slate, but two more won't hurt. And these are an upgrade over the semi-disposable ones I've recently bought.
I already have one of these (not sure if it's is contigo or not) but this will be nice for the many times I forget to wash it until the next morning when I'm rushing to be on time and realize, dammit! I have to wash the to go cup again!
One of these came in my first Fuku (not sure which size), and it's been my "on my way to work" coffee cup ever since! Fits under my keurig if I move the tray thing, and works great! I just bought 2 more (black and white), and had to really fight the urge to buy another 2!
Is this the model with the easy-clean lid? They make several different types of lids, and I've found that the models without the easy-clean lid get an irreversible funk if you drink coffee with cream and don't clean it out right away.
@moltar512 bag face guy behind sexpot blond is always creepy, then add in the nice ocean view villa, and a weapon of some kind... it becomes creeptastic!
I've already got 6 of these and still got 2 more because between using them everyday and leaving some in the dishwasher (yes you can use the dishwasher on these and errything's A-OK) I still find myself hunting for a dirty one from my bag the day before and washing it quickly in the morning. They are amazing for the metro/subway/tube/any other place where you don't want to end up having brown liquid on yourself after some dolt forgets to hang on and barges into you.
@schreibs Somehow I get the feeling you will just have 8 dirty ones/left in dishwasher and you'll still be hunting for one in your bag from the day before to clean. At least that's how I imagine it would work for me.
@lumpthar I buy a lot. Ask my wife. (She says I either need to invest in stock for mediocre or slow it down ) And I'm on the east coast. I tend to buy at the 12:00-12:01 mark ;)
Sold out at 999. You couldn't order an even 1000? Seems odd.
By the way, very happy with the other Contigo bottles that I ordered. My kid is using them for baseball. Best part is the seal -- they really don't leak.
Placed my order for a pair of mugs at 3:39am. Pleased to see it was sold out when I re-awoke. I already have a Contigo, and my wife is always using it. Glad to have a few back ups. These are the best travel mugs... almost work too well as they stay mouth-burning-lava hot for hours into a trip.
@JonT I feel a little ripped off... Not for the price I paid, but I feel this wasn't a true 2 for Tuesday. I mean I realized for that price it was only 2 mugs, but I thought they'd be in separate packaging... This feels like it's the Costco pack. 2 for Tuesday has typically been 2 retail packages, not a 2 pack from what I've purchased. I don't feel ripped off for the pricing, just the marketing of 2 for Tuesday, being 2 retail packages. Just letting you know. And @ HollBoll PLEASE don't send me more just to appease me. I don't need more :)
@narfcake Wouldn't surprise me... Being that these were sold last month I can't blame you with good conscience... and it's too late to Blame @Carl669 ... so I'll leave it alone and just say Meh.
So my dog just chewed up the plastic top to one of these. Contigo charges $7 for a replacement top (dunno about shipping)... Anybody have to replace the top to one of these and managed to do it on the cheap or come up with a sufficient substitute?
As crazy as this sounds, I just got around to using mine. I had a Contigo before and loved it, but it was time for it to be retired. Compared to my older one, this has a few key design improvements that makes me wish I used it earlier.
My chief complaint was that it worked a little too well. It kept the coffee so hot that when drinking through the lid, it would burn my tongue/lips on the regular. By the time it was cooled enough to drink comfortably, I was usually where I was going and unable to drink it.
This one has a concave area where the coffee comes out that allows more airflow and allows me to drink it more comfortably. It’s a small change but makes a big difference.
The other neat thing is the dispenser lock, which my previous model did not have.

Not bad, I don't need though, got one free from work barley use it
@Foxborn Me too. Not sure wheat to do with mine. ;)
@rhandy Ha ha, I actually use mine to take oatmeal to work.
You oat to try it.
@KDemo @rhandy gee I'm sorry my spelling is horrendous and spell check can't always help. deslexia and other learning disables run in my family, so maybe @JonT will be nice and delete this
@Foxborn - No criticism, I thought it was cute. Just gentle teasing, none of us are perfect.
@Foxborn Please don't, @jont, no matter how corny these puns get.
@narfcake not you too LOL @KDemo @rhandy sorry I think I just took a bad day followed by an I can't sleep night out on the fist targets. I think the latest riots have been a more tan I can handle
@Foxborn Isn't it rice to see people come together around a common theme (cereal punning not riots)
@Foxborn These are good for those occasional hops to the local store,
Violet, aka purple!
@narfcake hooray purple! Sharp color combo.
@narfcake I love purple.
@narfcake paging @Barney
@Barney hope you bought before they sold out! Purple opportunities don't come along every day.
@RedOak It's @JonT's attempt to bait Barney into buying things... Just keep putting purple things up!
Very meh
7 mehs in a row, this site is losing its touch meh out
does it really still count as a two for Tuesday if the product automatically comes sold as two?
@Nexar we get 4 right?
@Nexar I certainly don't think so. In similar situations, before, we would be getting four mugs. I feel cheated.
well crap just saw in the writeup "You get two mugs in your choice of color scheme", they keep thinking of everything.
Why such small containers?
@yakkoTDI I use a 24 oz at the office and 18 oz at home. The 18 oz is too small. The 24 oz is about right. I can't image how much I might hate 14 oz.
@shortman I can image how much you might hate it:
@ChunkyBitz You totally get me!
@shortman So true I was totally going to get this until I saw it was only 14 oz. Way to small to be of any use to me.
I've bought these elsewhere, would totally buy them again if I didn't already have a few. They are awesome, absolutely never spill and they hold temperature very well.
I wish the baby arms and eyeballs were included. At least there is a violet/purple option and almost Georgia Red.
Well fuck look who it is, Twofer Tuesday that filthy temptress. Here I am enjoying my night and BOOM there she is trying to peddle some more shit. Look lady, chill the fuck out and give a guy some space. I'd love to jump on the deal but I've gotta save up for some diapers. Suck it!!
My 40-oz vacuum insulated thermos is barely enough. No way 14-oz is.
These are absolutely my favorite travel mugs. I'm buying more because they never seem to make it back when a guest borrows one. They really never spill. My only caution is that they truly do keep drinks hot. I add a piece of ice when I am headed out of the house with hot tea.
I agree with the others, 14 oz. is way too small. Of course, the next problem is getting those mega-cups to fit into our car's cupholders… grrrr…
"Vituperation"?? REALLY?!??
I thought this was a Meh website, not a fancy-ass, I-got-a-perfect-score-on-the-English-portion-of-my SATs website.
Take it down a notch, Showoff.
And stop picking on my boyfriend, Irk.
This is easily the best travel mug I have ever owned, I use it every day even just around the house. Love it.
I took a 72oz jug of coffee plus my 18 Oz travel mug to the polar plunge this year. That was just about the right amount to get me through the morning.
fuzzy-nimble-tea
Looks like the Christmas shopping might be starting early this year. Also one for the husband. So many coffee-stained tee shirts...
@sinless I Christmas shop year round 😁
The mental image of two stressed-out businessmen taking a break to put on bibs and carefully sip some consommé was very amusing, thanks meh.
In for 2. playful-squalid-lumber
@Perkalicious I know where you are coming from, but what the huh? is that a picture of?. .. ?Escher's childhood treehouse?.
14oz? I wanted to buy several colors sets, but even 20oz is too small. Damn. These are great and look cool, why 14oz, why!!!
@Superjimtendo think summer... and MARGARITAS
@alacrity In the case of margaritas, 32oz would be more appropriate.
gods these are awesome travel mugs- but at 14oz, i'd need to carry both...
"There is absolutely no soup-oriented equivalent to Starbucks" umm.. cough http://www.zoup.com/locations.html
@Alien88
@Alien88 "with a cool GreenZ! salad" .. I refuse to do business with companies that abuse the letter Z in such fashion.
@thismyusername mine is REAL!
@awk ha, yeah they go a little overboardz with the z stuff. They do have good soup, however!
exponential-lopsided-chicken
@potestasx That's actually an awesome picture! Poor chicky...
What do ya mean I gotta supply my own eyeballs?
Easy gift for my kids to give their grandmother, their Nana, and their great-grandmother. Hell they each get one and I keep the stainless at home. For those complaining about the size, yeah I get it, I used to need a bigger one too, but now that my doctor is like Darth Sidious (the greatest Jen'ari ever), I have to watch my intake, so long story short, it works for me, so do commas.
foreign-needy-mimosa
or
"Too Small..." (that's what she said)
@brotendo64 Did she notice it's nearly 8 inches long, hard as metal, stays warm for hours, and doesn't spill a drop of liquid?
@awk batteries not included in very very small print
for coffee- useless as teats on a nun.
tenuous-needless-fact
for frozen margaritas- these are f'n awesome
@alacrity
@AlohaSnackbar my point, exactly.
The Irk Video (which I found hysterical and so true) plus this well timed (and I'm sure not coincidental) sale is completely irresistible to me. I use a coffee mug to take coffee on my trip to work every day. Sometimes they get lost. I've solved part of this issue by buying mediocre mugs. I've got a full slate, but two more won't hurt. And these are an upgrade over the semi-disposable ones I've recently bought.
Aaagh, I just can't rationalize buying even more right now, but we have a couple and they are really terrific.
These were $15 for two at costco. Sorry Meh.
@givemeyoursoul Found that as well - great close out. I'd take 10,000 of them at that price.
I already have one of these (not sure if it's is contigo or not) but this will be nice for the many times I forget to wash it until the next morning when I'm rushing to be on time and realize, dammit! I have to wash the to go cup again!
One of these came in my first Fuku (not sure which size), and it's been my "on my way to work" coffee cup ever since! Fits under my keurig if I move the tray thing, and works great! I just bought 2 more (black and white), and had to really fight the urge to buy another 2!
Is this the model with the easy-clean lid? They make several different types of lids, and I've found that the models without the easy-clean lid get an irreversible funk if you drink coffee with cream and don't clean it out right away.
@KeyserStoze Your problem isn't the lid, it's that you drink your coffee all wrong! It should be black and bitter. All fluids are better like that!
@KeyserStoze Yes - these are the current generation ones.
Will these be shipped using ceramic mugs as dunnage?
@G1 too soon...I still remember the tiny shards of ceramic stabbing as I picked up the box.

Why is this picture so creepy?
@moltar512 bag face guy behind sexpot blond is always creepy, then add in the nice ocean view villa, and a weapon of some kind... it becomes creeptastic!
I'm in! Why not. miraculous-brutish-cabbage
Baby Arms.
I've already got 6 of these and still got 2 more because between using them everyday and leaving some in the dishwasher (yes you can use the dishwasher on these and errything's A-OK) I still find myself hunting for a dirty one from my bag the day before and washing it quickly in the morning. They are amazing for the metro/subway/tube/any other place where you don't want to end up having brown liquid on yourself after some dolt forgets to hang on and barges into you.
@schreibs Somehow I get the feeling you will just have 8 dirty ones/left in dishwasher and you'll still be hunting for one in your bag from the day before to clean. At least that's how I imagine it would work for me.
I'm an East-coaster, and I managed to buy a pair.
insincere-better-honey
@lumpthar I buy a lot. Ask my wife. (She says I either need to invest in stock for mediocre or slow it down )
And I'm on the east coast. I tend to buy at the 12:00-12:01 mark ;)
@sohmageek My magic time is about 5:45 am ET. It's magical.
Phew. That was close.
Finally, something good but missed it. How Irk-some!
@bitbear Ditto! I would have click "buy" so fast, but they were sold out.
@bitbear Same here. I was even awake at 3am but just went back to sleep...is the got still @carl669? darn him!!
@chellemonkey i missed them as well. damn you me!!
Darn you Left Coasters! Sold out before I woke up this morning! Stop being so selfish!
I can't really believe this sold out. Do you people REALLY like travel mugs or are you so easily impressed that those AUTOSEAL lids reeled you in?
Does this make 5 straight sellouts? Looks like @snapster is having a successful run of reaching his goal of sellouts.
Sold out at 999. You couldn't order an even 1000? Seems odd.
By the way, very happy with the other Contigo bottles that I ordered. My kid is using them for baseball. Best part is the seal -- they really don't leak.
@pitamuffin sold out at 1k, 2 units result of cancelled order post the sale ending
@snapster i'll take em. i offer you 3 grapes and a banana.
@carl669 sounds like your goat gift is all figured out.
@snapster So when this happens, why doesn't the item go live again to sell the final 2 units? Just curious.
@mehdaf i'll take it!
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I'd love to see a Kickstarter Green! or Lime Green, or Construction Cone Orange! Then I can find it on my desk easily.
Sold Out. . . for that alone, spill.
Placed my order for a pair of mugs at 3:39am. Pleased to see it was sold out when I re-awoke. I already have a Contigo, and my wife is always using it. Glad to have a few back ups. These are the best travel mugs... almost work too well as they stay mouth-burning-lava hot for hours into a trip.

California is mighty thirsty, based on the sale.
Wow.Almost 1000. Impressive
@naropa
@AlohaSnackbar great post, I loved that show.
@JonT I feel a little ripped off...
Not for the price I paid, but I feel this wasn't a true 2 for Tuesday. I mean I realized for that price it was only 2 mugs, but I thought they'd be in separate packaging... This feels like it's the Costco pack. 2 for Tuesday has typically been 2 retail packages, not a 2 pack from what I've purchased.

I don't need more :)
@sohmageek I believe these actually were made for Costco. The 6-digit article number is an indicator.
@narfcake Wouldn't surprise me... Being that these were sold last month I can't blame you with good conscience... and it's too late to Blame @Carl669 ... so I'll leave it alone and just say Meh.
@sohmageek that's 'Mister Goat Emeritus carl669', thank you very much.
@carl669 Next month, I'll be "hooray-I'm-not-goat-anymore" narf. :) And as suspected, these are ex-Costco's. http://costcocouple.com/contigo-pinnacle-thermal-mug-set/
@narfcake like gangrene on an infected wound, the goat badge grows on you. you'll miss it when it's gone.
So my dog just chewed up the plastic top to one of these. Contigo charges $7 for a replacement top (dunno about shipping)... Anybody have to replace the top to one of these and managed to do it on the cheap or come up with a sufficient substitute?

The other neat thing is the dispenser lock, which my previous model did not have.
TL/DR. It’s better and I like it better.
@ACraigL
Thanks for sharing, keep coming back!
Hey I could use another set. Could our awesome meh buyers get some more.
