Incidentally, did you know the scrap value of the copper in the Statue of Liberty is worth less than $500,000?
Since the sculpture is made of sheets of less than 1/4" thick, and actually closer to 3/32" thick copper, she only has 80 tons of copper if you want to check my math.
Also, officially her title is: "Liberty enlightening the world"
Just when I thought all was lost, Twofer Tuesday arrives...she's drunk as fuck, but here nonetheless. She mutters something pretty much incoherent, but I believe she said. "Buy this stuff, otherwise, fuck you." Unfortunately, diapers are still more important.
@studerc Man you cant help being an idiot can you ? yelling what part hurt your ears? oh wait i made your eyes hurt ..stfu ty in advance is that mellow enough for you?
@unkabob I was your friend for a while but you never showed up to my parties. I kept telling people "Bob's gonna be here". Then when hours passed and no Bob, the people would ask "What About Bob"?I know a rather long post just to get a terrible movie reference in. Movie great...joke bad.
@KyesDad .. I could still be your friend, must'a had a hearing problem during those invites (I'm all for free food) then again could'a been that darn movie.. I really thought it was about me so I kept going, hoping it would have a different outcome.
i was given a set of these, but since i don't drink that particular concoction- i use em as coffee mugs instead. they work pretty good, unless i leave a cup for a few hours and find the inside a whole lot brighter.
@sourhead. The Stanley Cup is the only "sweet nectar" anyone in Chicago's gonna drink for a while: Cubs (hell no), Bulls (not even with the new coach), Bears (nope), Sox (no where near close).
@PhysAssist Whatever - the whole idea of this drink is that the flavor / mouth feel is based on reaction with copper - which neither of these mugs will provide. You may as well use a Big Gulp cup - the net result will be the same.
With these (mostly) copper mugs, now the margaritas won't be the only ones with drink-specific vessels. Bide your time patiently, sangria, for one day you'll have your own fancy designated glassware and I won't have to drink you straight from the carafe.
@Notrobocop I ordered two sets, and I pray it does not for either of us...?!?!? I suspect we're safe as long as we don't start saying that we discovered and were enjoying Moscow Mules long before the mugs were available on Meh...
I bought just to feel classier whilst drinking my cheapo beers at home....did I make a poor decision? Perhaps. Am I too intoxicated to care & have zero desire to make an actual Moscow Mule ever at home? Sure am!
I'm in for 4 of them. I've been needing some pure copper Moscow mule mugs and these are perfect. I went for pure copper because I love the taste of pennies.
Woo! I believe I've finished all the noob meh achievements with the "1st repeat item that I've already purchased" and "Provided an 'item experience' comment based on previous ownership." ehem: The pure copper mugs hold liquid like nobody's business. As long as you keep them on a flat surface. You can't not replace these with anything! Achievement Unlocked
worried-disallusioned-story here. For the record. I am neither worried nor disillusioned at the current moment. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@PhysAssist Thanks for confirming my hopes that there is at least one other genius on this site. I was starting to get disallusioned and worried. Oh and for the record, spell check wants to change disallusioned to disillusioned. There is a spelling error in my Order #! Perfectly meh I guess.
I bought 2 last time but never opened them up yet. This past weekend I was out at a snazzy steak restaurant and drank down 4 mules. Damn they were good! Can't wait to start mixing them up myself.
Living nearby Russia I can tell you nobody in Moscow or Russia in whole doesn't give a shit about this cocktail or anything resembling it. We don't even drink ginger ale here at all. Of course, most likely you know that, but quick reminder may be helpful for someone.
@bczf Drink was originated in CT. not moscow and its ginger beer not ale big difference to the taste which is awesome nice clean drink with a bite afterwards.. enjoy
So the whole idea of this drink is that it reacts with copper to "make" the taste. And you people are fawning all over cups that are either NOT copper... or COATED (as in you won't touch the copper) copper. Okaaaaaay......
@Lotsofgoats For my part, I plan on using a dishwasher to degrade/remove the lacquer coating to aloow the reaction, but you might get it from the uncoated outside where your lips touch the uncoated metal anyway...
Wow, I didn't think these would sell out so quickly! I had decided not to buy at midnight, but at 9:30am I thought maybe I should.. Alas, I was too late!
Is this the point where I should blame the time zones?
@Stallion Very true, but I doubt they'll return at a time when I can get them before July 23rd (my dad's birthday).. haha.. Oh well, time for a plan B present!
@Stallion I'll just come up with another gift idea.. I thought of that this morning, which is why I hadn't purchased them at midnight.. I'm sure I'll think of something else
@Lazarpandar I just don't eat in Indian restaurants- problem solved! Oh, but I still get adequate RDA's of Basmati, Tabuli, Curry, etc, because I have Indian friends- and home cooked naan bread is seriously better than any I ever had from restaurants.

DO NOT DISHWASH THESE! THE COATING IS TERRIBLE
(The pure copper ones)
@giroro what kind of coating do they put on pure copper?
@jjohns71 Terrible. Duh.
@jjohns71 Probably something like a 'food-safe lacquer to preserve luster.'
@brhfl Touche, but what's the scrap melt value of the lacquer?
@jjohns71 I guess you can find out if you dishwash them :D
@brhfl Which also strips off the lacquer to allow the electrochemical buzz!
Nooooooo... Not this again!
Incidentally, did you know the scrap value of the copper in the Statue of Liberty is worth less than $500,000?
Since the sculpture is made of sheets of less than 1/4" thick, and actually closer to 3/32" thick copper, she only has 80 tons of copper if you want to check my math.

I'd rather have some speaker docks
@somf69 I thought I read "speaker socks". I got a litttle excited.
Just when I thought all was lost, Twofer Tuesday arrives...she's drunk as fuck, but here nonetheless. She mutters something pretty much incoherent, but I believe she said. "Buy this stuff, otherwise, fuck you." Unfortunately, diapers are still more important.
@studerc Excellent post young man love it !!!!
@mellowirishgent I was gonna tag you in it...but then I then I decided not to ruin it...haha :)
@studercLOL OK GOOD MAN !!!
@mellowirishgent Why are you yelling?
@studerc Man you cant help being an idiot can you ? yelling what part hurt your ears? oh wait i made your eyes hurt ..stfu ty in advance is that mellow enough for you?
@mellowirishgent...you make this too easy. I find it adorable when you comment, keep being you. Maybe next week there will be a sticker in it for you!
My wife and I were drinking gin and tonics from these tonight! Nice mugs, but very thin and light weight!
Must have been lucky my first month with Meh..in May June not so good..
Got these the last time.. Would buy two more but... I just don't have that many friends.
@unkabob I was your friend for a while but you never showed up to my parties. I kept telling people "Bob's gonna be here". Then when hours passed and no Bob, the people would ask "What About Bob"?I know a rather long post just to get a terrible movie reference in. Movie great...joke bad.

Why are they shaped differently?
Ugh, I can only buy 6? That means I need to keep the bottle close by to refill my cups!
i was given a set of these, but since i don't drink that particular concoction- i use em as coffee mugs instead. they work pretty good, unless i leave a cup for a few hours and find the inside a whole lot brighter.
Don't need these in Chicago... We're drinking the sweet nectar from Lord Stanley's Cup!
@sourhead. The Stanley Cup is the only "sweet nectar" anyone in Chicago's gonna drink for a while: Cubs (hell no), Bulls (not even with the new coach), Bears (nope), Sox (no where near close).
@KyesDad... Maybe so... But tonight the nec
@KyesDad sorry... Cup came around again. Tonight the nectar is sweet!
@sourhead Sourhead's motto: Around every silver lining there's a dark cloud.
So..go for copper or steel lined which is better
@KyesDad They need to have the copper lining for the full electro-chemical effect of the Moscow Mule.
@PhysAssist What does it matter when they're coated? This is just an all-around stupid purchase.
@Pufferfishy h8trs gonna h8t
@PhysAssist Whatever - the whole idea of this drink is that the flavor / mouth feel is based on reaction with copper - which neither of these mugs will provide. You may as well use a Big Gulp cup - the net result will be the same.
In for four- I was going to last time, and wussed out: peremptory-hilarious-pine
@PhysAssist Trapeez... Trap... It's a trap!
@connorbush Heheheheh :-)
guys I still don't get it though
@Lotsofgoats Dont get what? though?
@Lotsofgoats you have to order before you get it. Did you order?
I stilllllllllll don't get it
@Lotsofgoats But why male models?
Is it a cop-out or just plain Putin stubborn to offer these again?
@RedOak Well, they sold out, so I guess it was a good move for Meh.
With these (mostly) copper mugs, now the margaritas won't be the only ones with drink-specific vessels. Bide your time patiently, sangria, for one day you'll have your own fancy designated glassware and I won't have to drink you straight from the carafe.
taunting-fluid-sangria
@MehAmphetamine for sangria, you should have bought these:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/luminarc-bola-15-oz-stemless-wine-glass-12-pack
They were perfect!!!
Oh, god, what did I just do?
@Notrobocop What are we? Psychic? Tell us what you done did so we can share or jeer as apropos:-)
@PhysAssist I ordered a set of Moscow Mule mugs. Does... does that make me a hipster?
@Notrobocop I ordered two sets, and I pray it does not for either of us...?!?!? I suspect we're safe as long as we don't start saying that we discovered and were enjoying Moscow Mules long before the mugs were available on Meh...
You had me at Moscow.
I bought just to feel classier whilst drinking my cheapo beers at home....did I make a poor decision? Perhaps. Am I too intoxicated to care & have zero desire to make an actual Moscow Mule ever at home? Sure am!
@grimacetrail in this case classier = more Russian
@mehdaf Does that men that you can only drink Russian Imperial Stout from these (beer-wise)?
@PhysAssist Not only, but you definitely should... Although I feel like metal would allow the beer to warm up too quickly, so drink it fast!
triumphant-festering-gunslinger
I'm in for 4 of them. I've been needing some pure copper Moscow mule mugs and these are perfect. I went for pure copper because I love the taste of pennies.
@revloki I love the taste of pennies too, but it can't beat the yummy taste of Play-Doh.
@heartny elmers glue is the best, though.
@revloki If that be the case, be sure to dishwash them so that the lacquer coating gets erased...
@revloki Is your confirmation code image cuperic or ironic? : https://res.cloudinary.com/mediocre/image/upload/c_pad,f_auto,h_600,q_80,w_600/fqgpj2cg5clxoa0khabq.png

I guess I can quit now
worried-disallusioned-story here. For the record. I am neither worried nor disillusioned at the current moment. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@jimmyd103 I see what you did there...
@PhysAssist Thanks for confirming my hopes that there is at least one other genius on this site. I was starting to get disallusioned and worried. Oh and for the record, spell check wants to change disallusioned to disillusioned. There is a spelling error in my Order #! Perfectly meh I guess.
@jimmyd103 I think that means you win, although: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=disallusion
alcoholism! now with copper poisoning!
@rbabajtis Adds flavor :)
@Stallion. .. and hopefully not Wilson's Disease!
I bought 2 last time but never opened them up yet. This past weekend I was out at a snazzy steak restaurant and drank down 4 mules. Damn they were good! Can't wait to start mixing them up myself.
Living nearby Russia I can tell you nobody in Moscow or Russia in whole doesn't give a shit about this cocktail or anything resembling it. We don't even drink ginger ale here at all.
Of course, most likely you know that, but quick reminder may be helpful for someone.
@wishod oh thanks, Buzz Killington. I guess you're gonna tell us they don't eat French fries in France next, huh?
@revloki HA! Don't be rediculous. Taco Bell has all of the beauty and diversity of Mexican cuisine, surely french fries must be the same.
@bczf Drink was originated in CT. not moscow and its ginger beer not ale big difference to the taste which is awesome nice clean drink with a bite afterwards.. enjoy
@wishod Not to be a critic, but saying "nobody doesn't" technically means that everyone does... Just Saying...
Grievous waste of melted pennies.
@Bevvie Copper hasn't been composed of pennies for quite a while now...
@PhysAssist. Seriously? Wow.
@Bevvie for reals... http://m.livescience.com/32401-whats-a-penny-made-of.html
@PhysAssist Move along, Copernicus. You still haven't grasped that it was written in jest. Bye.
@Bevvie Not Copernicus- Diogenes- and I did, I just like to make informative and factual replies to facetious posts.
So the whole idea of this drink is that it reacts with copper to "make" the taste. And you people are fawning all over cups that are either NOT copper... or COATED (as in you won't touch the copper) copper. Okaaaaaay......
@Pufferfishy see I still don't get it either
@Lotsofgoats For my part, I plan on using a dishwasher to degrade/remove the lacquer coating to aloow the reaction, but you might get it from the uncoated outside where your lips touch the uncoated metal anyway...
@PhysAssist so the snake oil has to physically touch the copper for this reaction to happen? makes sense I guess
dang sold out :(
Must wake up earlier on tuesdays :(
Just go to bed later.
Alright, I'm out of the loop. Why are these things EVERYWHERE?
It's 2015's appletini.
@whogots because fedoras, unicycles, and facial hair can only hold attention so long.
Unicycles are cool. I wish I had one.
@whogots I blame Oprah.
@brhfl It actually was Oprah. Although the drink has existed for a long time, she's the reason for the recent popularity. http://www.oprah.com/gift/Moscow-Mule-Kit?editors_pick_id=40387
@alanh It's almost like I wasn't just saying random shit!
I think the important question is, will the copper help my golf swing and arthritis?
Yes actually! Just wear one on each wrist, and you should see improvement within 4 to 6 weeks!
Wow, I didn't think these would sell out so quickly! I had decided not to buy at midnight, but at 9:30am I thought maybe I should.. Alas, I was too late!
Is this the point where I should blame the time zones?
@kadagan The last time these came up they sold out in just over an hour. I'm surprised that there were any left early this morning.
@lljk I bought some last time, so I didn't see how quick they sold out.. Haha
@kadagan Something tells me they will return once again.....They've shown their face at least twice now, and that usually means they will do it again.
@Stallion Very true, but I doubt they'll return at a time when I can get them before July 23rd (my dad's birthday).. haha.. Oh well, time for a plan B present!
@kadagan True, or hit up Amazon. Unfortunately they cost nearly double but if you were dead set they are worthy.
@Stallion I'll just come up with another gift idea.. I thought of that this morning, which is why I hadn't purchased them at midnight.. I'm sure I'll think of something else
I can't be the only one that despises using these in Indian restaurants.
@Lazarpandar I just don't eat in Indian restaurants- problem solved! Oh, but I still get adequate RDA's of Basmati, Tabuli, Curry, etc, because I have Indian friends- and home cooked naan bread is seriously better than any I ever had from restaurants.
So.. 2-for-TUPAC-tuesday it is, hmmm. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
