@dontwantaname i had 4 of them customer made years ago. 2 were given as gifts, 1 didn’t survive a move, so i’m on my last one. i don’t remember where i had it made (maybe cafepress?), but there’s probably a ton of places that will do it now.
• This appears to be a ceramic item featuring an Orca Coatings logo, which is a common brand for dye-sublimation coated mugs and drinkware.
• The text beneath the logo indicates it was Made in China.
• This type of product is typically used for personalized gifts or branded merchandise. [1, 2, 3]

@carl669@estepae I’m about to start clay production in the shop in August. Maybe I could make a small batch of these for the mehtizens! I’m actually going up to Seattle this weekend to pick up our production kiln.
@carl669@estepae I made it for a gothy mate back in the UK. He has a thing for crows and dad jokes. I’ll be focusing on furniture and custom functional art but those are higher time/pricepoint. Ceramics I can use as a more regular income stream and it’s so therapeutic working with clay.
@werehatrack I have had all types of Chocolate.
The Torte, a cake like 7 layers creation from the Chief in Williamsburg, Va to the Cheap Little Debbie Fudge (Yum) to even chocolate from another country that really did NOT know how to make good Chocolate. (It only smelled better than it really tasted, which was NOT good!)
So Yes M/M are on the cheaper side of things. But that is all you have at that time, it is good enough for me. BTW I like to put 1 or 2 under my tongue & let it melt in the shell. I do the same for Chocolate covered raisins (Costco)
I save the reds, blues, and oranges for last. The others I eat first to clear the table.
Reds because they were taken away once so I horde them (until I eat them).
Orange because its pretty close to Mopar Hemi Orange, and because the combination of orange flavor and chocolate is one of the heaven-sent wonders of the candy world (and yes I know these don’t have orange flavor).
Blue is very nearly Petty Blue, or B5 Blue, the Mopar color of Richard Petty’s NASCAR stock cars and one of the best colors for Plymouth Road Runners and Dodge Super Bees.
@mediocrebot@tinamarie1974 That “color chaos” could definitely be extended to a jigsaw puzzle.
(500 or more pieces, of course.)
I need one of those for when I make it to the old folks home.
I feel the need to eat M&Ms in color matched pairs. When I run out of pairs, I close my eyes and toss the mismatched ones in my mouth and hope the universe doesn’t implode.
I don’t often eat M&Ms but I eat Skittles and Haribo gummy bears (both my jams :)) by quantity of color. I do have my favorites (do M&Ms taste different or is that an OCD thing?) I rotate through them by the amount of volume of each and then just save my favorite for last
I wouldn’t have noticed the colors going in, and I sure as hell wouldn’t want to try to analyze them coming out… They’re M&Ms. Just fuckin’ eat them by the fistful and STFU…!
Are you selling that cup? Not that I need one. Now you are going to make me wonder about what color M&M to eat first? Well I am bored.

@carl669 Does the logo on the bottom of the mug indicate who printed the mug or is it just the company that made it?
@MrGoodGuy that pic is about 3 or 4 years old, so it fell off a long time ago

I’ve had good success making custom mugs through office depot. A handful of you here can attest to that.

This is the first mug I ever made. Methinks you’d approve. The handle says F-CAW-F
@estepae @sillyheathen that mug is great!!

@sillyheathen Say hello to my hometown for me. Tell it I miss it.
Fuck it!
Randomly…
@chienfou randomly?? you agent of chaos!
@carl669 @chienfou I mean I know you’re in Bama, but randomly fucking it may be an issue if you find yourself in public….

ISWYDT. And i like it!
I shell mine.
/showme Anthropomorphized goat is carefully removing hard shell off M&M before eating the chocolate inside. M&Ms cower in bowl awaiting their fate.
@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Anthropomorphized goat is carefully removing hard shell off M [object Object] M before eating the…”
Mostly, I don’t, because they contain crappy chocolate.
@werehatrack
More for me…
@chienfou @werehatrack
@werehatrack Yes - way too sweet.
@macromeh @werehatrack
wait… too sweet? Is that even a thing??

@duodec this is very specific color rationalization and i’m for it!
I would fucking throw them all in my mouth at once! Thats right, complete and utter color chaos!
/showme color chaos

They all taste the same so color doesn’t f*cking matter!!
@MrGoodGuy all M&Ms matter?
nope. nope. i told myself i wasn’t going to make this political. i apologize.
@carl669
(Sorry, couldn’t resist!)
@carl669 @MrGoodGuy HAHAHAHAHAHA
Brown is best. Then yellow, orange and green. Saving red and blue for last/worst. Gotta skip most of the holiday themes with too much red.
@speediedelivery interesting. most people eat the brown first because they think they’re the “worst”.
@carl669 Dyes taste bad to me. Any edible I will choose not red and blue especially frosting. M&M’s don’t have enough to make me say no.
@speediedelivery I’m about the same but since brown is the best, it is saved for last.
Blue > orange > red > green > yellow > brown.
@njfan I grab the good first then if I end up sharing…I, well I never said I was a nice person,…share the not as good ones.

@capnjb
gummy bears and Skittles DO taste different based on color. M&Ms not so much…
@capnjb @chienfou and skittles in the uk and it’s territories have better skittles because purple is blackcurrant. It’s just better.
@capnjb @sillyheathen
Yep!
I ration my sugar intake so if I eat chocolate, it is going to be quality. This is my current favorite:
@macromeh well that looks amazing
@macromeh @tinamarie1974
I’m on a see food diet. If i see food, I’ll eat it.

I fucking eat the little fuckers.
One at a time.
