NEW: The Inconspicuous Consumption Coffee Mug
Plus free shipping on all our merch, just in time for the holidays.
When I recently announced the launch of Inconspicuous Consumption pint glasses, rocks glasses, and other drinkware, reader Matt Loomis asked, “Mugs?” I told him I’d look into it.
Ask and ye shall receive! I’m happy to announce that the official Inconspicuous Consumption coffee mug is now available. As you can see above, it has the basic “Brannock Device in a circle” logo on one side and the logo with the site name on the other side. It’s available here.
A bit of backstory: Our supplier, Cotton Bureau, was originally offering printing on only one side of the mug — with the graphics visible to right-handed users. So I asked them if they could offer printing on both sides, so lefties wouldn’t be excluded, and they managed to do it just in time for Black Friday. The double-sided printing also allowed me to use both of our Brannock logos on the same product. Cool, right?
And get this: From now through the end of next Monday, Dec. 2, you can get free shipping on these mugs and all the rest of our Cotton Bureau merchandise, including T-shirts, hoodies, and ballcaps (all of which come in a wide range of styles and colors), by using the checkout code EXTRAGRAVY. You can access all of these products in our Cotton Bureau shop.
Finally, if you’re looking for a thoughtful holiday gift that doesn’t have to be wrapped or shipped, consider getting that special someone a gift subscription to Inconspicuous Consumption. It’s a great way to share your big enthusiasm for small details, and it will also be a present for you, because you and the gift recipient will now able to discuss all the great IC content!

"Our supplier, Cotton Bureau, was originally offering printing on only one side of the mug — with the graphics visible to right-handed users."
Hmmm, so if a graphic is positioned for only right (or left) handed users, is the intent for the graphic to face the user, or be visible to an observer? I rarely if ever use a coffee mug (or any handled drinking vessel) so this didn't occur to me until now.
