Septemeber 10, 2017 - I thought today's mug was simply some tree silhouettes and animals eyes. I picked it up at a thrift store yesterday. It's very reminiscent of Halloween, which is apparently happening next week if you ask every major retail chain who started preparing at the beginning of the month. Come on guys, I don't need to be taunted by all that candy yet, not to mention candy corn! Back to the mug, I filled it with coffee, started on breakfast, and when I look back, everything had changed. To my surprise though this mug revealed the hidden aminals the eyes belong to in a cheery woodland scene. I know thermally active mugs exist but experiencing it unexpectedly being some childlike wonder to this Sunday. Of course, that's tempered by the chuckle remembering the Woodland Critter Christmas Southpark episode, which is not particularly childlike. 

This is Kikkerland mug is a Dutch company, but the word name translates to "Frogland," which according to google is a humorous reference to the Netherlands. Looks like the company sells primarily kitschy stuff on Amazon, and as it turns out this mug is still for sale!
