Global Warming Mug

We digress. The point is global warming is a reality we all have to face up to. But why wait twenty years to witness its devastating effects when you can watch them right now with the ingenious Global Warming Mug?
This worryingly relevant mug-with-a-message is adorned with a map of the world. Which is nice. What isn't particularly nice is what happens when you fill the mug with a hot drink. Because as soon as the mug feels the heat, the land mass begins to disappear before your very eyes. Oceans start to spread across the coastlines as ice caps melt and water levels rise. Crikey!
Don't be surprised if you're soon dribbling your tea in morbid fascination as you watch Florida being engulfed by the Atlantic and witness Central America dissolving into a few small islands. It's enough to ruin your appetite...almost!
If the Global Warming Mug doesn't shake you into action, nothing will. It really is the ideal cautionary gift for eco-unfriendly tea/coffee drinkers everywhere - and we're sure you know plenty: maybe they drive a car, maybe they're frequent flyers, maybe they use electrical appliances…hang on, that's pretty much everyone, isn't it? So unless you use renewable energy, cycle to work, recycle at home and spend your spare time planting trees, you'd better get ordering before our entire shipment melts away. It's the end of the world as we know it! Pass the biscotti.

I bought this as a joke gift for my mum, who's a geography teacher. She absolutely loves it and enjoys scaring her pupils by showing them what might happen if they don't start to think about the environment!!

I gave it as a present and down the phone, I could hear cries of "England's gone! So has Norway! Erk, where's Siberia? Look at Bangladesh! Hudson's Bay has become Hudson's Ocean!" etc. When cold water was put in "Wales is back!" It worked perfectly :D.

It might be random but it really is worth while, mabye it hasn't kicked me into saving the planet, but it is cool. Everyone should buy one, and watch the end of the world.
