To Serve and Protect (Hot Drinks): The RoboCup

0robocup-001.jpg

Sure, it’s just a coffee mug with an extra piece of ceramic stuck to it, and two squiggly lines representing a stern mouth. But with a catchphrase like “DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU’RE DRINKING A TEA,” the RoboCup aims to win over those of us raised in the ’80s with its persuasive copy:

– Generously sized crime-fighting vessel—half man, half mug
– Drink away those haunting submerged memories
– Made from a superhuman hybrid of flesh, steel and ceramics
– Produced by OmniCup
– I’d buy that for a dollar! But for you, a mere £12.99

That’s US $21.59, which we recognize is kinda steep (no pun intended) for a mug, and twice the price of a ticket to see the new Joel Kinnaman version. But unlike that 49%-on-Rotten-Tomatoes reboot, this mug will actually hold water (pun intended). It’s for sale on Firebox.
