    But If I'm actually going to *use* it, it needs to be *big*.

    Mugs are tough. If I'm going to buy one, it HAS TO BE portable. Like "travel mug" portable. I like Yeti mugs, but I won't buy one because 2nd amendment. There are couple cheaper brands competing with Yeti, so that's what I buy. It's got to be something that can be dropped and kicked around the yard, the car, or even at work, for me to spend money on it.

      All kidding aside, I like these kind of "mugs".

      I don't have those exact ones, but something like it makes a nice large cup of tea/hot chocolate/mocha cappuccino.

          I would want the cup bigger than my bladder so that the cup doesn't overflow.

    I don't drink Diet Coke from a mug.

    SN branded ordinary USB thumb drives might be nice.

    If AOL were still around, we might be drowning in AOL branded USB thumb drives. Not having that, it might be nice to have SN branded USB sticks.

      To have a steady supply of free USB drives, it'd almost be worth it.
