I am not a paper cup.
September 25, 2009
Being a huge fan of Starbucks and all things coffee, this promotional item is awesome for me! It has the look and convenience of a paper cup without hurting the environment with more unnecessary paper and plastic waste.
The cup itself is double walled porcelain so it keeps your fingers cool and your coffee hot. The lid is a nifty silicone top shaped exactly like the plastic ones on my favorite disposable cups, which means I can go on with my coffee addiction sans environmental impact.
I just wish they sold them at coffee shops so I didn’t have to go out of my way to get one.
I wonder what they will come out with next since we already have the “I am not a plastic bag” and the “I am not a paper cup“? Yesterday I saw a painted recycle bin that said, “I am not a garbage can” with a big smiley face on the side- the possibilities are endless!
P.S. It all reminds me a little bit of Renee Magritte’s painting, ‘The Treachery of Images’… check it out, you might like it.
