Mugs

How many units of Famous Grouse do they hold ?

And now we've sold one! Joy is unbounded! Go on - make it two!

I love my abctales mug. In the morning, I can only drink tea out of my great big china vase style white mug, but the second one is ALWAYS in my chirpy little red and white one. I think it's important that, whatever the beverage, it is in a mug that has a white interior, don't you?

Yep pristine white for me.

I've got a very nice zoetrope mug...packed and shipped by Sophia Coppola herself, or so I was told... (Yes - I fell for it, but what the hell...)

Trust me Tony, you can't go wrong with T-shirts. I've been selling them for two years, and know people who have been doing it a lot longer.

Tony, I have a very good friend that runs a Silk Screening business in Colorado Springs. T-Shirts are her specialty and she is very very good. If you're interesed in selling T-Shirts in the US, drop me a line. I'll see if something can be worked out with her. She was talking about doing die sublimation also, which means "coffee mugs". Why ship, when you can license?

!!!!!

that's. "dye sublimation" duh.

Tony - please see the thread "Tony's Centrefold Cosmo Spread" for my top tip on promoting the ABC mugs. Liz

umm... !!

Tony, why don't you rather go for abctales.com T-shirts. Seven pounds is a lot for a mug (almost R100). But I would consider paying it for a good quality T-shirt. Also, you would not have to worry about breakages during shipping. Not to mention the amount of exposure it would give your logo. White T-shirts must be as cheap to have printed in the UK as it is anywhere in the world.

Dear Rob Woberts, Your regular ABCtales mug hold just under a pint of Famous Grouse. You can fill it nearly three times from a bottle if you don'r put too much in which will only test the principle of surface tension and cause spillage, particularly on the second and third mugfulls. I can warmly recommend to you the ABCtales Jugs, that hold more than a pint and come with a nipple. email liana or fish for more information.

hahahaha bastid

I find mugs with a dark interior (like my extremely suave jet black Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds mug) are much easier to wash to a satisfactory standard.

But tea in a mug with a dark interior tastes rank Dan... I shall send you one of my green meanies immediately, and you can discover the taste sensation that is a white mug.

Youre better off selling them at abctales events really... people dont buy mugs online so much i reckon. Teeshirts are a great idea as long as they arent a horrid shape... mousemats would be a good idea too.

Fashionably and in trendy circles, liana, it should apparently be a martini glass full for your waif, heroin chic jugs, but hey, I like a REAL woman, me. And Pip Pip's got bigger tits that a martini.

ok what does it matter if the mugs white black yello or even purple with green spots on you drink out of it

because sight and taste are linked megan. Would you eat grey mashed potatoes? No. And I wouldnt drink grey tea.

Mine is brilliant...In the short time I've owned it, it has served as a coin-holder, a tea mug, a vase and and a beer tankard. Three purposes for the price of one...bargain. I may even buy a few more for pressies!

mine has a cameo appearance in an independent low budget zombie film.

Mrs Bob no 1's mashed potatoes were always a pale shade of grey...

dont what colour stuff is

You wouldn't eat green chips would you Megan?

like guiness from a plastic glass - ugh I have white mugs, I even have an abctales mug. But the tea here has an unpleasant chemical taste like it was cooked over a meths primer unless Bob (housemate) makes it. I'm not sure why that is, but I wish he'd get up earlier on a Saturday. one of my finest moments was drinking Skol from a martini glass at eight in the morning, the girls just swooned.

nice use of mug, dan :-)

yer i would i would see if they were mouldy first

>> Blokes eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em. (Thought I'd get that in whilst Missi is on hols.) << So you thought I wouldn't bother reading up on the past two weeks, eh? MY ABC mug is sitting STILL unused, or indeed unwashed, on my office shelf. Replete with the imprint of the lovely lips of an ABC goddess!

ok ...............

I saw a man make grey mashed potatoes once. He boiled the potatoes, then got the masher and set to work. With the water still in the pan with the potatoes. "What?" he said when I looked alarmed. Blokes eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em. (Thought I'd get that in whilst Missi is on hols.)

Exactly how Mrs Bob no 1 used to make 'em !!!!!

I had a great mashed potato brainwave once; cook them in the pressure cooker and, at the same time, put a Christmas pudding in a container within the pressure cooker to steam. When it started to boil, the pudding fell over and cooked in the water with the potatoes. Delia Smith, eat your heart out. Must have another ABCtales event soon to shift some more of those mugs.

I like a large mug that is microwave safe. I steep green tea for a long time a sip while I work. Does the mug come with a top?

Can I just say that my virtual abc mug is absolutely splendid! Chin up!

The trouble with doing T shirts is that you have to print them at 100 a time - in each size - and that gets to be an expensive exercise as ABCtalers are not great at buying stuff! Ho Hum.

Well maybe the ones that are great at buying stuff, already bought. Try mousemats... cheaper delivery too. I'd have one, but then I've bought two mugs, even if one DID get pinched...

I have a friend in Maldon that runs a T shirt printing business and she is happy to print them on demand. All you have to pay for is the artwork and then so much per shirt. She does very nicely printing them for local clubs and festivals.

i dont know

You could just sell them through cafepress no minimum quantities, pick your own price

Sadly not - but you could make one yourself, I'm sure.

yer !!!!!!!!!

For all this jolly discussion, no-one's bought one! Ho Hum.

We tried through cafepress - the trouble is that they are in the USA and you have to pay inordiante amounts of dosh to get them through customs. However the quality of the T shirts is excellent. We only sold one T shirt and one mouse mat - I bought them both!

Oh well, you could sell one to radiodenver maybe. a few uk based alternatives mentioned here:

Wo hee! Two sold - but the second one was to the same person as the first one. Come on now - make my day for number three.

Thanks Dan - spreadshirt looks very interesting - at long last a European alternative to cafepress. We will investigate further.
