Product Description

From the Manufacturer

He first few sips from this innocent looking porcelain mug are pretty tame, but as you continue drinking things get a lot more exciting. What's that lurking in the murky depths of your morning coffee? HOLY CRAP, IT'S A SHARK. Yep, the bottom of this 3-1/4" (8.3 cm) tall, porcelain mug features the imposing head of a great white shark lunging up at you. A classic gag that's both funny and disconcerting. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Product Description

Drinking coffee used to be so safe. The only thing you really had to look out for was burning your lips. Alas, now the danger level has been increased tenfold. There's a great white shark on the loose in the kitchen. We think it's . . . oh no. Did you hear that? Nervously we take a sip from our coffee, as we search for the source of the noise. Then another sip. And that's when we see the shark. IT'S IN THE MUG!!!! It's in our Shark Attack Mug, that is. Each Shark Attack Mug appears to be a very basic looking white porcelain mug. But inside, hides (when covered in dark liquid) the head of a great white shark attacking upwards. The Shark Attack Mug is a great way to scare your friends and/or coworkers. It's also a great way to help you wake yourself up. Think about it: barely awake, you begin sipping your coffee. You're too tired to remember what mug you are using and . . . SHARK ATTACK! Your heart is now racing, all thanks to coffee and your Shark Attack Mug.

1.0 out of 5 stars broke in less than a week February 1, 2012

The mug great for the first week. I put it into the dishwasher and the shark broke off. I'm sure it can be repaired with some glue, but it was pretty disappointing to have it break so soon. Also, the shark is hollow and was not attached to the bottom very well, so liquid would get under and inside the shark. So after drinking coffee in it and rinsing it out, coffee would leak out, meaning I would have to rinse it again, then more coffee leaks out, etc. Since I wasn't willing to spend twenty minutes cleaning it every time, there was always some watery coffee stains in the bottom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute unique shark head mug April 19, 2012

Really unique mug that I've not seen anywhere else. Got this as a gift for a shark lover. Would give it 5 stars but the mug was a bit smaller than I would have liked it to be. It is a lot smaller than a regular coffee mug.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun gift for shark lover August 2, 2012

Okay, people. This is definitely a novelty item. Don't expect it to be very functional. It holds a very small amount of coffee, and it is very difficult to stir in your sweetener and cream. But it is great for its purpose. My husband thinks sharks are the most awesome and terrifying predators in the animal kingdom. He also loves his morning coffee. So I served him his morning coffee in this mug on his birthday, making sure the coffee covered the shark. It took him a few swallows before the shark started poking his head out of the coffee. The surprised smile on my husband's face was totally worth it. :-)
