1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, May 9, 2010

This is an awful product - why? Here's why...
1. Its not leakproof, turn this upside down or on its side and it will leak all over your workpants.
2. The handle is too big and extends almost to the base, rendering it (almost) impossible to place in any car cup holder.
3. The bottom of the cup came off and was held in with nothing except double sided tape. I ended putting foil over it to stop it sticking to everything.
4. The top is not screw in but rather plunge type. It relies on a membrane to hold it in place. This does not instill confidence that the top will come off.

Indeed, this is a very poor product. The only thing it has going for it is a witty logo. I'm using this as an office mug now rather than a commuting/travel mug. Disappointment is an understatement, i expected more from The Onion

1.0 out of 5 stars PLASTIC lid!, May 5, 2010

According to the product description, it has "stainless steel lid, rim, and base". Well, the lid is made out of cheap plastic. I would not have paid $18.50 plus shipping for it if I were aware of this. I only bought this because I was looking for a travel mug sans any plastic and thought this was it. I was wrong!

This is the most sarcastic travel mug ever. Everyone who sees it loves it, and wants to know where I bought it. It keeps beverages warm or cold for at least four hours. The top either screws in or pops in. I got the kind that pops in. No leaks around the seal. It cleans up easily and quickly - hand wash only. It is easy to hold. I would have given it five stars except the handle goes down too low for the mug to fit into a car cup holder. It fits in my car's cup holder, but I can't have any other beverage in the other holder because I have to put it in the holder with the handle pointer toward the empty cup holder or else it will not go all the way down. I do love this mug though, just for the laughs.
