Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Doodle Cup' Makes Sure the Fun Doesn't End With a Morning Cup of Joe

— April 12, 2012 — Unique
Instead of getting depressed after the morning cuppa dwindles down to its dregs, the fun will continue with the 'Doodle Cup.' The cup is designed to ensure even the remnants of a cuppa can be put to use (a very valiant effort to ensure people always remain resourceful). The inside of the cup has a connect-the-dots picture that the left over drops of coffee can be used to complete.

With the little straw, drinkers can enjoy creating a little picture in their mugs before they set out for a day at the office and maybe even take a break to do it again if they like to travel with their mugs. This product is a great way to make sure the coffee one drinks is put to use just in case the desk job is anti-climatic.

3. Personalized Consumption - The 'Doodle Cup' taps into the trend of personalization by allowing users to create unique artwork with their leftover coffee, catering to the desire for personalized experiences.
