It takes a hot cup of coffee for you and most of the world to wake up, and now you can watch it happen with the heat-sensitive day and night mug. As you pour your coffee (or tea), the mugs heat-sensitive technology brightens the world map topography printed on it.
In effect, you can see the world go from day to night. As your beverage cools again, the map slowly fades into darkness, revealing only pin-pricks of light that mark the major cities.
If you feel like you could brush up on your geography knowledge – and let’s be honest, who couldn’t? - this might be a fun way to learn. And of course, a fun gimmick is a great way to start your day.
