The Black on Black 'Don't F'cking Procrastinate' mug from GFDA stealthily hides a blunt but motivational message. Instead of solely relying on caffeine to get you through the day, you can now take a close look at GFDA's mug for a productivity boost. Each mug features the text "Don't fucking procrastinate" printed in black across a black mug. As a result, users have to look very closely to see the profane message.
The matte black ceramic mug holds 11oz of liquid and provides a quick dose of motivation. In addition, the mug is microwave and dishwasher safe so you can avoid boiling water and washing dishes while staying productive. All of this was conceived, designed and printed in the United States.
