Deceptive Motivational Mugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Don't F'cking Procrastinate' Mug Hides a Blunt Message

— August 20, 2013 — Art & Design
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.
Trend Themes
1. Hidden Message Mugs - The trend of hidden message mugs adds an element of surprise and delight for customers, providing a unique opportunity for companies to differentiate their product offerings.
2. Blunt Motivational Messages - The trend of using blunt and profane language in motivational messaging disrupts the traditional notion of motivational products, providing an opportunity for companies to appeal to younger and more irreverent demographics.
3. Multi-functional Mugs - The trend of mugs that can be used in both microwaves and dishwashers provides a convenient and practical solution for busy consumers, creating a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to capitalize on.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can incorporate hidden message mugs and multi-functional mugs into their product lines to appeal to younger and more productivity-focused consumers.
2. Office Supplies - Office supply companies can create product lines that feature blunt motivational messages on mugs and other office items to disrupt the traditional notion of motivational products.
3. E-commerce - E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the trend of hidden message mugs and multi-functional mugs by offering a wide selection of products from various brands that appeal to both practical and irreverent consumers.
