Vintage Short Subjects Mug with Hiding Creature Inside, Purple Lizard

Who's Hiding in My Mug?

Who's Hiding in My Mug?

Way back when Amy was a kid in the 80s, Big Milk convinced everyone -  including her parents - that children shouldn't leave the table without drinking at least 1,000 ounces of the gross white stuff.  Amy hated milk (still does) and refused. Her parents tried everything, including the trick of giving her a cup with a little creature hiding in the bottom.  Her mom would say "Who's hiding in my cup?" And after literally choking the milk down, Amy would learn it was just the same, stupid little woodland creature as last night. That might have been the last time she drank milk. 

Now you too get to trick your kids with this vintage Short Subjects mug, made by husband-wife duo, Dee and Kathleen Swayze. After the team ran into some legal trouble manufacturing herbs (that weren't tea leaves), the team is back in the pottery studio, operating the company as Cheer Up Mugs. We think this creature is a horned lizard or salamander, or maybe a dinosaur. It's up to your gullible kids to decide. DRINK YOUR MILK, KIDS!
