Scrapr ★ Posted June 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Mrs Scrapr is cleaning out the pantry. She found this thermos from back in the day. Man that brings back a ton of memories. I used to drive truck local & line haul. So the thermos would sit under my seat and get bounced around. And the air seat would go up & down accounting for the large dents. Most times I would pull over to pour. Occasionally do it while driving. And spill the nectar She is putting it out to the recycle Edited June 28, 2015 by Scrapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted June 28, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2015 I was just thinking about that the other day...the smaller glass in my cupboard is basically for a mixed drink..and it is a Dallas Skyline that I purchased when I was living there in 1984...this a just a glass..not a heavy duty mug. One of my favorite mugs..I purchased in the middle 70's from the local hallmark store...it too is in pretty good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted June 28, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 28, 2015 My coffee cup is roughly 3 years old now, but my thermos is about 18 years old.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted June 28, 2015 Share #9 Posted June 28, 2015 My last coffee cup was about 15 years old. Until my wife got tired of looking at it and "mistakenly" dropped it. My current cup is only about 6 or 7 years old. But I use it everyday several times a day, even for non coffee beverages. Its not the prettiest, and the lettering is wearing off, but it was a gift. And everyone knows it's mine. At least until my wife get tired of looking at this one too.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted June 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted June 29, 2015 my cup is a tea mug instead ofa coffee cup, but I'd say the one I use at home ia about 3 years ols, and the travel mug I bring to work is about 2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted June 29, 2015 Share #11 Posted June 29, 2015 Most of our coffee mugs are aboot 30 years old or so. A good coffee mug should last more than 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted June 29, 2015 Share #13 Posted June 29, 2015 I have one from the 1973 National Jamboree. Inherited it from my Uncle Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted June 29, 2015 Share #14 Posted June 29, 2015 The one I use at home I got in the late 90s the first time I took my now-wife to Vermont. It's a nice heavy diner mug that says "Green Mountain Coffee Roasters" - from before they were everywhere with their K-cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted June 29, 2015 Share #15 Posted June 29, 2015 At home - 2 year old. A Starbucks mug from Ms.Grace from the ChristMarch.Here at the office - about 5 years old. Something from a vendor but it's the right size and feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted June 29, 2015 Share #16 Posted June 29, 2015 I have a blue XO brand thermal mug that I used for years sitting in the cupboard at home because I bought a better one that keeps coffee hotter longer. My boys gave it to me for fathers day 5 years ago. Prior to that I used a stainless steel mug that my history buff Uncle Charles gave me. Sadly I left it at a Scout leadership training event years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted June 29, 2015 Share #17 Posted June 29, 2015 2 years old. Threw out all our old mugs and bought plain white bone china cups and mugs. Coffee and tea are much better when drank from nice thin bone china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted June 29, 2015 Share #19 Posted June 29, 2015 I'm quite sure that my cup at work is just a bit older than the stuff growing in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted June 29, 2015 Share #21 Posted June 29, 2015 My main mug at work is about 3 years old. It was in a "swag bag" they gave to new employees when I started here. I've been using it at work since day 1.My main mug at home, is actually a travel mug. I was so impressed with it being exactly what I wanted, at the time, that I bought about 4 of them and use them even in the house. I do have many mugs at home that are probably much older (maybe 10-15 years old), but they rarely get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
