Coffee mugs are a staple in every household. They are quite easy to compile over the years because unique mugs are sold everywhere: your favorite coffee shop, gift shops you stumble across on vacation, and Walmart even. Even though you know you already have several when you find a new one, you are absolutely compelled to buy it. So other than drinking your morning coffee, what purpose can all of the mugs that you accumulate over the years live up to?
