This mug has a story behind it. I acquired the mug as a prize after filling up a stamp card for Mrs. Elizabeth Muffins. You had to purchase muffins or cookies like how you buy coffee and other beverages at Starbucks or CBTL. There are milestones like a free muffin after 8 or 10 stamps and then this mug when you fill out the entire card.

| The mug is bigger than most of my mugs. My favorite beverage then and now is hot chocolate and I used to buy Morinaga or Meiji powdered chocolate for my morning drink. During the day, I would just get a can of hot choco or tea from the university vending machines. These also kept the hands warm during the cold months in Japan. |

| The mug is basically plain except for the brand in the previous photo. |
I remember bringing back 3 mugs from Japan but broke one so only 2 remain that I am very careful about. There's a lot of sentimental value that I place on these mugs and others that I used while I was studying in Japan. Yes, I drank from these mugs while I was in Japan. I have two others that I brought to the lab for my personal use that I also brought back. I no longer use them like these two and are on display in my office at UP.
