Following on from the quite brilliant Global Warming Mug featured on TFTS some considerable time ago, you can now increase your prized collection of political statement mugs (what, you don’t have one?) with this heat reactive disappearing civil liberties mug which is sure to result in a heated debate (pun wholly intended) in the office or workplace.
Working on the same principal as those rather tacky cups where a person’s clothing disappears on the addition of boiling water, the Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug will show the full bill of rights until hot water is poured into the mug (the result being disappearance of entire swathes of the text in light of the Patriot Act).
Apparently the manufactures were intending to release a UK Bill of Rights Espresso Cup but it was decided that a cup with several CCTV cameras attached to it and well as an entire DNA database would prove especially hard to drink from.
The Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug retails for around $11.
