A closer look

You paid fifteen extra dollars to keep the branded drinking vessel, but it is effectively a ticking time bomb of cheap manufacturing. Those vibrant, massive cups are made from low-grade plastics that absolutely cannot survive thermal shock. The moment you place it inside a standard home dishwasher, the heat warps the bottom into an unrecognizable blob. They are designed to survive exactly one evening of use, completely ignoring your desire for lasting memorabilia.
