Revenge is a dish best served cold Mug

An old, widely used phrase expressing the sentiment that revenge that is delayed, and executed well after the heat of anger has dissipated, is more satisfying than revenge taken as an immediate act of rage. It has been frequently been claimed on the Internet to have originated in the novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. In truth, however, there are two problems with the widely circulated quotation from that book. The first is that the phrase does not appear in the novel, or anything else that de Lacois wrote. The second problem is that the French quotation used as proof is linguistically erroneous; de Lacois would never have written the words attributed to him. Thus it bears all the hallmarks of an Internet "fact" for which someone invented an authentication that seemed plausible, knowing that it would rarely be verified. The phrase has been in use since at least the 19th century, and at least one author's use of it back then expressed to the reader that it was an already existing dictum. Of course, how long ago it came into being in the Klingon Empire would be an interesting subject for xenolinguistic research.

it was frickin good mug i liked it it was good I have never thought of myself as someone who drinks from mugs. After I drank from this mug, I thought of myself as a mug-drinker. It was magical. My entire life changed. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. How do you follow up a lifestyle change? I went on a long walk. About 67 miles. Once I got to the Walgreen's I realized I could've just drove. But I didn't. I'm no quitter. Not with this mug. This mug gives me power, perseverance. You want this mug. Trust me. You want this mug.

Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.

Purchased this for my fiancé. One night watching TV, she blurted out the word "kaputnik." We laughed so hard. Never dreamed it was an actual word. Now, we know better. LOL

Sent a mug with DABNABIT printed on it to my Grandaughter for her birthday! She absolutely was thrilled with it! This is a saying I’ve used over the years a lot & we’ve always laughed about it! Ordered myself one too!!

Best mug I've ever seen honestly

looks great, came quickly, exactly as I wanted. minor observation - the coffee mug was a bit smaller than I expected. The mug is normal size, but most of my mugs tend to be a bit larger. No matter. I still enjoy it!! Perfect would have been larger - but that I my preference.

Bought this mug as a joke, the concept of there being a "magical one" was very funny to me. Great quality, I even feel magical myself.
