I don't drink coffee, but if I did I wouldn't take these cups home and use them. An insulated metal (or even plastic) mug will perform better and be far cheaper in the long run. Also much more eco-friendly. <BR/><BR/>I'm an iced tea junkie and have been using the same insulated large mug for 3 years now. It's still performing well. Imagine how many foam cups I would have gone through in 3 years. <BR/><BR/>I see these Dixie cups as a tool of the lazy and self-centered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973385176024266341.post-4833140992788998872009-03-12T11:53:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:53:00.000-05:00That's an interesting way of looking at it.

The problem I see is Dixie is never going to 'blend in' with a coffee shop cup, it's far too generic. Plus it's still much cheaper and maybe even 'trendier' to bring your own reusable mug to work. But like you said, it does depend on your point-of-view.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534923097160591419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973385176024266341.post-67863794172975165122009-03-12T11:45:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:45:00.000-05:00I think it's a definite point-of-view.

And probably a slashback that they'll receive. <BR/><BR/>I believe their point with this spot was the "cost savings" angle of having a "trendy" looking cup that you can take your brewed-at-home coffee to work in. Saving your $$ from the high-priced coffee shop stuff. And you'll still "blend-in" at work even though you brought it from home.suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593470879679137984noreply@blogger.com
