The Day the Coffee Boiled Over
The open-plan office of "Langeweile & Co. KG" was filled with yawning monotony. Christoph, Renée and Tom sat in front of their cat-themed cups and stared into space. Suddenly Renée jumped up and shouted: "If I see another cup with a purring kitten on it, I'll become a chainsaw masseuse!"
The Brainwave of the Millennium
Tom, known for his ability to come up with brilliant ideas in moments of extreme caffeine intoxication, snapped his fingers: "Guys, let's make cups so cheeky that even the coffee in them turns red!" Christoph almost fell off his office chair in shock - which would have been quite an achievement considering the low height.
The first field trial
With shaking hands and high on cup paint, they smuggled their creations into the office. The reaction was... explosive. Literally. The intern laughed so hard that he spat his coffee all over the keyboard and caused a short circuit. The office was briefly on fire - but hey, at least it was exciting!
The big leap into the porcelain business
In a fit of caffeine-induced megalomania, our heroes quit their jobs. Christoph dramatically announced: "I'd rather sell mugs than see dull mugs in the office!" Thus, "Mug That" was born - the first company to start a rebellion in ceramic form.
From underground startup to office cult
What started as a crazy idea from three coffee junkies exploded faster than a thermos in the microwave. Every new cup - from "I was worried for a moment that I wasn't qualified enough. I looked at my colleagues. Now I'm OK again" to "I don't know, I only work here" - hit the nail on the head of every office worker.
