Addicted Since 1992

Me and, me and me and Max

In 1997-ish there was a promotion where you could send away for Max mugs. I owned two. They are long gone and my taste in coffee has changed too, but coffee is still my number one morning priority. Although I don't drink Maxwell House coffee anymore, that jingle in the link is the one I drink to.

 

According to my internet search, the S.S. Beaver was a steamboat owned by the Hudson's Bay Company and used to service trading posts. This mug, however, made me smirk when I saw it. Aren't there like, marketing people employed by such companies who, say, nix certain designs because immature people like me will only see it in terms of the slang? It's like all those Canadians who go down under wearing their Roots sweatshirts and having the Aussies snigger behind their back.

 

Beaver.

HBC should really hire some young punk who's hip to these things...
