Just got this in an email; I'm not a canon shooter but figured what the heck. :)

17$USD/Shipped is cheaper then what most sellers are selling for?

When they get down to $10 I'll still think it's too much for a plastic cup but I'll likely pick one up then.

Just saw the 24-105 Canon mug at Pacific Mall (Kennedy and Steeles) for $20 if anyone is interested. If you go through the main mall entrance (north side) and walk down the centre isle you will see the store on the right w/ mug displayed in window. Sorry, I forgot to jot down the store name.

Novelty item. Just like John Deere ball caps, Ford keychains or "World's Best fill in blank" mugs.

saw this at pacific mall for 20 bucks a pop... not worth the money i think even if you are a canon fan.

plus hot water and plastic don't go very well together.

+1 .....people are such tools of marketing. They'll pay $20 for a hunk of plastic that could very well be detrimental to their health. yum, BPA and coffee.
Rant over - off to go buy some hydrogenated oil-laden cheezies and diet pop laden with aspartame.

Landfill quality. Built to withstand the forces of decay for hundreds of years. Will leech toxic chemicals in to hot liquids for decades.

I don't know why everyone's got such a hate on for these mugs. :? My son and wife bought me one for 10$ during the summer down south and i like it. Does what it needs to, ie holds my drinks and is fun.
