cups and glasses – Skate and Annoy

Can you find a bunch of balls?

Random, unbranded kid’s cup from a restaurant in a mall in Florida. Looks like he’s hanging loose while doing a finger flip, and has a giant baseball sticker on the tail. Makes sense. Oh wait, there’s a tennis ball on his show too. The text probably says “Can you find ___ balls on this cup?” […]

Bread and Badger and Unicorns

These are Bread and Badger sandblasted glasses with a unicorn riding a skateboard. As seen at the Crafty Wonderland retail shop in Portland. Looks like it’s available as a coffee mug, travel mug, cocktail glass, and wine glass too.

The seller isn’t sure if they are retro or vintage, but he thinks they were stored in a shed. The Ravenhead brand started in […]

Then and now: Collectable drink cups

That video of Rob Dyrdek eating it pretty hard while dressed up as a Carls Jr mascott has been making the rounds lately. He’s got some promotional drink cups coming out through Carls Jr, who have also made a donation to the Skate Plaza foundation. This is as good an excuse as any to trot […]
