Global Warming Mug ...Help! I'm melting!


Time for a nice cup of coffee and to daydream and plan your next beach holiday? Before you start, it might be worth checking that the beach is actually where you left it – and not hundreds of kilometres inland!

Need to know the impact of global warming. Just pour hot liquid in this mug and you’ll see what happens as the sea level rises!
The Global Warming Mug – it's a cool reminder of a very hot topic! Al Gore will love you for it...and so will your children's children.

Features
A mug that reveals how the world will look after the polar ice caps melt.
The map on the mug responds when the mug is filled with hot coffee or another hot beverage. The mug is microwave safe.
Do not put in the dishwasher or soak for long periods of time.
Suitable for ages 12 years+.
Size: 13 x 9 x 8cm

Temperature sensitive tile

Thinking of a bathroom makeover? If so, check out this great tile. It’s temperature sensitive so that the color changes as the tile heats. The palatte below shows single tiles in change and the series of photos there after show a full shower change. Pretty cool stuff from Moving Color
You walk into shower filled completely with boring black tile and turn the water on. Soon the shower walls begin to transform themselves into psychedelic changing patterns. This cool scenario really exists.

Inspired by the stunning Northern Lights of Alaska, this line features 4 × 4 glass tiles that appear black at room temperature and move through the color spectrum when temperature (warm water, radiant heat, etc) is applied. The moving color is dynamic to the temperature of the heating agent.
