There is a new sheriff in town.

Well, not really. I just always wanted to say that.

But if there was such a thing as the coffee mug patrol, they would love this little gadget.

An office worker’s coffee mug can sometimes serve as a personal shrine. It’s a reflection of themselves and they don’t want to share it with anyone. We’ve all seen the working class mom strolling around the office with the cup the reads, “The World’s No. 1 Dad.” Sorry Louise, it doesn’t fit you. And guess what? The “No. 1 Dad” is left without his morning cup of Joe.

In comes the Lock Cup. This little baby not only keeps your beverage warm, but with the flip of the wrist, it can create a nice little hole to prevent others with walking off with a full cup. Yep, it comes with a key that plugs up the hole for only you to use.

Now all you have to do is lock up the key so that no one steals it. Or hope no one holds your mug hostage. Either way, at least your workday just got more interesting.
