Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 07, 2022

Whether it be filled with coffee, tea, herbal tea, hot chocolate, Lipton’s chicken soup, or Campbell’s tomato soup, there’s no argument there.

Not only is the coffee cup the original plugger hand warmer, it often contains an elixir that is SO essential for life and a good, hard day’s work.;-D

Pluggers do not hold with this modern insulated travel cup nonsense.

And beer bottle the original plugger hand cooler.

But it only works when it has fluid in it ;-)

Oh yes! Tho those of us that work outside year ’round have learned the value and joy of a good thermos for hot OR cold. The lid also works to keep the flies out.

So many memories came to mind of a warm mug in cold hands in the Pacific Northwest, Saskatchewan and Alaska, when I saw today’s panel.

And the size of the cup relates directly to how cold their hands are.

Coffee: The original Plugger’s laxative!

Heavy china mug or porcelain covered metal?

Tea in mine.

had to look up White Bear Lake MN… really thought it was going to be more “rural”

Plus it allows you enjoy the scent of the coffee, or cocoa. Unlike a sealed ‘sippy cup’. Also, you can dunk your cookies.

My double wall coffee cup doesn’t do that, maybe it’s broken?

Get a Navy Watch Standers cup, it doesn’t have a handle and you hold with both hands. It works, very well, I stood more open weatherdeck watches than I can count.
