Step back into the 1920s with our Prohibition Magic Mug – the only mug that keeps history hidden until you heat things up! At first glance, it looks like a plain mug… but once you pour in hot coffee, tea, or cocoa, a secret image appears, revealing a mystery historical figure from the Prohibition era.
Will your mug unveil a “Dry” crusader like hatchet-wielding Carrie Nation…
or a “Wet” rebel like bootlegger George Remus or speakeasy queen Texas Guinan?
You won’t know until you fill it!
What’s Wet vs. Dry?
In the 1920s, Americans weren’t just divided by politics – they were divided by beverages!
Your mug will decide which side you’re on… the moment the drink warms it up.
Why it’s fun
Will your mug expose a speakeasy-loving lawbreaker or a temperance warrior on a mission?
Only one way to find out… Just add heat.
