Disappearing Civil Liberties Mug Bill of Rights

• Pour in a hot beverage and watch your civil liberties disappear
• Mug features the complete text of the Bill of Rights
• Pour in a hot beverage and see what remains - thanks to the Patriot Act

All of my liberties disappeared...:
...and I didn't even wash it in the dishwasher! A few washings in the sink was all it took and I've now got a white mug with some errant letters on it. A rather expensive wash-out...

Not dishwasher safe:
This is a great little mug, gave me quite a chuckle when I poured coffee in it and sure enough, my civil liberties began to fade and disappear. Unfortunately, my son ran it through a cycle in the dishwasher and my liberties vanished forever!! I'm buying another one for the latest lawyer in the family with the warning: " Liberties at stake..DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER! HAND WASH ONLY!"

Very funny mug!:
This mug is very funny. It says on the box not to machine wash and I've washed mine (by hand) dozens of times. I chuckle (and shiver with fear a little) everytime I use it!

My Rights Still Are There - Rly.:
To those who seem to lose their rights shortly after the cups first wash: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING TO THE POOR COFFEE CUP?! IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE POWER WASHED. With that finished, let this exciting review begin. When you pour FRESH coffee into it, and yes, coffee; reason being: coffee is the only drink worthy enough to be in it; the rights on the cup will disappear in accordance with those that disappear due to the Patriot Act. They fade away into a dim yellow, not exactly white but close enough. I use Dawn Foaming-Action soap on this cup with a typical sponge. I do not see the need for using a power washer like other reviewers, grease remover, wire brush, etc. You just simply wash out the inside, sponge it a bit, then run the sponge carefully over the rights once or twice and then focus the sponge around where you put your mouth on. Simple as that. If you drink very sticky and obnoxious things that require a different cup or leave things to mold in cups - this cup is not for you because you'd wash the rights off cleaning it. :3

OK for a joke:
The wording that disappears is affixed to a plastic overlay. I purchased two. One was horribly aligned and the other had bubbles under it.
