How Many Cups Do You Own?

Ask a Question

Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s not just me but does anyone else have a lot of cups? ๐Ÿซ– ๐Ÿต

Lmao ๐Ÿคฃ I do! Just like the many different designs there are!

Iโ€™ve lost count with how many I have! ๐Ÿ˜…

Recently got a cute ๐Ÿฅฐ one with cats ๐Ÿˆ cause the price was reduced!

Toooo many, my favourite recently broke and I cried, it was for my 18th from my late father, I'm now 37 so it did last well, the handles in 4 pieces,and the stumps left behind are sharp, but the actual cup is fine, if anyone ones how to get rid of the sharp handle stumps so I can use it again without a handle,I would be very gratefull ***

slightfoot oh no sorry ๐Ÿ˜ฃ to hear that the cup broke!

I had the same problem with a nice Mickey Mouse cup it was a comic strip on the cup

But it was smashed! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Cracked and unable to drink from it

Didnโ€™t want to bin it but I did

This was years ago and got annoyed cause I had only just started using it!

Got it in the sales and stupid family piling on dishes on the drying rack cracked it!

Had no choice but to bin it

MelissaLee1 Lmao ๐Ÿคฃ Iโ€™d panic ๐Ÿ˜ฑ too!

When heating foods in microwave itโ€™s best to heat like 1 or 2 minutes then get a spoon and give it a stir so the heat distributes all around

Otherwise they will be a loud pop and foods gets splattered everywhere and then you will have to wipe clean the inside!

MelissaLee1 oh dear ๐Ÿ˜… it is annoying right?! Trying to heat up foods but the spilling gets everywhere!

Think milk is thin texture so the heat makes it explode!

We own way too many. We have three shelves of mugs and cups and only use the ones on the bottom shelf. A lot have been purchased as presents and have personal meaning. But at the end of the day it is just a mug.

I wouldn't like to put a number on it but definitely too many! A couple of shelves in the kitchen for the majority of them (carefully fitted in, a bit like Tetris) and even more in another cupboard like overflow parking.

I have attempted to clear it out and donate some to the charity shop the trouble is I start clearing and think ahhh so and so gave me that oneโ€ฆ.. and so on and then put them back in the cupboard ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
