You gotta' read this story about the couple in Tennessee who have collected thousands of mugs in only five years. I bet most of them have interesting advertising on them too.

"More than 19,000 cups—ranging from dainty porcelain teacups to jumbo-size ceramic mugs—hang on the walls and from the ceilings of Hubbell’s two-car garage and wooden barn." READ MORE from American Profile.

Love this collection. Cobwebs n treasures writes, "Dad sold Milk and Ice Cream from the time I was born, 63 years ago. At a date after I was married. with my own children, he started selling Land-O-Lakes Dairy products. Along with any business, comes advertising Give Away premiums, one of which was a Land-O-Lakes Coffee Mug depicting an Indian Maiden holding a pound of Butter. He said that was what started his idea about collecting advertising mugs."

Anyone remember Dunkin' Donuts?
