I mean, if I took the time to research and actually look, I\u2019m sure I could find a countless number of things, but serious question here, is there anything more unnecessarily needed than mugs made out of baseball bats?<\/span><\/p>\n This is actually a topic that brewed last year that I never got to, but seeing as how we\u2019re in the thick of the World Series now, advertising for this bullshit has reached fever pitch, and I\u2019m getting targeted ads and seeing auto-playing bullshit videos for this crap all over again, and now I\u2019m bragging about it.<\/span><\/p>\n Seriously, when I first saw this shit last year, I\u2019m thinking to myself, \u201chey, the world is in a fucking pandemic, and I\u2019m thankful my daughter is too young to realize just how fucked up everything is outside our doors.\u00a0 <\/span>You know what I need?\u00a0 <\/span>A fucking mug made out of a baseball bat.<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe if it were any other year than 2020, I would\u2019ve rolled my eyes and ignored just how much bullshit Dugout Mugs are, but the timing of them being pushed to the moon in the middle of a pandemic, I had a hard time swallowing why anyone would want a fucking bored out baseball bat, instead of like I dunno, some PPE or maybe a fucking vaccine?<\/span><\/p>\n It just epitomized the ridiculousness of American capitalism and the existence of all sorts of shit that doesn\u2019t need to exist, and Dugout Mugs just made me mad every time I saw them getting shilled.<\/span><\/p>\n Like, I googled them just to see how much they\u2019d cost, and a single fucking pint is $70.\u00a0 <\/span>Seventy fucking dollars, for a hollowed-out bat head.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe it\u2019s slightly oil-treated, and has a laser-engraving of my favorite team\u2019s logo on it.\u00a0 <\/span>But it\u2019s still a fucking piece of wood, which also means it\u2019s not dishwasher safe, and by the looks of it, cleaning the inside of it will require a brush, since any adult human\u2019s hand would probably not be able to wedge inside the bowl to clean with a sponge.<\/span><\/p>\n No fucking thanks, I\u2019d rather drink out of cans or bottles, or the litany of novelty pint glasses that I\u2019ve collected throughout the years from my favorite locals or microbreweries, that I can then throw in the dishwasher and clean and dry it without worrying about it warping or rotting.<\/span><\/p>\n I hate these so much that it might do the Braves a solid if I say that I\u2019ll buy an Astros Dugout Mug if the Braves can win the World Series, just so I can tempt fate and control the universe into delivering me a Braves championship, just so I can suffer the punishment of having to plunk down $70 I\u2019d rather spend on anything else, on something I really abhor.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I mean, if I took the time to research and actually look, I\u2019m sure I could find a countless number of things, but serious question here, is there anything more unnecessarily needed than mugs made out of baseball bats?
