The first one was found while staying at Pat and Bill Thomas' house in Illinois. It actually belongs to their daughter and my good friend, Monaca.
I found it in their lower cabinet:

I was immediately drawn to it because I couldn't accurately ascertain its size nor its color. So, I wondered, "Could this be a small, pink mug?"
Here's a picture of me wondering that.

And, then, it hit me: "OH! This is a BIG BROWN mug!"

I was glad the manufacturers had the presence of mind and forethought to actually write on the cup that it was a BIG BROWN mug because otherwise I might not have been able to figure that out.

My mug, which is a very worky mug, came from one of the companies that my lab does work for. Note the crazy looking chemist - we actually have a very smart guy who looks just a wee bit like the picture you see. I actually got two of these mugs since there are so many at work that we were encouraged strongly to "please take these home with you!" I use it almost all of the time because it has just the right capacity and a great handle. I really would like to post my picture of me holding this mug, but I'm at a loss as to how in the world I would do that!
this mug is a play on the words on the shopping bags from bloomingdales!
the bags say Big brown bag, medium brown bag etc!
lol your post seems a little silly now!
Silly, indeed. Because putting the words "big brown bag" on a, uh, big brown bag isn't equally ridiculous. Ahem. :-)
