There's one thing I know for sure around the holiday season: Thanksgiving is a time for family, good food, and binge watching Friends episodes. While the iconic NBC series has been off the air for almost 15 years, nostalgic fans can still get their fill by binging each season on Netflix [1], trying their hand at show trivia [2], and buying fandom merch in bulk. Case in point? This hilarious Turkey Mug [3] ($22) from Firebox. Yes, the love for the Central Perk crew has gotten so specific, you can sip on your morning coffee from a Monica-inspired mug.
Remember when Chandler and Monica got into a fight, and she surprised him by shimmying around with a turkey on her head? If you tried to describe this scene to someone who wasn't a fan (and really, why do you have those type of people in your life to begin with?) you might sound crazy, but this is actually one of the sweetest moments in the series. Chandler says "I love you" to Monica for the first time, bird and all. Aww!
It's a tender and hilarious moment that deserves to be commemorated. Enter: the Turkey Mug.
Don't just limit yourself to using this mug during Thanksgiving. With its removable tiny fez-hat lid and spot-on sunglasses, this cup deserves a prime location in your drinkware collection.
I highly recommend using this mug to win over the transponster in your life, like Monica, or while backtracking on a declaration of love, like Chandler. Sipping (and spilling) tea has never looked so fun.
