If you’re not a morning person, or are dealing with a nasty hangover, the clinking sound of a spoon stirring a mug of coffee could drive you insane. And the fact that you can’t buy this clever Pegtop ridged mug that automatically stirs its contents when spun on a plate might annoy you even more.
Instead of a smooth inner surface, the mug has a pair of rounded angled ridges on the inside that serve to mix up the liquids inside as it turns. So if you know how to spin a top, you’ve already got the hang of using it.
Unfortunately, save for an incredibly convincing video that shows both a simulation of the mug and a working prototype, not much is known about the Pegtop concept—including whether or not it will ever go into production. Which is too bad, because with it and that whirlpool pot in your kitchen, you may never have to stir again. [YouTube via HomeChunk]

You know you have some serious first-world issues if you or anybody around you is “discomforted by the sound of a spoon hitting an inner wall of [a] cup…”
Cool glass though.
Where’s the handle? Tea is too hot for a glass.
I’d still need a spoon to fish the PG Tips teabag out.
It must be an evil plan to get us to buy tea bags with draw strings.
Great, I like it. There’s too much noise. Would definitely buy it.
