Fake plastic cups make a great conversation starter

Are your friends and co-workers the sort of anti-green naysayers that are always looking to catch you slipping up? What better way to put them in their place than with these ceramic cups that look just like crumpled up disposable plastic cups?

Retailing for $10 and $12 for small and large respectfully, these faux-trash drinking ceramics were designed in 1975 by Dutch ceramicist Rob Brandt. More than 30 years later, they still serve as a fantastic commentary on our disposable society. Brandt was years ahead of his time in recognizing the negative effects of single-use items.

Rob Brandt's Ceramic Crinkle Cups are available from online retailer A+R Store.
