Monkey Island Drinking Vessel capacity?

[ezzetabi]

I was going to make an order (thanks for the free shipping!) and I am undecided if I should buy the mug (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/tomi-mug) as the description shows no size.

Does anyone know how large the mug is? How much root beer can contains?

Thanks

I think it's big enough to store your pen collection.

[Hayden]

Everyone's pen collection?

You mean that its height is about 15 cm?
It might be an half-litre or us liquid pint sized mug?

I'd like being sure because I do not want pay 20$ for a teaspoon sized mug...

[Icedhope]

I know one thing, I will be drinking grog from it...and then I will be happeh, and drunk. Wooo! My mug.

So obivously you would not be drinking Grog XD, or you'd be sad and dead instead of happy and drunk. Or in the Monkey Island universe, of course. :p

As long as it holds enough coffee to kill a small dog, I'll be happy.

You'd better mean through the sheer force of the coffee falling from the sky and crushing its bones upon impact, because otherwise that's not nearly enough coffee.

Did I say pens? I obviously meant quills. Big enough for your quills collection.

That's what refills are for. As long as each cupful could kill a chihuahua, I'm happy. Not that I'd go around testing it mind you, that would be a waste of good coffee.

I personally prefer to get my caffeine in one go (http://www.bidders.co.jp/dap/sv/nor1?id=61361717&p=y#body).

Good god. That would be enough coffee to drown a small dog. Unfortunately my co-workers probably wouldn't appreciate having to wait for me to fill it.

This is weird, I swear it had a description saying how many ounces of liquid it can hold.
I think it was 15 ounces.

However the fact that they removed this description may mean that this was not true information.

[ezzetabi]

15 ounces? 15/16 of pint? Why not a whole pint?
- Barman! Gimme my pint of root beer... I mean my 15/16 of pint! ;)

Anyway in SI units it means about 443 ml... It should be fine. Can anyone confirm?

[Emily]

Specs are being finalized as we speak, but it'll be either 17oz or 24oz. Plenty big, either way!

Ounces, liquid?

See you guys, you're weird. It's like buying 8 inches of flour, it does not make sense!!

Who the hell buys eight inches of flour? Err...I know I'm going to be drinking a lot of good beers with this.

But an ounce is a measurement of weight...

[Wapcaplet]

But an ounce is a measurement of weight...
Here in the metrically-challenged US of A, it's also a unit of volume, properly known as a "fluid ounce." Apparently, 1 ounce equals 29.57352965 of your milliliter thingies.

[Thespis]

A fluid ounce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce) is a unit of volume, which is what was meant by "17oz or 24oz" on the last page.

ETA: Wapcaplet beat me to it.

[JedExodus]

Hang on, i've just got my head around this. It's this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce) right?

You guys should go metric, it's crazeeeeeee!!

Snap, my friends

Yeah, we kinda half-ass the whole metric thing. We buy 2-liter soft drink bottles and 1-liter water bottles, but milk is still sold in gallons (128 ounces), and soft drink cans are usually 12 ounces. If you're a connoisseur of fine American malt liquors, you're probably familiar with what a 40-ouncer is, too. :)

[Giant Tope]

But metric is an evil commie form of measurement bent on brainwashing kids into becoming commies. I know this because fox news told me.

/sarcasm

[Rather Dashing]

The Imperial Measurement system is better than the metric system for most instances of everyday use. I can seriously argue this point, by the way.

If you do, I will be forced to commit a terible attrocity on American soil.

[Jen Kollic]

Metric, Imperial, I couldn't care less as long as it holds a pint or more.

Though I've never understood why US gallons are different from UK gallons.

I know that distance makes more sense when measured in miles here because lots of the land division and city planning was done on mile-based grid systems.

If you do, I will be forced to commit a terible attrocity on American soil.

Sssshhh! That kind of threat will get you sent to Gitmo!

Dear Mr. NSA person monitoring this thread: he didn't mean it!

[Avistew]

Actually, they measure flour in cups, here :D
Still not used to it. It seems so imprecise.

[ezzetabi]

@Giant Tope
While I consider the Imperial System and the US system aberrations (A dram is 27+11/32 grain.)
I have to agree with Wapcaplet... Thanks for Wikipedia you can easily know all this things...
Do not rush in the forum saying we do not understand the difference between mass and volume.

@Emily
Thanks!


And anyway: we should use Plank units (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units)!

[Giant Tope]

wait what

I didn't say any of the such.

adding: No really, what?

Hey, someone's got to know what Myanmar and Liberia are talking about. :D

We're slowly getting there. I know all my science and math teachers back in middle/high school insisted on using metric, but it's gonna take just a wee bit more than that.

[GinnyN]

That's mostly because the theories were developed in metrics, so, the expressions (formulas) works in metric. Except some fluids ones (I didn't have the pleasure to meet that, but my sister has a signature which, somehow, need to be in imperial) and when you meet Light Theory (When the radians become degrees)

True story, this Superball like type called at the house earlier, when I saw him I near shat the bags!! He was just investigating benefit fraud or something in the area though...but still!!

I guess Antarctica will still go metric before the US, though... :D

[Rather Dashing]

Stay strong, Burma and Liberia. France's laboratory measurement system may have a good PR campaign, but whatever you use is probably capable of being divided into thirds without using an infinitely repeating decimal.

[moonglum]

Could anyone post a real picture of the mug? I'm interested in buying it, but the little icon shown in the shop is not enough for me to decide, if I spend 18$ on it.

Thanks,
Lucas

here's a poor quality mobile phone camera photo:

Wow - thanks for the REALLY fast answer :) Quality is good enough! :)

[corruptbiggins]

It helps that I took that photo a week or so ago for use on another thread!
