Craigslist ad...

I saw this ad on Craigslist in the “free” section and I had to respond! Quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever read!

Big Gulp Cup 52 ounces

I have a big gulp cup from 7-11 with a coupon on it which says present this label to get your free fountain drink. I am not sure if the bar code on it has already been scanned, or if it could be used again. This mug is tremendous...it holds 52 ounces... almost as much water as you need in a day, but not quite. I am up by the intersection of Cole Mill Rd. and Pleasant Green in Durham, but in Orange Co. Let me know if you want it.

My email response was:

Hello...

I was wondering if the big gulp cup was still available? I currently have a 44 ounce big gulp but was looking to upgrade to the 52 ouncer. Can you tell me more about this cup..ie, color, shape, and texture of the big gulp container. With this recently hot weather the extra 7 ounces would come in handy for better hydration.

Thanks


Her response was this:

It is mug shaped. It is mostly black with some design on it.
It has a top which has a spot that closes, I guess to prevent spills,
although I haven't tested it.

It's yours if you want it.
let me know.

God I love the internet!!!

LOL @ Craigslist

My favorite part is the mug being described as mug shaped.

Look at what I stumbled across today:
