#5: The Placing Says a Lot
This mug sums up the current environment a little too perfectly. If anything, the oddly-placed sticker improves the mug’s design. Before, it most likely said some unbearable, cheerful, corny nonsense like, “The Future Is Here” or “The Future Is Bright”. We’re all for focusing on positivity, but who wants a product that indiscriminately gives false hope?
We have all done it. As a millennial, I am not immune. There is a Rae Dunn piece on my desk reminding me to “Work Hard.” Alas, I don’t need the reminder. A couple of trends need to die. Home decor with stupid phrases written on it is one. No judgments here. It was good for a time, but now it’s done.
