Coffee Mug ads were a staple of diners in a long ago era. I had not seem one in some time. We visited a new diner for breakfast this morning and there it was. A splash of advertising on the coffee mug. The was an ad for a beauty salon, a car repair, a dentist and of course an attorney. Each time I looked at my coffee mug there were the ads staring back at me.
The ads of course helps the restaurant defray the cost of the mugs and in a long ago era also created community. Ads are intruding into every aspect of our life so I would like to enjoy my coffee in peace without the additional stimulus.
