Problem/Mission Statement Many Americans have lost their fingers through accidents or war and now have trouble holding coffee mugs

The Struggle of Cripples 90% of cripples missing a finger or more spill coffee on their shirts at least once a week 47% of cripples said they simply stopped drinking coffee because of difficulties with their mugs A shocking 3,000,000 cripples had to get surgery for burnt chest syndrome, a deadly condition wrought on by frequent exposure to hot liquids

Just Kidding!

Real Problems Gripping a coffee mug Multitasking whilst drinking coffee

What Can We Do? Mugs for the Mutilated can make any handicapped individual grip a mug with one hand as long as they have one finger Our new innovative design will free up the other hand of any cripple, making their lives more efficient and easy
