Brrr - These mugs keep my drinks colder longer

I have a lot of glassware and never thought I'd ever buy anything even remotely related to it again, but I'm so glad that I bought these mugs. I bought it in December 2015 and used it regularly over the following weeks. Advantages: 1) Multi-color handles and bottoms are not only colorful, but also can be used to choose drinks or owners. For example, I use one color for water, another for fizzy drinks, and a third for drinks like Martinelli cider. So I always have a bottle ready, no matter what I drink. For families, each member could have a different mug color. Or you can just enjoy choosing the mug color of your choice. 2) They really work. I like cold drinks. When I drink bottled water it gets half hot even in winter and I end up putting the water back in the fridge and getting a fresh, colder bottle. However, with the help of the mug, I fill the mug and my cold water stays cold. My cider stays cold. My soda stays cold. That's great. I can even make an encore and be sure the mug is cold. Note: my 16.9 fl. ounce bottle is larger than the mug, so I usually have a few ounces of liquid left. Even if I wait to pour them into the mug until I've finished, I find that most of the time it's still cold to my satisfaction. Also, if you like fizz and slush you might like it, if you don't you might not, but I've noticed that some drinks poured into mugs create slush. Cider Martinelli does this, as does Shasta soda. Some drinks don't offer this at all, so I suspect it has to do with how highly carbonated the drink is, but if you don't like slush, that could be a downside for these cups. Cons: None for me yet, except for a little sweaty cups outdoors. This is quite normal, so it doesn't bother me that much. Keep in mind I only have them for the winter months but I have a feeling that in summer even though they don't last as long they will still give me a cool drink thanks in the past. Cups are easy to hold. I followed the directions and advice I read in other reviews so I keep it face down in the freezer. I put some aluminum foil on top of the cup before setting it face down in case there is a leak and because it makes me feel better about hygiene. Tip: Make sure the cups are dry when you put them back. Freezer. If you forget, you might find a nice layer of ice at the top when you reach for the mug. You will receive four mugs as shown in the description, one each blue, green, orange and red. They also come in separate boxes, so they make great gifts for others.
