Cupcake cafe near where I worked did us £1 lattes if we took our own mugs and one person nearly fucked it all up by repeatedly taking a pint-mug and £1 over there

So a bowl

Sort of. I personally aim for that point where it's not quite a bowl but they still have a handle and are still technically a cup. They're called soup mugs.

Plus the increased surface area means it will cool quicker and you'll be able to get it down without delay.

smugcat10.bsky.social•56 days ago

That's the problem, it cools off too fast! I like it to stay warm longer! 😉

reply

mathghamhna.bsky.social•56 days ago

I had this thought as well, but it then occurred to me that the marshmallows would act as an insulating layer, so the smaller cup with fewer marshmallows by volume may actually cool faster as it loses its lid more quickly. Clearly more research is needed.

Definitely! 😉☕🍫

You can cram in more marshmallows if you double layer them. But you must leave enough room for the cocoa.

In Colombia we put cheese instead of marshmallows... I know non-Colombians find it disgusting, but let me tell you: once you try it I'll change your mind.

Another advantage is that cheese does not float so you can put as many as you can hide in the bottom 😂😂😂
