Would've been a neat canon quirk if all replicator-produced dinnerware were edible, but seldom taken advantage of on account of them being hard and bland... like those "which one is cake" videos where they eat shoes and the like.

That was the issue with those travel mugs. Likely why they’re not sold anymore. Another 90s item that did not last.

The flared base is just for show, inside it has straight sides.

The flared base is to keep it from tipping over during travel, which space stations are known to do a lot of.

No, these were for sale everywhere in the 90s, separate from the show. The idea was you could put your coffee on the dash or on a table in the back of an RV and not have it spill. There was typically a rubber, non-skid bottom.

Now, they’re nowhere.

Cup holder technology made them redundant, and also useless, since they don’t fit in any.

NEXT question: is the base solid clay or is there hollow space between the cylinder and the corners?
