Wiggle free sweets, pah! Sports Direct are Better!

[vernon]

Wiggle used to routinely pack a little packet of wine gums or something similar with your order. It was a nice touch but it became a sporadic action.

I placed a modest order, about £40, with Sports Direct and received a pint pot as a freebie. It's emblazoned with the SportsDirect.com URL but it's the perfect drinks container for when one cup of tea is not enough and two is one too many.

I had one of those. It chips very easily, for no apparent reason. I ditched it in the end when I ran the risk of cutting my mouth every time I had a sip.

Give me 'bo every time.

I keep my toothpaste and toothbrushes in mine.

Mine will not be subjected to the rigours of being washed, only rinsed to build up a coating of tannin to discourage work colleagues from walking off with it. Being distinctive and unique is not enough to prevent mugs from being borrowed for weeks and months at a time. Tannin is a good dissuasion tool.

Already my mug has lasted longer than the sweeties would have done.

I had one of those Sports Direct mugs until I dropped it in the sink at work. It shattered into a thousand tiny shards and a cloud of dust and seemed to be made from some sort of really cheap plaster. I still miss it though
