Useless indeed: My patent (Score 1)

What about the other half of the industry that uses their version of
this? I struggle just thinking where I can't do this. I guess using a
cookie or flagging a field in a datbase has NEVER be done before!?!

I am somewhat suspect in Amazons technical prowess at this point. You guys
actually making money yet?

I'm going to rush out and patent the coffee cup. I formerly announce my
plans to form a company based upon this revolutionary idea. I plan to go

public within 6 months. I need venture capitalists! The time to get
onboard is now!

--My Patent--
"The device being used to contain a caffeine based liquid (or other
liquids) in a state of suspension from the surrounding environment. The
design being based on a cylinder in which the lower portion is sealed
with a like substance that composes the cylinders walls. The top-most
portion of the device would not be sealed, thus allowing a person to
place said liquid substance(s) in the device. It could in theory, be
used to remove aforementioned liquid with the mouth or drain it to
larger container.

A round semi-circle being attached to the side in the manufacturing
process can be used to grasp the object by the thumb and index "finger"
of a mammals hand (i.e and simian creature or humanoid).

As a novelty item, clever designs or slogans can be affixed to the
load-bearing outer portion of said device diametrically opposed to the
'handle.'

The device could assume the appearance of a multitude of familiar
objects; including a flower-pot."
