ITEM OF THE DAY Item of the Day: Lucky Pig Mug
Alessandra Rizzotti

Your co-worker is stressing out about being promoted, or your roommate is about take the MCAT.  You want to do something nice to ease his/her pain.  What do you do?  You get him/her a pig!  That is, a mug shaped and painted like a pig that says “Good luck!” inside of it!  Yes, pigs have been associated with greed, gluttony and uncleanliness in Jewish and Islamic cultures and were depicted as Stalin-era Soviet leaders in Animal Farm, BUT, to the Mexicans, Germans and various children’s books and movies, pigs are symbols of good fortune.

Piglet might have been timid in the Winnie the Pooh series, but he always conquered his fears.  Babe overcame obstacles and followed his dreams to become a sheep-herder; not to mention, he was also nominated for several Academy Awards.  Mrs. Piggy not only successfully pursued her love of Kermit, she was also ranked twenty-three out of fifty in TV Guide’s “Greatest TV Stars Of All Time” list.  So pigs do wonderful things and can inspire you too to become the best YOU you can be!  Plus, it’s always nice to have a cute mug in the office.  Get your Lucky Pig Mug HERE today and yes, bacon is delicious, but you don’t need to think about that while drinking out of this dishwasher safe ceramic masterpiece.
