I won, right?

Crossing my fingers!

I want to be the ceramic champion.

This is a cup
not a paper cup
nor an environmental hazard

reuse and reuse
never letting this cup drop
if you do do not fret
it is not paper

Ramen, Ramen, Ramen. It’s what we eat when we’re students and poor. Not to mention, I’m tired of using all those paper cups. I work with kids I need coffee, so I drink a lot. :)

save-a-buck buy this cup. love it.

I want. But yet I fear.
Over-zealous workmates, of the eco-conscious nature.
May attempt to recycle.
:(

So amazingly cool!

Give me this. Let me disguise my caviar-eating ways as I pretend to blend in with my office underlings while they slave away and I “supervise”.

These would reduce the carbon footprint of my two most delicious addictions!

form follows function

Is there ramen worthy of that ramen cup? :)

Don’t you hate it when you feel pressured to be clever and witty and, well, you just cant. Maybe, if I had some coffee …

2 things. raspberry hot chocolate and ramen. total win on cold days!

FLYING PURPLE PEOPLE EATER. :D

sweet. as a university student, coffee and ramen are my staple food.
If I have these, even if I can’t be good to my body, at least I can be good to the environment! :P

I heart the cup noodle cup…

I would love to use these if only because I’m allergic to wheat and cannot actually eat ramen anymore.

adorable cup! i want! pleeze!?

oh maybe i’ll win

Ramen o kudasai! And a cup of tea to chase it.

^————^

so great for my lunch and learn seminars!

I love these!!!! Amazing!

green is the new black…

I can has win contest?

“I am not the winning comment…”

I am not a loser!! You may send me the prize now.

I’ve seen these around - very cool! Great pop art.

NOODLE NOODLE, CUP A SOUP
DOODLE POODLE, LIKES TO POOP
PAPER, PLASTIC, LETS HOPE NOT
CAUTION CERAMIC, MAYBE HOT
RAMEN KUNG FU COFFEE FUN
NOT AS COOL AS MY CERAMIC BUM

I used to keep a supply of cup noodles in my filing cabinet. They wonder why I never file any of the crap on my desk.

Now all I need is some ceramic coffee and noodles to put into these.

TO THE LABS!

I want to get these for my co-worker, she loves this style of art/decor!

awesome

If I win this prize, I vow to not accept another styrofoam or paper cup for my morning ‘joe or lunchtime Pho.

I could finally one up my friends for buying Starbucks all the time, because hey, I’ve got a ceramic cup! Good luck buying your four dollar coffee.

I am not a paper cup either…

People who need their caffeine fix, really need it, could give a crap about saving the environment. They just want their coffee and they don’t care at whose expense.

lovely gifts!

I’ve been thinking about getting one of those cups for a while now. Would be awesome to have one!

so i actually was shopping at a store that sells the cup of noodles and I’m only 5 foot 2 inches, when I was walking around a corner and got startled by a gynormous 6 foot 4 inches plus man who was walking around a corner, so I jumped and hit a display of the cup of noodles and broke one. So I technically have bought one because I had to pay for it; however, I do not get to eat my noodles out of a sexy ceramic cup. Sad!!

A haiku:

This cup of noodles
In pristine white ceramic
Oh my! How classy.

All I want for Xmas is you :)

Noodles + Coffee = Bliss!

umm im not even sure if im eligible to win given i live in merry ole england and not in the states and all and i dont even call them ramen, they will always be two minute noodles to me…but umm why not

These are amazing!

I saw this the other day and thought it would be a nice addition to my collection.

Whoa! You’re blowing my mind in such a good way

Made from Recycled Awesomeness…just like me!

I’m pretty sure I could save the world if I win this giveaway.

nice eco-friendly idea, hope it comes with some kind of ramen/coffee refill coupon ;)

help save the earth, re-use your disposables!! ;)

i’d love that cup!

AAAAAGGHHH! This pseudostyrofoamcup is lodged in my eye!

this is ridiculously cute

Makes me want to be asian

These would be great in the studio… 80% of my garbage is paper coffee cups! Help me help our * environment- it’s a win win situation, yes?

i want it soooo baddd…

Noodles and coffee. Yum.

A must for college kids. ^_^

noodles and coffee is what i live on! they were thinking of me when they made these.

I have been wanting that mug since it came out!!! Dear GOD, I hope I win.

I’d love to win this one.

can i drink coffee in the noodle cup and eat noodles in the I’m not a paper cup?

i think so!

& maybe i will have some funny drinks in both!

These things are so “me”. They’re fun, ironic and a bit twisted. I’m looking at these for gifts but I’m unsure if everyone else would “get it” like I do.

I need this cup for my son who is a grad student———all he eats is noodles!!! and more noodles!!! He would like this a lot.

Finally a way to make me feel a little less like a bum while eating my ramen noodles!

COFFEE!

NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A TACO!

“And now, from the same factory that’s brought you your porcelain throne for over 100 years, comes a product so close to your heart you’ll just cry”

Count me in!!!

je ne suis pas une tasse en papier.

if you know Rene Magritte then you will know the similarity.

“Hair, Hair, Long Beautiful Hair.”
-Sir Winston Churchill

I think I would just enjoy confusing the hell out of Starbucks workers with the cup!
As a college student the ceramic noodle cup would make it almost gourmet!

the ceramic paper cup might just get me to start drinking caffeine again…

this is rad. i always order my coffee like this…small coffee in medium cup, no lid. to save lids, you know, and also to have a little extra room so the coffee doesn’t spill out. i don’t know, maybe the medium instead of small cup nullifies the fact that i don’t get a lid. regardless, owning this cup would solve the problem!

OOOhhhh I’ve been wanting these for a long time! Eco-friendly and ohh so creative!

count me in!

Being the new kid was always hard. you move every other year, school yard friends come and go. you get better at remembering names and tid-bits of information. You can always re-invent yourself, that was the perk but after many years, you just wish for something of substance. In Asheville, North Carolina I was a budding sculptor. In Tucson, Arizona i was a strung out junkie (or so i told everyone i ran into.) I ran my fingers through the branches of the conifers in Dixie National in Utah.
Through it all wondering if there would ever truly be a way to make this unstable and uncertain life of mine, last.
Driving into the dark over the Tennesee border, cup of coffee in the dash. Eating out of styrofoam and paper. Driving the point home that nothing can last forever.
The old masters believed in forever. Using materials forged by the earth, sand and stone weathered by water.
Could it be possible that perpetual kid realized this deep philosophical journey would be underway?
Is it simply that NOTCOT was the true open road?
I still desire the balance between permanence and flux. maybe today is the day for true change…

i am not a paper cup either.

I would love these SOOOOO BAD! I heart ramen like nobodys buisness!! But I may have to give it to my buddy who even has a RAMEN BLOG!

So cool!

Oooh! I’ve been looking for a To Go coffee cup! The noodle bowl is pretty rad too.

that not cup is the only one that will fit in my antiquated car cup holder! I have been denied coffee in traffic for too long….

Please oh please oh please oh please.

I am not a paper cup either…It must be our destiny - we are meant to be together!

Gotta love the re-usable stuff.
Especially when it’s funky looking!

so rad!

So useful, and so pretty…

:-D

need some hot ceramic receptacle action!

NOTCOT not using “i am not a paper cup?” No you DID not…

…(-_-)(_ _)(-_-)(=_=)… i need a cup for some coffee…

How sweet is the non-throw-away ramen cup?

I used to avoid those paper mugs, convert me!

Please please!! I really want this so bad

my two daughter will enjoy…eating sometihing made of polymers in a not plastic cup…
best wishes

Aaaaa too many comments already

Now I can feel like a caffeine addict all the time. And I’ll never be accused of not being asian enough ever again.

YO HOOK ME UP….. I ACTUALLY DON’T HAVE ANY PLATES OR CUPS OR POTS..
I AM FOR REALS B
I JUST GOT A DIVORCE

I have a habit on chewing on cups while I’m drinking coffee. If I get one of these…my teeth will break.

omnomnomnom noodles~

I’ve always liked the minimalistic Japanese style, and it’s no different here. Cute irony, clean design, love it!

There’s nothing like a nice warm cup of ramen on a cold winter’s morning.

the funny part is i made a “prototype” to this when i was in college. I was a ceramic major and i made a cast of a starbucks cup, but i didnt get the lid to work. So this would be amazing to have! wish i had thought of the silicon lid, oh well.

no i am not a commentator!

mmm ceramics

Technology is all around us- cars, computers, cell-phones, iPods, USB cables, robots, lamps, malls- and all of it used, uses, or was made with, technology. So the question of what technology has had the biggest impact on my life is really hard to answer. When I first read the prompt, I immediately thought INTERNET! I mean, the internet has ingrained itself so much into everyone’s life that many wonder how we would live without it. But after a little thinking, I realized, the internet isn’t exactly a technology, it uses technology. It is just a connection of huge collections of servers by gigantic fiber-optic cables that cover the globe. With my first thought eliminated, I had to think about the question more carefully- Computers? iPods? Cell phones? While I use all of these every day, none have really impacted my life. So what has? In my mind, I traced the origins of all of these devices, and ended up at the same spot. The Pencil.
The Pencil is the most normal object out there- it is cheap, simple, and everywhere. It is also the starting point for everything, as they are just extensions of one’s brain (which is the greatest technology/non-technology out there). Without the pencil, none of the aforementioned technologies would exist- no one could shout “Eureka!” and run out of the bath to a pencil and pad and develop a simple solution to a complex problem. Without the pencil, no one could design the iPod, the internet, or the computer. So how did this technology originate?
Well, sometime in the 1500s, a huge graphite deposit was found in England, near Borrowdale. This deposit was more pure than usual, and the locals found that they could easily whittle it down into sticks. As the science scene at the time was rather cold, they thought this material to be a form of lead (and today, we still call it lead), but in reality it is actually a form of carbon. Anyways, this was (still really is) the only large-scale deposit of solid graphite, so many tried to turn powdered graphite into the stick form. In 1662, the first successful attempt to do this was made using a combination of sulfur and antimony.
The Italians were the ones who came up with the ingenious idea of a wooden holder for this lead stick. Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti came up with the first idea of a wooden pencil for marking carpentry pieces. Unlike the modern pencil, this concept was a more oval shaped pencil, and was made using a hollowed out juniper tree twig. Soon later, a much more efficient model was introduced: cut the twig in half, hollow it out, place the graphite stick inside, and glue it back together. This same method is used today in the production of pencils.
Now that the pencil had been created, many set out for ideas to improve it. One important innovation, still used today, is the pencil with the eraser attached. No one had even thought of this idea until Hymen Lipman patented it in 1858. Another huge advancement in pencil technology was the formation of different graphite “weights”. The weight of graphite in pencils determines how dark or light a line drawn with it is. Graphite today is made by combining graphite powder and clay in different ratios, to produce different weights. The man who came up with this process was Nicholas Jacques Conté.
So where is this technology headed? Well, as of today, the most popular pencils are called mechanical pencils, due to the fact that everything on it is replaceable and they never need sharpening. Technology in these pencils has reached its peak- no one needs a pencil that with graphite so perfect it costs $300 a stick. I believe the next step is to create pencils that record what you write. If you can calibrate a pencil to your writing, and then write with it, instantly a whole new world of functionality appears. Whether it be the ability to write an essay by hand, then proofread it later, or send text messages by writing it out with a pencil, this technology would be looked upon as a necessity soon after its (affordable) conception. Another possible leap forward in pencil technology are pencils that sync up with computers to get rid of the need for a tablet. This would make drawing on the computer so much more natural, in addition to giving you both a real and digital rendering of your art. All I can say is this- while the insides of the pencil have been developed fully, the possibilities of what pencils can do is endless.

and yes, I wrote that.

Noodle Noodle noodle, I made you out of clay, noodle noodle noodle.

And with you I will play!

I love the mug!

If only the cup o’ noodles came with dehydrated green onions!

noodle me!

I’ve been dying for the “i am not a paper cup” for a month…always sold out. that mug makes me smile, it’s so good.

Woe to anyone in the office who throws out my cup.

I would love to have the perpetual white ceramic cup as my own. I would fill it with delicious beverages on the daily and giggle when people realize the innate cleverness that it carries. I would show it attention with hot chocolate and love with blueberry green tea. It would be my little companion, my little bearer of deliciousness.

looking at them since a while… me likey!

Where we come from, there was no “ceramic cups” this kind of thing. We work hard and labor long hour to use paper cup! Everyone wake up early in morning to work in field. We are growing the paper cup, the foam peanut, and the plastic bag. Plastic bag always hardest to grow. We did not even have shoes for feet, and we walking far to sell plastic bag and foam peanut at market. And after cold winter, you are left with only paper cup in hand. During war, not even have paper cup!

i can has not paper cup?

coffee & ramen are delicious!

These are the best baby shower gifts I’ve seen. You can count on nobody else giving the new baby stuffed pee & poo.

Q: What do you call “Fear Factor” in Asian countries?

A: Lunch

recycling is the way to go!!!
God bless our troops

Very cool products. I recently saw and almost bought the I Am Not A Paper Cup.

The Cup’o’Noodle Kid strikes again

loving the coffee cup. now where’s the porcelain spork?

best coffee cup EVER!

i heart fake paper real ceramic cups.

These are so cool, Ive been lusting after the to go cup for so long!

Recited from memory.
The Jabberwocky:

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh, Callay!
He chortled in his joy.

In this often not-so-fantastic-world, joys such as these are what make silly people smile uncontrollably, leaving the rest of the world decidedly unimpressed with the whole affair. I love the travel mug, in particular. I’ve had the same mug for four years now. The insulation is cracked the handle broken, but it’s hard to justify buying a new one. It is a good thing! I love it. Travel mugs should be kept as far into forever as possible! That is their very purpose for existence. Durability and unwavering loyalty to their friend and owner.
Anyway,
Enjoy life.

i heart ramen!

Ah, love these novelty items.

NOOOOOOM!!! So many ramen noms.

Yay reusable AND ceramic! This is perfect for those of us trying to cut down on our plastic consumption too!

Hey guys, c´mon, I know that I will not win that gorgeous teapot from the other Giveaway, so let me have the cup at least !!!!

coffee and noodles,
tasty and so good to eat,
breakfast of champions.

this haiku goes out to all those who love coffee and noodles.

i’m fueled by ramen baby!!!

with the amount of ramen i eat…i NEED this!!

Oh man! I love it when my diningware plays mind games with me. I remember one time when I was in high school and went to Chili’s for the first time. I did not realize that glass steins of water were actually made of plastic! I lifted my (plastic) glass a little too forcefully and splashed water all over my face. This product reminds me of that embarrassing age where every little stupid thing brings you shame.

But, hey, I also love that it is eco-friendly. Hooray for sustainability and visual trickery!

Love the coffee mug!

not that I drink coffee… or tee for that matter… but this cup is just brilliant.

I would walk into starbucks with it and tell them that I brought my own cup :) I would rule the nation

i am making a fun comment

Brilliant!!!!!!

That’s exactly what I want for xmas!

what a fun idea!

oodles of noodles!

A friend and I have briefed on how guilty we feel for adding seasoning salt to ramen, an already terribly alarming saltified treat. We’ve started a support group.

This would be the perfect accessory for my “I need a fucking coffee” tee!

Mhmhhmmm makes me hungry!

Sustainable Noodling. Be For It.

Being a first year starving design student, I eat a lot of noodles and drink too much coffee. If someone designed an object that I would need and love, I’m pretty sure this would be it.

coffee + ramen, all my favorite things!

I’m cold and hungry, and these would be perfect!

Ceci n’est pas une pipe
Ceci n’est pas une tasse de papier.

my coworker eats noodles everyday!

Sweet! Now I can be green at work when I have coffee… and at home when I eat noodles! :)

I am not a paper cup alwasys reminds me of the PETA sticke with the chick saying “I am not a Nugget” also duely noted the Owen Hart I am Not a Nugget. Yes i Was a Nerd and watched wrestling when i was younger but is swear it was when it was good just before the down fall. Now give me the Ceramic cup. I NEEDS ME THAT. OOOHH NO GOING THROUGH CAFFIENE WITHDRAWL…. NE ME A CUP

I am not desperately trying to win a NOTCOT giveaway.

can’t wait to draw my own logo on this coffee cup.

I NEED these because I AM a college student, with an apartment and very little money but at the same time I have environmentally conscious (as much as I can be). I’m the only roommate who recycles! Help me out please!

I can exactly remember the scent as the noodles cook, as I waited for it to cool down enough for me to eat it. This is something so far back and knowing it is ceramic is more than enough for me to want it. : )

Here in the Philippines my lunch is coffee on one hand and a cup of noodles on the other. I think these gifts are meant to be mine :)

I’m loving that we’re leaving the disposable era and entering into the recyclable era! Also love how these mimic the look of paper/Styrofoam!

Could use these to house my daily work diet nad beverage of choice.

Funky-do.
i esp love the Not a paper cup !

In Engrish: “I don’t lick paper craps!”

In English: “I don’t like paper cups!”

I would totally use the noodle cup all the time
i’d probably end up putting oatmeal in it instead though LMFAO.

These are brilliant.

I’m a South African living in London and the weather is getting worse by the day.

This is definitely a must have for these bloody cold mornings.

love ‘em!

my dream is to save a not-so-plastic-cup from the deep dark depths of a dumpster one day. like on the 25th or so :)

perfect for my ramen!

Excelent !!!

I simply not know what to comment anymore, but the hope of playing and (maybe someday) winning is just too appealing..

i’m eco-friendly in a way that i bring my own eating utensils whenever i eat out, so i must have these.

OH MY GOD CERAMIC NOODLE CUP

OH MY GOD CERAMIC DRINKING CUP

THINGS THAT I MUST OWN: +2

Nooooooooooodle

Awesome!

I’m a starving grad student that eats top ramen all the time, this would be perfect!

i need to eat more noodles

I love ramen!

I love my “It’s not a papercup!” I know I am going to break it….let me have a backup!

Noodles are fun for everyone especially in a ceramic noodle cup!

The College Kid’s Breakfast of Champions! I feel like I may be the most qualified since I used an old vodka bottle as a water bottle this morning! Hey, it was classy!

being in college I know the importance of a good noodle cup, these look super fun

I WANT!

PERFECT!!!! my 2009 new years resolution of a noodle and coffee diet would be so much easier with these two items…..fingers crossed…oh how i love my noodles :)

Please let it be (ra)MINe

i always like new ways to consume my daily caffeine.

Art has beaten science, industry, and technologies’ paper cup. :-)

These are pretty darn clever!

I am not a person with an I am not paper cup. I want to be a person with an I am not a paper cup.

ooo awesome stuff! i am the perpetual kid!

My shoesize is 11
yes, that’s also how many noodle cups I have a day as well

If you wanted my ceramic cups I would give them to you.

the papercup has been on my wishlist for a while now. this is awesome!

ju chi meammm I need my nooddless

Me please? Yum, yum, yum.

waaaaaa
wo ai niii

I am in desperate need of a new coffee cup - my housesitter broke my old favorite and he also flooded my kitchen while running my dishwasher using laundry detergent.
Since you aren’t sponsoring a contest for a new Fisher&Paykel, I am hoping I might win these super cool ceramics to sip my coffee from and make me smile.
And it’s hard to smile when you need to buy a new dishwasher and fix a linoleum floor!
I LOVE THE NOTCOT EMPIRE…

I want that!

Dearest notcot,

I have written a haiku for you:

Notcot eats my time.
I demand retribution.
This will due nicely.

keep up the good work.

Love,
Chris

Being a college student, I could eat my ramen with class now and all my peers will be jealous. That or I’ll tell them where to get their own!! :)

noodle me once, shame on you. noodle me twice, shame on me. for not keeping the ceramic mug you are offered me the first time!

This will make a lovely addition to the “i am not a styrofoam cup” and “im not a disposable take out container” collection.

i want to be a perpetual kid. make my dream come true.

I would love to win this cup! I’m constantly on the road and being able to skip the disposable cups at all the cafes and gas stations would be devine!

Ok, others may be kissing up to you, oh masquerading ceramic cup, but I am going to call you out like the villain you are. With your double-walled insulation, I know you lie in wait, keeping the beverage hotter than we think, so that we scald our tongue when we use you. I know that the fact that we cannot tell how hot you are simply by touching your exterior furthers this diabolical plan.

I’m here to take you away, so that you do not lure other innocent, unsuspecting victims into your web of deceit.

And you, noodle cup, may think I don’t see you. You’re wrong. I do. You’re on notice as well.

“I’m not a paper cup!” Said the cup in a chirpy voice.
“Well I’m not a polystyrene noodle cup…you don’t see me telling the world”, mumbled the noodle cup.
“Oh you are such a noodle brain, have some fun!” exclaimed the cup.
“At least I’m not an airhead like you!” the noodle cup snapped back, “Spilling your juices everywhere!”

I am not a paper cup either!

Ramen noodles in coffee could make for a happy morning. I can sleep when I am dead.

I can haz C U P ?

does it come with real noodles? with or without.. .it would make my life a little bit more green. Reuse!

If I won this is what I would do:

Use that noodle cup just about every day because I love noodles… and it’s probably going to get bumped up to 3 times a day next fall since I’ll be goign to college.

Give the not paper cup to my theatre teacher because he gets starbucks EVERY DAY and I kinda can’t stand seeing all those paper cups and plastic lids going in his trashcan every day. And as an artist, I would naturally have to paint the starbucks logo in the outside to make is transition easier… haha!

“I am not a winner…” but I could be wrong

would make my life alor easier! and the cup is just so awesome

I don’t believe I have an inner child. I did, at one point, but I’m fairly sure I sold it for cake money. I like cake. It’s sweet and yummy. Inner children can be overrated. Cake? Cake is never overrated or unappreciated.

But I digress; I’d like to win this contest so that I may be able to lure my inner child back.

BTW… do you sell cake?

kinda wish the coffee cup was packaged different but I’ll take one.

The ceramic “foam” cup is GENIUS! And so well executed too.

i need some entertainment

these are extremely tasteful.

MMM… Noodles!

How does it know it’s not a paper cup? It looks like a paper cup for sure so I’m guessing it’s just a regular paper cup trying to make a career. Well, guess what, missy: it ain’t gonna happen! Go back to your paper brothers and sisters, because you’re not special. And if you say one more word about it, you’re getting recycled, get it? End of discussion.

The noodles thingy looks ok though. Made in China?

yay to coffee-cup-looking drinkware!

Any twenty-something knows the glory and value of a cup of noodles… I WANT! :)

Im sitting with a 30 page paper on Cuba’s prospects for democratization. I go to school in North Dakota (NORTH DAKOTA!) it was -10F when i woke up on Friday. Please I need some motivation.. A hot coffee cup or a kickass ramen cup would make my winter!

These are just great!

oh, very cool. pick me, please.

You know, these could be weapons too. The “I Am Not A Paper Cup” is pretty heavy for it’s size. Thus, I’d like to win for the simultaneous coffee drinking/self defense that would ensue-imagine walking down the street with a cup of coffee, when a mugger approaches. Simply slam your coffee cup on his head, leaving your purse intact and an untraceable weapon in your hand…really, is anyone going to expect the guy with a cup of coffee?

What I wouldn’t do to win these… fortunately, leaving a comment isn’t among them.

Oh god I would love to win these, woot for RAMEN and coffee~

perpetual kid has the cutest stuff & notcot was how i first discovered it. i love them both!

Bring on the noodle cup! :)

Just seeing these pictures today made my day :D

They’re like the high-end equivalent of college essentials. =D

As many people prefer sipping soda through a straw in a take-away cup with a lid, so do I enjoy my elixir of life from a plastic-lidded cup. Travel mugs just don’t cut it, with their recessed sippy-holes and superfluous handles. I’d rather be less wasteful and not use paper cups, but because I don’t care for them I keep losing my travel mugs. But lo! This beautiful solution would not only satisfy my plastic-lid cravings, but also make me the envy of other arty-types AND keep my coffee hot far longer than any paper cup ever could. A beautiful solution, appealing to my sense of efficiency and orderliness.

Plus, I’d love to fill my ramen cup with distinctly not-ramen items, just to be that bit of non-sequitur in the eyes of random onlookers. Is that fresh-cut fruit in her ramen cup? Chicken shawarma? Gummi Life Savers? How…odd.

(And frankly, I’m surprised that more people have not posted variants of Magritte’s “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.”)

YUMMMMM…NOODLES!

I’m a Cup o Noodles guy

The ceramic noodle cup has creative packaging!

I hope the ceramic is durable

great products

This is not a funny comment.

I want them both!

Somebody else want to win this? :D

This is awesome. Please choo choo choose me.

heh, all of these are pretty awesome!

i need this!

I do love noodles.

These will totally class up my grad school diet of red bull and top ramen. If I win, I promise to eat ramen with one pinky lifted up while thinking warm thoughts of NotCot

with the cup and noodle porcelain yuminess, my meals will be complete! Great Giveaway!

Can I ask for a free refill with the ceramic cup?

The only difference between myself and a paper cup, is that I am not a paper cup.

OMG, I’m like a grad student and this will really class up my daily diet of Cup of Noodles and Red Bull. If you give it to me, I promise to eat ramen with my pinky lifted up thinking warm, warm, ramenlicious thoughts of NotCot.

this would do nice w/ my noodle collection

I am not a fun comment.

These are awesome! Thanks for the coupon!

I just hope I don’t accidentally confuse them with the real (and disposable) thing…

The clever irony of waste packaging products as reusable items. Absolutely love and want it!

to truly fulfill my Asian potential, i need this reusable ceramic noodle cup. pick me!

yum

green is the new gold

Eating instant noodle will never be da same again!!!
n also my special cappuccino in my fav fav fav CUP!
plainly tooo coool!!!!!!!!!
love em’

I needs, i needs, such a great product!

i’m not a disposable junkie

I like them.

Oooo! Purty! If I were to win I’d probably end up buying another coffee cup from them, because I can’t imagine my family leaving this one alone:)

niice!

I have no clever witty little comment but I would love love love that’I am not a paper cup’ - been coveting it for months - just like everyone else!
Pick me, pick me!

i want to drink my morning tea on the London underground without spilling it everywhere.

Why do people call it ‘RAMEN’?
It’s SUPERMI you dodoheads.

INDONESIAN PRIDE.

My cat’s name is mittens, my mom says my paper cup isn’t a paper cup…

I’m allergic to paper so this would make me feel like everyone else,
thanks!

I don’t mind jumping on the bandwagon with this….but what happens when our porcelin reserves get low people???? Porcelin doesn’t grow on trees ya know :-p

RAMEN!!!

I am a college student. I LOVE Ramen Noodles. Not only do I love them, I eat them constantly. Of course, I must microwave them, we have no stove on our floor, but it works. Right know, I am stuck eating them out of old, normally one time-use food containers. If I could somehow get one of these, it would definitely solve my problems. I just know in my heart that this is the one thing missing from my life. I have been searching my whole life for this very thing, a ceramic noodle cup.

Not to mention that I am stuck stealing paper cups and lids from our university food establishment to put coffee in.

Man, Perpetual Kid maybe make the most turbo-awesome products I have ever seen.

I am a coffee-drinking-noodle-eating-environmentally-friendly-asian, thus, these two fine inventions would be excellent way for me to keep being me.

That cup-o-noodle cup is brilliant. I must have one!

perfect companion for my black gold in the mornings!

I want these!!! the coffee cup is specially beautiful…

I’m not a person, who don’t like winning…

Finnaly! I can enjoy these delicacies without the execrable styrofoam aftertaste. Thanks notcot!

one ramen bowl to rule them all!

Open letter to a cleverly disguised ceramic cup and bowl

Dear cleverly disguised ceramic cup and bowl, you intrigue me with your paper-like look, yet hard exterior. At first glance you seemed cold and rigid, like a corpse in rigor mortis. I pondered this for a while; did you think of yourselves as dead and unlovable? Were you having an identity crisis, worried that because you looked disposable no one would ever take you seriously in your work? I admit, cleverly disguised ceramic cup and bowl, it kept me up at nights. I understand what you might be going through. To be a “mix.” Perhaps your father was a dead beat paper cup, and your mother of a porcelain china tea set. They met on the kitchen counter. She was struck by his flashy colors and easygoing flare; he by her see-through shell and delicate features. It was a lustful passion that ended in heartbreak for your mother as your father left in a flurry with those trashy napkins and flousie leftovers. She raised you alone, but every time she looked at you she saw Him. You had the look of your father, but the soul of your mother. Kids called you “sheet rock”—‘hard on the outside, white on the inside.’ You took it in stride and built yourself a life of substance and culture, where you met each other and formed an unstoppable duo; realizing there were others like you in the world, and all they needed was a spokesperson to say “Yes we can” change the world! And people saw you in a new light, giving hope to beverage containers of all makes and models. Cleverly disguised ceramic cup and bowl, you are inspirations to us all.

i need this for my morning cup of caffeine and oatmeals. it’ll make breakfast hip again!

I love the idea of a reusable noodle and coffee cup. So fun!

Those are a must for college life! =)

Haiku:

I’m not paper cup,
absorbing liquid goodness.
Drink not sour bleach taste!
_________
Trendy ramen cup—
like startling bright diamonds
attached to flip-flops.

I love these

Cup of noodles always remind me of late nights where my mother and I would stay up watching some cheesy soap opera or some infomercial. They make me miss my mom.

Awesome stuff :) Imagine the odd looks at the office, drinking coffee from an instant ramen cup :)

these would be nice to get. :)

These would be awesome, though I can’t promise that they would both hold ramen and or coffee all the time.

I am not a Paper Cup,
In your sneaky, cool disguise.
I wonder how my drinks would taste,
If I could win you as a prize…

I want you, Ceramic Noodle Cup,
To house my noodles, dear.
My chopsticks won’t squeak down your sides
or poke holes in your rear.

god i am super snacky right now.

loved these since i first saw them! the commentary on disposable vs. reusable is great, and as a college student these are just perfect.

Awe-suuuh-um! I need these. Puh-leee-heez?

lovelovelove! Happy Holidays everyone!!!

i am not a fleshy sack

porci-paper

“I am not green with envy…”

I’ve been meaning to pick up an “I am not a paper cup” for a long time now… whoever was the first person to come up with the idea of making plastic/paper cups out of ceramics is brilliant… simply brilliant! Pick me, please!

oh, i’ve always wanted this. it is so cute!

I am not sure to win that, but sure do want to

For the longest time I pronounced ramen “ra-MEN” with the emPHAsis on the second sylLAble. Until it made my friend laugh and laugh because it sounded like I was trying to make it all pretentious and fancy. “Would you like some ramén?”

You know, in that cup, my ramen actually would be all pretentious and fancy.

I’ve totally been eyeing these up for a bit now. They’d make working while eating/drinking coffee in the studios just a bit more convenient.

I am a ridiculously large fan of Ramen as well as tea, so this would be a fantastic idea for my half-japanese self.
I am a broke teenager with no job, so buying these is not an option. haha

I’m not a paper cup either!

in pain and insane for white porcelain!

Ineed the cup, really. early early mornings, 4 months old baby, a dog, and not one coffe shop open. Don’t you think?

the “this is not a cup” is a great idea. i think it’s a tie with the ceramic crumpled “plastic” cup and the greek cup.

oh man, I’ve been meaning to get “I am not a paper cup” for my coffee obsessed friend for a while now!

These cups are pure genius! There re-usable possibilities create infinite opportunities.

I am hoping that the “I am not a paper cup” will bring to fruition my “I am not a major nerd” look.
Accessories make the person, right?

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY DIE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE. The visual play on those highly generic items make them even more unique.

I am not a comment.

I think I should win because I like noodles and I like ceramics. :D

Thanks for the chance to win and the coupon! Good luck everyone, Jeff

I’m a poor college student who lives off of ramen and coffee and would absolutely ADORE these. :]

I’ve been wanting to get the “I Am Not A Paper Cup” for some time now. But they don’t sell it where I live!!!

Sometimes I like to go to grad school with coffee, and I could be the coolest kid in class if I had that ceramic cup. Then maybe I could make some friends and enjoy the ‘good life’ and to imagine all that is only a sweet cup away.

All that aside, here’s my comment! thanks for keeping up the site

Surely there is no better match than the cermaic ramen cup.

As a full-blooded Taiwanese, complete with yellow skin and slanty eyes, I feel most at home with a bowl of ramen in my hands. There are always packages of ramen in the pantry from the local Asian grocery store that need a bowl to fit it.

And as a future freshman in college, I predict that I will be spending many a lonely night with a bowl of ramen in my hands. So let’s not be wasteful and reuse a simple, but fun ramen cup.

The coffee cup will be an added plus to keep me awake during finals week.

bring it on..stay green! :)

I Am Not A Giveaway Winner!

Pick me please!

Now I won’t have to waste paper cups every monday morning!

‘I am not a human’ meh? but I deserve to win this.

i’m always looking for new ways to make ramen classy!

With those cups, my conscience would be much more balanced knowing that while I’m destroying my body - I’m protecting the environment. It’s very zen.

Go caffeinated msg!

I EAT RAMEN EVERYDAY.

Man, these giveaways are getting better every time!
With one of these not paper cups, I would be the coolest person in my office and I will be green! I deserve it!

hahahaha when i first saw this a week ago i decided to eat noodles just to give myself an excuse to buy this

These seem appropriate, as coffee cups and cup o’ noodles are staples of the college kid.

this and the bowl with a handle are on my list

I’m suddenly having a violent craving for coffee and noodles…

My mom would love the I’m not a paper cup.

I’ll eat oodles of noodles from my noodle cup,
tea in my not paper cup, I’ll drink it right up!
This diet I will not adopt on NOTCOT’s accord,
because just out of college, it’s all I’ll afford!

perpetual, yet perplex…one please!

i like to move it, move it.

I’d love love love to have these!!

aww i just bought one of the noodle cups for my best friend! we constantly eat ramen! haha

I love them, they are a great idea for someone who goes to starbucks alot and can just get it filled there without throwing away endless cups, and the noodle cup is great for all those college kids who are eco friendly (me), but since Ive stopped my coffee intake, and have been decreasing all things MSG, I wouldnt have to much use for them…But damn, just looking at those noodles, they look soooo good (gargles). Maybe I will start up on the noodles thing…

Nothing better than free environmentally friendly stuff!

Those are cool! I’d like one.

I need these because:

1. My room is full of enough empty coffee cups to start my own coffee shop.

2. I’ve got enough cup’o noodles in my pantry to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool.

3. I’m a poor college student who can’t afford either. :(

Is the ceramic noodle cup double-walled, like the cup? If so, awesome!

fantastic.

But if I “just say no” to paper cups, how where will I get my words of wisdom from people I have never heard of?

I want some cool stuff!!!!

me want

eco-awesome

‘I am not a paper cup…’ is equal parts charm and subtle insidiousness. Just like me.

with a “paper” cup like that i might actually be one of those jackasses who brings a reusable cup to the coffee shop.

cool

Cups! I love them!

I like cups!

i saw this at urban outfitters yesterday and thought to myself. its so clever.

Yes… I will use these on my looong commute out on the LIRR to my sterile budget-slashed state school… I will still look like a starving grad student, and still spend like a starving grad student, but I will feel a little better. And they’re way less disposable than my degree! sweet!

add some nutella and a baguette and this is the COMPLETE college meal!

i rove lamen

I live off of hot water and ramen noodles. College diet’s amazing :)

i need the cup!

I absolutely love this! Honestly though, if I got this I’d give it to my sister who is also very environmentally conscious… hm… This is something I’d want to get a few close people to inspire them to reduce and reuse, or if they already do- to help them to proudly show it off! Of course I want one as well though. :)

My urban and environmental planning professor would probably cream himself over these.

I drink tea almost religiously and bike everywhere. I have been wanting to get the “I am not paper cup” to rig inside my bike frame for biking to class everyday during the winter. What a classy deal, nice dark gray bike and a clean white “paper” cup in the frame. Ideal.

noodles

I CAN HAS CUPZ…? FOR MUDKIPS…?

“Ceci n’est pas une pipe” or “This is not a pipe” by Rene Margritte

ooooh. i drink so much coffee, this would be perfect!

I need fun things like these to inspire me to be funny in these posts!

I would make these out of ceramic myself but i dont have the skill.
how about one of them so i could do a mold. ill send you a copy :P

the ceramic noodle cup is so cool!
I like eating food out of a special container, it makes what ever I’m eating special even if its only plain noodle or rice.

haha…I can see myself using this for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I have this disease. it’s terrible. all i do is eat ramen, but the packets are so much cheaper than the cups. My ailment is that it IS NOT THE SAME to eat ramen from a bowl than from a cup. PLEASE HELP! i need a synthetic transplant!

so cute and quirky, i especially like the im not a plastic cup.

the college students complete service repertoire
oh how I want

I am not a NOTCOT commenter!

omg theses would be perfect for work.
they decided not to provide cups for us anymore so i’m always forgetting to bring one, i would always remember this one to show it off. and one of my drawers at work has like five cup noodles right now.

Does it come with ceramic chopsticks?

Can never go wrong with Fred!

And this is not a winning post.

The above statement’s validity is a conditional.

Wow, all of the aesthetics of disposable dishes with all of the advantages of real ceramic ware. Very nice.

That cup is my destiny…so long, double-cupped short americanos.

wow, this would bring starving college student cuisine to a whole different level!

love these!

Hell yes. I need one of these for my studio at school.

…Brings back memories of interning for a certain entertainment/hospitality company down in Florida… My best friend and I, scraping for anything to eat… Ramen… ramen… and ramen.
Then there were the desperate nights when we’d try to mix things up and throw whatever we could find in the cupboards into the ramen… We called it Glop… or “…why did we eat that???”
…
I totally need a ceramic Glop Cup.

ingeniously silly! this are awesome!

This is not a comment and not wanting to win a paper cup (But really wanting to win that cool ceramic cup!)

Both of those will definitely prepare me for college next fall!

peas?

dig!!!!!

This mug / cup a mugup seems to be perfect except for one problem. If you dropped it not only would you get the plume of steaming hot coffee liquid shooting at your face and eyes but you would have sharpened ceramic grape shot to contend with too.

ohh fancy. i would love that cup. i would drink chocolate milk from it.

Ceramics, Ceramics, Ceramics… Oh, how I do adore thee so.

shotgun on the cuP!

I spent all the ”fun” I have on your giveaway#4.
NOT.COT drained me.
I want to spend a lot of time trying to come up with something amusing but I’m soooooooo out of inspiration I might as well tickle you instead.

Coffee, the finest organic suspension ever devised. ;)

That’s gotta taste better than those crappy styrofoam noodle cups. Blech.

mmm noodles…

Yeahii I would LOVE to go to work with one of those…

please:)

Amazing! To show you how much I like these I will list some anagrams of “Perpetual Kid”:
A Perked Tulip
Reaped Kilt Up
Aid Perk Letup

As a poor University student I live on Ramen noodles. This ceramic cup will make the experience slightly more enjoyable :)

I’ve had this wisted for ages! I carry a cup with me everywhere. I’d be so excited I’d tell the world where I got it. You can’t buy that kind of publicity!

give me…yo quiero…please…thank you

Though I would be honored to accept your Styrofoam noodle waste material, I would worship this ceramic one as I would a deity. Indeed I would put it in the space reserved for worshiping the spirit in my home.

Cute! (but you knew that)

I am what I eat, therefore, I am not a cup o’ noodles.

Coffee and noodles. The breakfast of champions.

double walled porcelain, nuff said

I’ve wanted to get one of these!

I’ve often wanted to buy one of these ceramics just so that I can leave them on my desk and get the neat freak in my office upset about having trash around. Oh what sweet revenge for having them throw away my leftover Chinese food because it was 1 pm on a Friday and said neat freak had decided anything in the kitchen (especially my kung pao chicken) was spoiled. Oh and both the cups look kick ass.

I have to admit, these are pretty rad.

I’m broke and in school- I’ll drink more coffee if it gets me that cup- and give the noodle bowl to my friend who lives off ramen…

I can´t believe it´s not a paper cup!!!

Excuse me, there´s a noodle in my soup!!!

Cool…..

Hum… Noodles & Coffee… Sounds good!

Very nice. Very funny.

does the cup come with chopsticks? LOL

i want them!!!

I’ve been in love with the “I am not a paper cup…” cup, since it has made its rounds on the blogosphere! I bet tea just tastes better out of that thing!!! As far as the noodle cup, if I were to win it, I’d be using it my blue box mac-n-cheese… nothin’ but class over here!

pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

adorable!

These are so cool! I love recycling, I hope I win~

The ceramic coffee cup would go lovely with that Sorapot *hint hint* and that ramen cup would be more than fitting for me, a college student *hint hint hint*

Are those “I am not covered in dangerous splinters”-brand chopsticks included?

Sweet!

uhm … screw them I’m ASIAN I NEED THIS! haha thanks!

ramen

Me Me Me!!!

Alright. Here goes attempt two at becoming a beverage queen. As you may now know, I work in a coffee shop. Ever since the debut of the “not a paper cup” on notcot.org I have directed countless customers to the internet to view this marvel. I challenged customers with free coffee if they could procure one of these beauties for me! No one has done it yet, and this saddens me greatly.

Help me realize my goal.
When I serve coffee, instead of for here/to go… I could say:
For here in a ceramic cup that looks like a to go cup?

perpetual gratitude from a perpetual child!

I saw the coffee cup at the MOMA design store in NY last week!

I wonder if you could do coffee in the noodle cup and vice versa…

Ohhh my goodness I have both of these items on my christmas gift list!! What a money saver it would be to win them!!

I’m English, thus i drink a lot of tea and I’m also a poor student whose solid diet consists almost entirely of noodles.
So basically i’m a pretty good representation of the target market :-)

OM NOM NOM… Ramen for the Soul.

Starbucks and Ramen - The Attic Greek/Sculpture Double Major Diet. ^_^.

*I’m so serious with this one…

yo yo yo I rap when I’m thirsty
so don’t lt ma coffee hurt me
I like it when its hot
unless its not in a cup given away by notcot… haha

May the not-a-paper-cup set an example for his less eco-friendly cousins.

another step towards being green! I love it!

I need these, I really do. (Then maybe I can finally eat my cup o’ noodles with some class and dignity)

I love ramen…

But I’m also no fun. Damn!

But does the noodle cup have a lid for convenient storage of leftovers!? I may never find out unless I win it!

I love both of these. I drink a lot of tea and I’m sick of buying terrible mugs that fall apart in the dishwasher.

Mine?
I love the ramen…

love it

daddy needs a new pair of ceramics!

I believe I am the most qualified contestant, because I also am not a paper cup.

Reminds me of the We Are Happy To Serve You Ceramic Cup, love it!

I really like these!!

very nice.

been eyeing these for a while now.
