Listen, I know to a lot of you something seemingly subtle like the first two letters of a name being capitalized can be perceived as an honest mistake, but let me tell you - as someone who's been in the spam game for a hot minute, that kind of stuff is crazeballs. Not to mention:

What is ... what? This cup looks like a science experiment and/or a headless rodent, but it definitely does not look like something I want to drink out of.
J/k I would definitely drink out of this:
Waiter: Which brings us to our finest red, an '86 Tuscan merlot, which is $229 per bottle; $38 per glass. Care to try?
Me: TOTES PUT ME DOWN FOR THE WHOLE SHEBANG.
Waiter: Lovely. (pulls out glass)

Waiter: Ummm, I just-
Me: IMMA DRINK IT OUTTA THE TAIL LOL.
We do hope there is a chance for us to cooperate with each other in the near future.
If a weird cup manufacturer from China can't cooperate with a newspaper publications manager in Glendale, Arizona, then I'm sorry, but I've lost my faith in mankind.
Any questions,let me know.
I have nothing but.
