This is no “Tippy Cup”
When I was a little fellow, I had several new-age solutions for my spilling tendencies. One was, as the title suggests, a “tippy cup.” The tippy cup was a regular cup with a screw-on lid that had a little sippy tip on the top and a weighted half-sphere on the bottom. It worked wonders until I learned how to get the top off! What designer Kenyon Yeh’s got for us here is a simpler solution for a slightly less destructive child.
Yes, this cup will not work if your little monkeys kick it across the room, BUT if they’re just a little bit clumsy sometimes, it’s a nice idea! Quite simply its a cup with a wider bottom and little gap to avoid burnt hands on hot liquids. Though why a kid is drinking much less handling liquid so hot it’ll burn their hand is beyond me.
Also I LOVE THE KID IN THE FIRST PICTURE.

How do you clean out the gap portion on bottom?
p says
cool concept, but I’m seeing some some draft issues around the base. (it might just be the focal length) Is it two parts?

They look like they’re made of silicon, which will pop out of this negative draft. If not, spells trouble…easily overcome with a slight redesign.
