  • A mug purportedly offered for sale by the University of North Texas will live forever in internet infamy due to the unfortunate combination formed by the shape of the mug's handle (C) and the acronymic version of the school's name (UNT): https://imgur.com/gallery/LCXpK This mug was indeed offered for sale on a University of Texas online store site hosted by Barnes & Noble, but it was removed in mid-2016 after the above-displayed viral picture focused attention on it. According to a contemporaneous News & Observer article on the subject, a UNT spokesperson denied that the vulgarity spelled out by the mug was intentional, although some commenters didn't buy that explanation: Although UNT itself no longer sells this particular item, similar versions are available through various commercial websites: https://www.amazon.com/Fudap-11-ounce-UNT-with-black-handle-Coffee-Mug-Custom-Coffee-Tea-Cups-Dishwasher-and-Microwave-Safe/dp/B088NXJFXX/ (en)
