It's a little known fact that in college, I had a collection of vintage plaid thermoses. I brought them all to the Salvation Army when I left my apartment and moved on, but it was fun to have a collection. I've never had another collection since then. In general, I am kind of anti-collecting, as I once read that it's a sign of being controlling (not sure if that is true, but somehow, it stuck with me.)
Anyway, I still love the idea of bringing a drink along, there was something so great about getting in the car with a thermos of coffee... I liked the idea of thinking ahead, but not knowing what the journey would hold.
Today, I really like the compact, graphic utility of these trusty characters.
