This donut mug is the perfect way to enjoy a classic law enforcement combination. The coffee cup is shaped like a [chocolate dipped donut with sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voodoo-doughnut-pothole-doughnut) on top and a bite taken out of it. It also features a white handle. It's dishwasher and microwave safe as well. The broken-looking design adds additional comedic flair.

The donut mug is great for cops with a sense of humor, fans of the Simpsons, and [donut and coffee lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmys-iced-coffee-donut) alike. It's also great for people who are stressed out and might need a little extra humor with their [morning coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-n-milk-latte). The coffee mug is sure to brighten up your kitchen or the office. It will also give a laugh to anyone who might spy it during your morning commute.
