If you're looking to add a bit of flair and pizzazz to your [morning cup of coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-hold), then these medicated coffee cup designs are sure to add some humorous qualities to your morning routine.

While average [coffee mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-mug) are often outfitted with cute and quirky images or pop culture references, this wacky creation is rather modeled after a well-recognized prescription bottle. Not only does this mug feature the iconic orange exterior with white labeling, but the prescription actually displays the words "coffee" on the label, and mentioning that you should consume this product one sip at a time.

This prescription bottle-shaped cup lets individuals have some fun with their morning coffee, by letting others know that consuming their [caffeinated beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incredibrew) is just as important as taking their prescriptions.
