Ever wondered how cool it would be to be able to drink from a lens?

How about the Canon EF 24-105mm one?
In case you are somewhat baffled by all this, you will notice that the above mentioned are two very popular lenses by Canon. Early this year, the first edition of these mugs in the shape and actual size of the lenses were made available on the internet. They are part of what Canon call BDS (Beverage Delivery System).
You can see from the images that with minimal concentration, you can easily grab the wrong lens.
For instance, you wouldn't want to be at your early morning shoot to catch the swans at sunrise by the lake with both your 70-200mms and as you reach for the lens, take off the cap and lift - you burn your laps and kit in tremendous fashion. Just as you would hate to pour hot coffee on your bran new £2000 Canon Lens.
In a less hazardous and more controlled environment these are of course a nice little accessory for the Canon enthusiast. Will Nikon try and match this? We should not be surprised if they do as these travel mugs have been quite the success. The true question anyone should ask should be - How cool would it be if the mugs actually zoomed in and out!??
Here's the 24-105mm version of the travel mugs. Again, it's very close to the real thing and once you purchase them, you MAY want to avoid taking your actual camera gear into the kitchen area.
