A picture of an Gromit mug
The Gromit mug is part of Wallace & Gromit merchandise. It is a ceramic mug that looks like Gromit's head in a mug shape. It was initially included in a packet of PG Tips tea in 2005 where his nose was turning from black to red due to the temperature of the drink in the mug, as advertised in the "H-H-Hot" commercial. Other variants of the mug also exist, like a golden version and a non-colour changing version.[1]
Variants[]
- The Gromit mug was first released in 2005 by PG Tips in collaboration with Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. This mug had the gimmick of turning its nose red when hot liquid (preferably tea) was poured in.
- A left-handed variant with a flipped expression exists from the same year that was available by contacting PG via the phone or their website. The thermo nose gimmick remains.
- In 2020, the Gromit mug was resurrected, this time being manufactured by Half Moon Bay and removing the thermo nose gimmick.
- In 2021, the Wallace mug and mini mugs were released.
- In 2022, a cookie jar and golden Gromit mug were released to mark the anniversary of the whole franchise.
- In 2023, the thermo nose mug was rereleased for the first time since the PG Tips mug’s release, as well as salt and pepper shakers.
- In 2024, a regular red-nosed Gromit mug was released in celebration of Red Nose Day.
