This ‘Friends’-Inspired Turkey Mug Is Here Just in Time to Celebrate Thanksgiving

In the world of gift-giving, there truly is something for everyone. If the show Friends was your thing when it aired for ten seasons, then you are going to be sooo excited about this news.

Out of all the episodes you’ve watched, which ones would you rank in your top five? Would it be the “Unagi” episode? The prom night one? Or how about Ross’s wedding? No matter how your list looks, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Thanksgiving flashback ep made the cut, and that’s a good thing for you.

Why? Because now, for $22, you can become the proud owner of a Friends turkey mug! Modeled after the hilarious – but weird – turkey head dressing/mask that Monica donned in “The One With all the Thanksgivings”, it is real.

If your memory is fuzzy on the episode or you’re simply not clued in, let us give you a quick synopsis. After the gang starts swapping horror stories (through flashbacks) about Thanksgivings past, the history of Monica and Chandler’s relationship causes some friction between the two, resulting in Chandler being upset with Monica.

In an effort to make up with him and cheer him up, she slips the raw turkey onto her head. Through its orifice where most people put the stuffing. And then she danced with an accessorized turkey on her head. With all the craziness, it became one of the show’s top ranked episodes, and no one can forget the image of that turkey.

Created by Firebox, a UK-based retailer that sells quirky and cool gifts, the mug is an ode to the show and its legion of fans. Just look at it. It’s got the fez, – which is removable by the way – the sunglasses, and it’s sitting down on its bum.

The cheeky product description on the company’s website includes these lines:

“Finally, a mug to make a man say ‘You’re so great, I love you!’ and then rapidly backtrack. Based on the iconic episode ‘The One With All The Thanksgivings’, this lovely mug is an ideal gift for Friends fans.

Just please don’t try to stick your head in it. It’s a standard mug size, it’s not gonna work.”

Right now, the mugs are on pre-order and won’t be available until November 30, but that will give you enough time to figure who you want to gift with one. If you occasionally collect TV show or movie memorabilia that is also functional, then this mug should be right up your alley.

Although these mugs won’t be out in time for this year’s Friendsgiving event that some of you may be attending, there’s no reason why you all can’t get together for tea, hot chocolate, or spirits with one in tow for Christmas.

Just like the show’s annual Thanksgiving tradition, your own friends’ circle can get weird with the fezzed up turkey. No need to sit it on your head!
