I've never been held hostage, but I have been in a group text. The experience is comparable in several meaningful ways: the exit is unclear, the demands escalate, and nobody is in charge.

This group text mug files the hostage negotiation parallel with the evidence to support it. The comparison holds legally and emotionally.

Who this is for:

• The woman currently in at least three group texts she cannot escape
• The gag gift for the friend who has tried to leave the group and knows the consequences
• Anyone needing an I've been in a group text mug for the communication survivor
• The hostage. Group text variety. Still in it.

Made for the ones who muted the notification and then felt guilty and unmuted and immediately regretted it. The exit strategy is pending. The texts continue.

What you get:

• 15 oz white ceramic, big enough to matter
• Microwave and dishwasher safe
• Printed in the USA
• Makes a gift she will actually use

Hostage: group text. Exit: unclear. Mute button: engaged.
