Get the Ushana mug.This is a Russian style cap with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap, which is often made of fur, or tied at the chin to protect the ears from the cold.
Though ushankas are a distinctly Russian hat, indeed, the stereotypical Russian is seen to wear one, the wearing of fur caps of similar design is common throughout China, North Korea, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is also worn widely in North America and Canada.
It is not considered masculine among Russian men to wear the ear flaps down, though a stereotypical dustman is usually portrayed wearing his ushanka with flaps untied, one pointing down and one up.
In the English-speaking world, it is sometimes refered to as a shapka. However, this usage is not specific to the Ushanka, but is rather a Russian language word meaning simply "hat". Ushanka literally translates as "ear-flaps hat".

An ushanka is a russian/soviet/slavic hat that is beautiful and fluffy. The hat can unfold to make your ears warm. Only gods like boris, antoni, and other slavs can wear it correctly.
Random person: did you see that ushanka boris was wearing? It looks beautiful!
Random slav: its beautiful because boris is the king of slavs

Get the USHAAAA mug.Supplements and health foods sold through independent distributors at prices that are generally higher than comparable items at local health food stores. Top down style marketing is used to promote this brand. Some people who opt in as a seller do not want to pressure friends or family or devote enough time to recruit other resellers.
I spent $33 on 9 servings of whey and fiber from Usana when I could've gone to my local store and bought 32 servings of whey/fiber with comparable nutrition for $25 from vitamin shoppe.
