It may not look like much, it's just a mug with the YouTube logo on, but it has a little story attached.
Back in 2010, YouTube began trialling a significant change to how the website looked and worked. Unlike what you'd expect of the site these days, it wasn't rolled out to some random group of people for A/B testing—it was a thing that you had to apply to become a tester for: the Cosmic Panda update.
I was one of the people who opted into it, and much to surprise, some time later, I received this mug all the way from the US.
I've been using that mug for 15 years now. I guess not many people have a YouTube-branded mug in their cupboards!
