Bummed Out [MLP Travel Cup Issues]

[fluffpudge 148]

To make a long story short(er), my uncle and aunt bought me a cute MLP travel cup as a birthday gift, roughly four weeks ago. Looks like the below:

 

 

It really is (was) a good cup- I was excited to use it. Washed it, let it dry out, and first time using it- the two walls snapped apart. Was just a super quick fix that would have only required super glue to solve. Never doing that in the future- made the problem worse. The glue dried on the inside walls and left an icky white, foggy-looking tint to it.

 

I believe any return policies are now void because I attempted to fix the cup myself. I tried to get in contact with someone over on Amazon (where it was originally ordered) to see if it would even be worth trying to track down all this information. They said to help me further, they'd need me to.

 

Just really bummed out. It's ridiculous to be this amount of upset over a plastic $10 cup, but it does bother me nonetheless. Here's to hoping the issue is resolved.

 

Adorable cup, just having so many issues with it.

As wonderful as the cup may be, it's still a cheap, mass-produced plastic product likely made in south-east Asia.  Unfortunately, there isn't (yet?) much of a market for very high quality children's TV show paraphernalia.

 

Bronies, we must change this!

Haha, yes, yes- as most products are! I was just hoping it were a little bit higher-quality for it being $10 (most licensed ones are larger than this cup was and only run a couple dollars more expensive). It really was a beautiful cup- just a shame that it had to break and lead to this mess..

 

Hopefully a better alternative shows up. I'd be more than willing to pay more for something more durable!
