This is pretty random: think mugs hold different amounts of liquid? Actually they hold the same. Test it at home if you don't believe me  _________________Still the official cheeky one

Given that my largest mug holds a total of nearly 2 pints of liquid, I'm pretty sure that's not the same as average mugs.

I know for a fact that the Ikea white mugs (such as you'd find in their cafe) don't hold near as much as a 'regular' mug.

My "Mr Messy" holds as much as my Mediaroom mug, which is less than my camera lens mug, but more than the others. The Sports Direct ones are huge though! _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Are you guys seriously telling me you compare the size of an average mug with a 2 pinter?  As with everything else Ikea have their own measurements _________________Still the official cheeky one

I tend to define a cup as having a saucer, and smaller handle.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

At a place where I used to work we had tiny mugs. And they were definitely mugs, just mini. Nice and thin, mind. I normally drink out of a bucket, though.

There is probably a "standard" size mug but as with anything, there is always variation.

Should we start a 'mug chat' thread?
