Hot or Not?: Egg Soldier Cup from Reiko Kaneko

6-20 rg egg cup.jpeg

We love kitschy decor in the kitchen. We also love a good food fight. So we're delighted to share with you the Egg Soldier Cup from Reiko Kaneko. Inspired by the "very British egg soldier breakfasts," this product is a "Battle on the Breakfast Table." Survey and more photos below the jump...

I say...

Hot. Food fight!!!

Not. Keep the kitsch away.

I don't want conflict at breakfast, if I can avoid it.

I think it's cute but I never eat eggs like that...

Stuff like this in moderation is a-okay. I especially like novelty items in some scarcity so that they're actually funny and a little surreal.

I try to keep anything army-related far from my private sphere, especially at breakfast.

Anything that can provide me with a giggle in morning is definitely "Hot".

This is not "Not Hot" because it's kitschy; it's "Not Hot" because soldiers holding what I can only determine to be machetes makes me think of horrific things that need not be part of a balanced breakfast...

My main concern about any decor lately: Cute, but how hard is it to clean?

I think it's cute. If a person doesn't really want to look at it put it away or don't buy it. I think it would bring out the kid in you.
