Abstract
A coaster and mug assembly comprises a coaster and a mug. The coaster comprises a flat bottom and a resilient and flexible annular side wall formed integrally with the flat bottom and extending radially outwardly at an angle from the flat bottom and terminating at a resilient annular lip, the annular lip extending radially inwardly from the side wall. The mug comprises a bottom and a lower annular side wall extending radially outwardly at an angle from the bottom of the mug and terminating at a bend where it is integrally connected with an annular upper side wall, the annular upper side wall extending radially inwardly at an angle from the bend. The mug is snugly fitted inside the coaster with the annular lip of the coaster resiliently gripping the bend of the mug to hold the coaster securely to the mug. The coaster may be removed from the mug by lifting the resilient annular lip of the coaster and peeling it from the mug.
