From the sun or washed off by a dishwasher do you think?
It’s actually quite interesting why this happens. Red absorbs blue light and others which are shorter in wavelength, the more energy it absorbs compared to other colours means the red pigment in the paint is eroded faster.
That’s why red cars always faded faster than other ones back before paint tech became a lot better.
So iconic ! Love it !
Woah this cup is gigantic!

I remember the 1st class being 9p and second class being 7p. Soo long ago.

That’s an incredible mug to be fair

It’s a Star Trek crossover mug
A 20 stamp seems like an impossible dream.
Probably, the red one hasn’t been there.

On a random sidenote, I found this the other day
How can you have a mug for 20 years and not break it?
Ahhh, back when postage was cheap! I nearly cried at the price of stamps the other week 😭
Tbf, I actually really like this mug, and I love the fact that you’ve been using it for so long – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Same thing’s happened to the red toadstools on my mug.

When I used to dye my hair all sorts of unnatural colours, red always faded the fastest.
Like all red Vauxhalls ever made.
