Primark customers have expressed mixed opinions about a new item in the homeware department that is described as “adorable” but potentially “awkward” to use. Priced at £3.50, the novelty cake slice mug has garnered attention online, with some enthusiasts loving the concept while others raising concerns.
Available for purchase on the Primark Home website, the individual cake slice mug has captured the interest of shoppers who are intrigued by the idea of collecting a set of six. When arranged together, the mugs form a circular cake shape, making a striking display for any kitchen.
The mug features a charming baby pink color adorned with colorful ‘sprinkles’ and faux ‘whipped cream’ details around the rim.
On a popular Facebook group called Snack Reviews, members shared their excitement over the new cake slice mugs, with one person insisting that buying the entire set of six is the way to go.
Despite the novelty and appeal of the mugs, some individuals have pointed out that they may not be the most practical choice for drinking beverages. Concerns were raised about the potential discomfort of using the mugs, with comments like “trying to drink from them without making a mess” and “uncomfortable to drink out of” being shared.
In response to these concerns, some users suggested alternative uses for the mugs, such as serving desserts in them or using them as decorative flower pots. One individual even mentioned using the mug as a unique custard boat for a delightful presentation.
Primark offers a variety of mugs in its home section, catering to different tastes with options ranging from character-themed to animal and object designs, all starting from as low as £3.
In related news, Primark is reportedly expanding its click-and-collect service to streamline the shopping experience for customers. While currently available in select stores, the service is expected to be rolled out nationwide by the end of 2025.
