Once upon a time, back in the spring of 1993, a yound lad named Jeff (below) was living on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. A seasoned “dipper”, he stopped by a small convenience store to buy a fresh can. Behind the cash register, buried behind various novelty items, he saw an old dusty object that looked like a small spittoon. After asking to take a closer look, he was captivated by the unique concept….a portable, plastic spittoon. Eagerly, he seized the opportunity and purchased it.
Jeff needed to find out where this extraordinary item came from. After extensive research, he found out that this unique spittoon was discovered in the summer of 1953 in a remote desert crevasse. As legend would have it, a spaceship of advanced Redneck Aliens from another planet had left it behind. Many people that witnessed this amazing event told Jeff that the apparent cover up by the government had nothing to do with the aliens, but rather a conspiracy to take down the tobacco industry.
Throughout the 90’s, everywhere Jeff went with his alien spittoon, other “dippers” would ask where he got it and how they could get one. Everyone wanted one, but no one could find it. After a couple years of every-day use, he noticed that the spittoon was beginning to fall apart due to the alien's use of primitive materials. Although advanced in their space travels and excellent in their abilities to drive performance stock cars, this band of Redneck Aliens were naive to the harsh nature of the earth’s atmosphere. Their use of archaic materials could not withstand the horific conditions. One rainy evening in late 2002, during an episode of heavy binge drinking, Jeff thought to himself, “I can either kill myself or build a better spittoon.” Thank God to all of us dippers out there that Jeff made the right decision!
In early 2003, Jeff began working on the Mud Jug™. Although the general design of the alien spittoon worked well, the materials were obviously lack-luster. In addition, Jeff knew the overall look, feel and usability could be drastically improved with a few minor modifications to the shape of the body and weight distribution. In May 2004, produced from a brand new, steel injection mold and using only the finest proprietary materials, the Mud Jug™ spittoon was born. Throw in a trademark and a solid patent and you have a product that is out of this world. I guess you could say that Jeff's Mud Jug™ was a concept written in the stars. At least now it all makes sense why they called them the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. Its obvious we are not alone.
