Beware of the 2012 mugs.

Joy · April 25, 2012, 08:40:39 PM

As a side note, besides my initial purchase of a mug at the beginning of the year during which I purchase a soda, I usually just use my mug for water. Soda dehydrates, so I try my best to only drink water--and a lot of it--when I take my trips to SDC. Just take the mug to the nearest concession place and ask for water; they'll fill it for free, and often they'll include ice (which I sadly have to tell them to leave out ever since I developed Cold Urticaria early last year).

I usually only put water in mine too, except when I'm at the saloon

Hopefully the old mugs will be "grandfathered" in, just like my dad's kettle corn bucket he brings in for refills.

If they had Sioux City on tap...I'd fill up several times a trip-even though it would take away from the nostalgia of the bottle itself.

I have older mugs also, from around 2006, and several places last year charged us the current year price. I explained that they should honor the refill price marked on my mug, but it didn't work. I tried arguing, but didn't get anywhere.

I need to start going to garage sales to look for old mugs. $:-\$

Ha! Convinced my mom to look out for mugs for me.

We both live in the Ozarks, so mugs shouldn't be hard to find. I'll take plastic mugs (not that I really need them), but I really want some of the glass mugs for personal use.

What the 3 headed toad stool are they thinking!? Really. This saddens me. My family and I drink water most of the time. But the refill mugs are great when we want a soda. I dont have recent mugs cuz I wont pay the price for them, but not to honor them next year. Sigh. Man. I am rather speechless. $:-\$

So I emailed SDC and this is the response I got

Thank you for your interest in Silver Dollar City. This is somewhat correct. We do have specific mugs that are not refillable and states this on the mug. However, we do still offer the refillable ones as well.

Sincerely,

SDC Properties Customer Service

So it sounds almost like they will have two diffrent mugs or something of that nature.

sorry should have posted my question so you know what I actually asked

Question Topic: Other
Question or Comment: hi I had just heard something new for this year and wanted to see if its true. That if you buy a 2012 soda mug this year that it is only good for this year and not for 2013. If this is true what is the rules for older refillable mugs?

NOW!! thats a deal!! 1.00 higher, AND only good this year!!! what a bargain

Joy · April 27, 2012, 07:53:14 AM

Yeah, all the stands had either last year's mugs or last year's and this year's. I already had last year's, so I got this year's 'cause of the new design on it.

If they did that I'd go broke!
