7-Eleven is teaming up for the first time ever with the popular Hong Kong illustrator Plastic Thing to exclusively launch a series of four limited-edition ‘FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Sets’

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 20 July 2022 - 7-Eleven has always supported homegrown creative talent! This summer, 7-Eleven is collaborating for the first time with popular Hong Kong illustrator and creator of Plastic Thing Ip Yan, to exclusively launch a series of four 'FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Sets'.

Plastic Thing's main character goes by the name of Fatty (為食妹) and she's always trying to lose weight but also loves to eat. Also included in the relatable line-up are Luison, a famous Hong Kong beauty influencer, geeky Baldboy, and Puffy, Fatty's pet dog. And they're here to have a FAT-TASTIC summer with you all! From 20 July (7am), customers can collect stamps at 7-Eleven or use yuu Points to randomly redeem a 'FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Set'. Quantities are limited and while stocks last so don't miss out!


Introducing the droolworthy 'FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Set'!

Fatty was created by Hong Kong illustrator Ip Yan and has become a social media sensation amassing over 400,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram in just a few years. Ip Yan has now personally designed a summery series of 'FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Sets' exclusively for 7-Eleven. Fatty features on each of the four mugs in a variety of poses and super sweet, dessert-inspired settings – including a sea of pineapples, a pancake factory, a Mount Fuji cake dreamland and a peach juice stall ­– to get you in the mood for summer!

The mug itself has an approximate capacity of 450ml and is made of translucent borosilicate glass which is both heat and cold resistant. It also has a handle which makes reheating easier without burning your fingers! Each set includes a lid and spoon. Both the cup and lid are microwave-safe so you can reheat food or drinks quickly and conveniently. The 'FAT-TASTIC Glass Mug Set' is ideal for serving up a whole host of tasty summer treats such as ice cream, smoothies, oatmeal with yoghurt, homemade jelly, serradura pudding, tiramisu, mousses and more! Cute and colourful, these Instaworthy mug sets will add a pop of fun to any meal occasion. So, enjoy a FAT-TASTIC summer with Plastic Thing and 7-Eleven!

Illustrator Ip Yan has also specially created a set of 10 FAT-TASTIC Summer themed WhatsApp or Signal '7-Eleven x Plastic Thing' stickers. Feel free to download here: https://bit.ly/3aoPAbH
