Ok, not really, but we couldn’t resist. The original McDonald’s cup looks like [this](http://www.popsugar.com/food/McDonald-Peppermint-Mocha-Review-42652030?ref=hyperallergic.com). :)

And the artwork on the right is Anthea Hamilton’s “[Project for Door (After Gaetano Pesce)](https://hyperallergic.com/years-turner-prize-exhibition-makes-good-potential-shock/)” (2016). The artist was in the running for this year’s Turner Prize in the UK, and her artwork was a favorite among [belfie](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=belfie&ref=hyperallergic.com) aficionados.
