It is said that Max, a 9-year-old boy suffering from "dyslexia", a disease in which it is difficult to read and write letters, invented "The Mug With A Hoop", which is full of playfulness and creativity. The US media Craziest Gadgets reports .


"The Mug With A Hoop" is a mug with a basketball "goal ring" attached to a mug designed by dividing basketball into two parts. You can enjoy it by putting cocoa inside and "shooting" marshmallows, or "dunking" crackers in soup.

This mug is sold on the US mail order site uncommon goods. The price is $ 24 (shipping not included).


Max, a sports-loving boy who became an entrepreneur at the age of nine. The vision in his invention is, "If you can play with food, this world will be more fun ." The motivation is really childish and cute, but Max also said:

"I want people who can't go out and play, such as hospitalized children, to enjoy (this mug)."


Max's invention helped to better understand the illness of dyslexia and increase support for patients with symptoms. The disease has great talent and creativity , even if you can't read or write well. He proved that.

Max and his family want people with dyslexia to look at the world from a different perspective. That way, I might be able to create an invention like Max did.
