Ryan Gosling has always been a human cup of hot cocoa, so it only follows that his beautiful Baby Goose face would be the perfect adornment to a cocoa mug (much the same way Matthew McConaughey should be on tubes of KY). Unfortunately, this special edition Tim Horton’s mug is the only one made. The lucky guy or gal who gets to take a steaming sip of Gosling? Baby Goose himself, as it turns out.
It all started with an interview with Tribute.ca in which Baby Goose said he hoped Gangster Squad would finally be the movie that got his face on a commemorative fast-food cup (stupid Blue Valentine and their lazy tie-in department really whiffed on that one).
“I thought I might get a cup out of this deal,” said Gosling. The interviewer suggested the coffee-and-doughnuts chain would be a good fit. [Grubstreet]
It makes sense that that’s what attracted him to the project, it certainly wasn’t the script. From there, a Buffalo.com writer suggested a mug (a “Gosling Goblet”) to Tim Horton’s, and, being Canadian, Tim Horton’s came through with the above mug, gifted to Gosling. “Sure we’ll do it, eh,” Tim Horton III probably said. “But not for money, though, yeah? There’s nothing worth owning in life that you can’t suck from trees or shoot in the forest, I always say.”
The best part of drinking coffee out of a Baby Goose mug? It’s self-sweetening. The worst part is that it turns water into hummingbird feed. He’s that sweet. If more people drank out of Baby Goose coffee mugs, there’d be no war.

C-Tates Pimp Cup or GTFO.
Buffalo represent! Sorta.
Getting recognition related to a Canadian thing is so Buffalo. I’m ok with it.
It is a Buffalo thing in this instance. Read the story.
Tim Horton’s is basically the only thing Buffalo and the rest of Western NY has left. Let us have this one.
You’re welcome SJ.
UPDATE : UPS broke Baby Goose. .@UPS destroyed a rare mug and my dreams. I hope @RyanGosling’s delivery makes it in one piece. [twitter.com]
UPS will compensate for their mistakes, it takes a phone call.
It’s a one-of-a kind item. So, no.
But it’s not one of a kind. Because she says she hoped Ryan’s gets there okay. That implies there are at least two in existence. From her Twitter: @buffalucci All parties have been notified. UPS is trying to help me out, too. I hope Ryan’s arrives in one piece!
Um, hi, a picture of Matty Mac is a *substitute* for lube.
Sploosh.
Man I could go for some Tim-Bits right now…
I’m practically in Canada right now, and we don’t have a Timmy’s. That is all.
Just imagine the diabetes epidemic that would ensue if these things leaked out to the general population.
Tim Horton’s is the greatest fast food franchise in the world. I will hear no more insinuations against Tim Horton’s!
*throws down hockey gloves*
Seriously, breakfast sandwich with a large double-double. $3 for a little bit of heaven.

Whatever you do don’t drink out of the Zac Effron mug.
Hey girl, spill me on your crotch.
Give me a cup of hot gos.
“The best part of drinking coffee out of a Baby Goose mug? It’s self-sweetening.”
A close second is that the ladies provide their own non-dairy creamer.
I will buy one and I will give one to Anna Kendrick. We will make love afterwards.

Thank God the company is still run by Tim Horton III. Tim Horton Jr. almost bequeathed it to Todd Horton, and he would have run it into the ground.
