I don't understand how this slid so far down the challenge. I guess not all the tools got sharpened before they got put away. The image doesn't have a ton of pop, but the phrase is snarky as hell, a perfect de-motivator.

I finally got it when I was able to read the other comments. A real glass being a potentially sharp object didn't even occur to me. My own slogan didn't make sense to a lot of people either.

It's not sharp if it's plactic, is it?

Plastic cup that's 1/3 full is indeed quite pessimistic. Would have liked to see it 1/2 full and maybe in a regular glass.

This concept didn't even rustle my hair on the way over. What is potentially sharp? I guess that means mine is half empty...

Pessimism is keeping the glass half-empty because one of the ice cubes looks like a dead fish! :}
