Hot beverage fakery.

Next time you see someone on TV holding one of those Starbucks-esque coffee cups watch how they treat it. Very often they'll be holding it an unwise angle and/or be generally twirling it around with a complete disregard for the fact that it's supposedly full of hot liquid. Perhaps there are health and safety rules against giving actors cups which actually contain hot liquid. Or the producers just don't think that anyone will notice that a cup supposedly full of freshly purchased coffee slammed down on a table makes a this-cup-is-clearly-empty sound.

Or maybe it's all in my mind.
