@MrNuclearMonster maybe your test is bad? How would a glazed mug turn up anything for lead? doesn't make sense.

@colinstu @MrNuclearMonster unfortunately, lead is a known hazard with glazed ceramic https://foodsafetyandrisk.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40550-017-0049-7

@MrNuclearMonster That feels very on brand for Black Mesa.

@MrNuclearMonster Huh. I would have thought that was more of an Aperture Science thing.

@jonathankoren @MrNuclearMonster Aperture Science would put lead in the coffee mugs intentionally, to protect it from any radioactive materials it might accidentally be set next to. Black Mesa would put lead in the coffee mugs because they contracted out to the cheapest-bid contractor they could find. This mug is the latter scenario.
