BRUGO Travel Mug at the Oscars

Chicago Entrepreneur's Product Chosen for 78th Annual Academy Award(R) Show Gift Bags

CHICAGO, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- On Oscar night (March 5, 2006), Spero Pavlopoulos will be among the happiest in the crowd -- no Best Actor nomination required -- because he'll be watching some of Hollywood's finest go home with a sleek, cutting-edge 'trophy' of another kind as part of this year's Academy Award(R) gift bag: a BRUGO(TM).

Since introducing the world to the BRUGO(TM) Travel Mug in July of 2005, its inventor, Pavlopoulos, has seen this exceptional mug attract a whirlwind of positive attention. Coffee and tea enthusiasts have gone crazy for the mug's revolutionary, patented cooling chamber which cools hot beverages one sip-sized portion at a time. Even the toughest coffee critics have been raving about this unique product's design, including its distinctive, easily- adjustable lid settings (lock, tip & cool, and sip) that help to eliminate accidental spills and spatters as well as scalding burns. Many are also drawn to the mugs' sleek styling and 12 bold and distinguishing colors that transform these exclusive mugs into must-have accessories for the fashionable and sporty alike.

Already, the BRUGO(TM) has garnered major kudos and exposure from features in Men's Health magazine and on Good Morning America, and now Pavlopoulos is looking forward to seeing what the stars think of his special mug when it is given away at the Kodak Theatre as part of this year's Academy Award(R) gift bag.

"We are honored and delighted to have been chosen for inclusion," Pavlopoulos said. "We consider ourselves very lucky to have such a great opportunity. We know that Hollywood's royalty will enjoy them while showing the world how easy it is to fall in love with a BRUGO(TM)."

Pavlopoulos' Chicago-based company, Jolex, Inc., is dedicated to developing new and innovative products. According to Pavlopoulos, "BRUGO(TM) embodies everything we represent: powerful design and manufacturing, functionality and practicality. People today have high expectations, and we are delivering."
