‘Left side, second shelf the blue travel mug with pink grip,’ one person wrote.
‘I reckon the pink patterned one on the second shelf slightly off the edge at the front of the shelf,’ another said.
‘I’ve watched it sooo many times and can’t pick it, can’t wait to see!’ a third said.
After picking the cup back off the shelf, Tegan pranked a Kmart check-out worker by eating it in front of them – leaving the employee baffled.

The cake looked identical to the real $1.75 reusable Kmart travel mug and was made using chocolate sponge cake and fondant.
‘I used cookie cutters to cut my cake out, stacked it with chocolate ganache and then just carved it to shape,’ Tegan said in another video.
Next, she covered it in ganache and fondant, ensuring she matched the fondant to the exact colours of the travel mug.
‘I was really proud of my colour matching – you can see I’ve added the ivory lid as well as the little pink bit that you push up to drink from the cup,’ she said.
‘And the final thing to go on was the little grippy piece that goes around the middle.’
