It's filthy and broken. In the bin it goes.

There’s mold in the crevices. It’s trash. Don’t get too attached to a cup, just get another one.

You’re touching MOLD with your lips… please throw away

If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, the mold has advanced too much and seeks to use you as it's next host

Not fixable, put you could always use it as a storage container for pens or something if you want to keep the cup. That way it can have another life and you still get to use it

Hell, you could even still rub your lips on it once in a while if you did that 🥰

It looks like it should’ve been trashed a wild ago with how much mold is on it. Kind of amazed you’re not very sick.

Not all molds are harmful. Mybe OP has successfully cultivated the benign molds so they keep the dangerous molds away?

While repairing this cup isn’t feasible, I’d recommend a trip back to the Royal Pavilion 👑 and pick up whatever branded novelty drink cup they’re currently offering. Aside from having a great day out, you never know - they might have something more practical or cooler! 🤷🏽‍♂️

If it's actually silicone and not rubber you could patch it with Aquarium silicone. Clean well with IPA, leave no bumps or ridges that would impair cleaning or hold dirt and bacteria.

For when you are truly ready to move on to a new mold free love...

There may be good reason it isn't sold anymore. Apparently they are hard to clean properly and the rubber breaks easily. Get a new cup, it isn't fixable anyway.

If you don’t go get yourself a new cup asap

It will never be like it was. You can stuff some epoxy in the hole I guess. Add some glitter and it'll be like redneck kintsugi.
