I’m surprised they spelled Albuquerque correctly

    explanation: the elements in the “Breaking Bad” logo are not the ones in the mug:

    Also, A and M are not elements in the periodic table. It seems “M” has the mass of Mg, and even the space for the g, but it was lazily erased. And it’s a bit blurry, but I think “A” was supposed to be Al, with mass of 26.98. The worse part is that Albuquerque would be perfectly valid, but they had to fumble this completely.

        I thought at first, but that Mg turned into M and the numbers making some sense tell me this is lazy human work

          Yeah, I’d guess this is non-conputer-assisted failure, too. Here’s the font file, you can see that there are alternative glyphs that could have worked but they just kinda farded and shidded their way through it.

        I think they prefer to use the first letter of a different syllable. Mendelevium was once Mv, but never Me, it seems.
