A fellow collector noted that the Asia versions of the You Are Here (YAH) are not the same size as their USA and Europe counterparts. That set me off on a bit of scientific observation and I am sharing the results. They in fact are not the same size.
Here are the measurements
USA-Europe / Asia
- 4mm / 3mm at mouth edge
- 6mm / 6mm at thickest
- 60mm / 58mm diameter
- 50mm / 48mm tall
- 46mm / 45mm full side
- 4mm / 3mm stand
- 6mm / 5mm handle thickness
- 36.5mm / 36.5 handle height
- 24mm / 23mm handle protrusion
- 116g / 124g weight
- 3oz / 2.5oz volume
Clearly the Asia version is indeed smaller. The one exception to being smaller was in terms of the weight. Oddly the Asia version weighs 8g more.
Here is where the science falls a part. I only tested one USA and one Asia, the California and the Hong Kong. I am sure there are variations in all to some degree. But for purposes of the collector community, this is enough to state one version is smaller than the other.

I am a bit frustrated with the YAH mug ornaments…
Specifically, with the copyright dates.
Is an “Arizona” mug with a 2016 date the same as one with a 2017 date?
Should an overly OCD person like myself consider them two different ornaments since they have a clear difference printed on them?
If so, I have a bad feeling there are another ~80 ornaments I need to find.
Your expert advice is greatly appreciated.
