I love when Sam took a drink, the picture on the bottom just gave us a glimpse of what was going to be on the shirt.

[@stealthlock6634]

There was a moment later in that episode where Matt finally caught him drinking it and saw the bottom at the same time as the shirt and said, “I hate you Sam.” And Sam was confused, and everyone clarified to him that Matt only just now saw the bottom of the mug. At which point Sam showed him a full paper print out of the image, meaning there were THREE of that image in the room at once.
