$\begingroup$ You may "get it" even as a pendant (e.g., etsy.com/market/caffeine_pendant), albeit some representations appear, chemically speaking, questionable. $\endgroup$– ButtonwoodJun 10, 2017 at 16:51

It's a coffee mug, and coffee is (in)famous for one particular substance: Caffeine.
The 2D picture on Wikipedia is the same as on the mug, except that it's rotated 180 degrees. The 'sticks' are methyl ($\ce{CH3}$) groups.
