Alright, I’m in. Not that I could drink NEARLY that much anymore, but I’m a sucker for novelty drinkware, AND I’ve got a buddy with a laser etching machine.
These are big enough I could have him print Larry Miller’s 5 stages of drinking on one, and the 12 steps on the other.
(…or is that in poor taste ??)
@mellowirishgent I was half thinking of getting them for this reason more than actually using them for beer, but I don’t get flowers often enough to justify it.
Volkswagen Group owns a test track facility in Ehra-Lessien, some 18 kilometres north of its Wolfsburg factory. The facility was built during the Cold War. The location was chosen because, at the time, it was in a no-fly zone only 10 kilometres west of the border between East Germany and West Germany, and thus secret prototypes could be tested out of sight of potential rivals
Kinda ironic then, that the (now closed and occupied by Snapchat) VW/Audi Santa Monica Design Center was sited next to the Santa Monica Airport… with its natural light outdoor vehicle viewing turntable literally on the other side of the fence from the airport helipad.
@Hanky somebody bought the name, I see Sharper Image-branded gift stuff at Target around the holidays. In fact, I think I saw these there. But yours is a beautiful dream.
Hey, you gotta let “the spoils” age for at least a year. Give the brettanomyces a chance to convert some of the butyric acid into ethyl butyrate. Most of the lactose will probably have been converted to lactic acid early on; that’s gonna slow the brett down and prevent it from converting all of the butyric acid so you’ll end up with a nice, sour, tropical vomit flavor, with hints of horse blanket.
Got mine a few days ago. They’re hilarious! They seem to have some small loose glass fibers in them so be sure to wash them real good before use. These will be great for my brother’s new wet bar.

I cannot even contemplate the mess these would make when my stupid cats inevitably knocked them off the coffee table.
These should have come packaged with those breathalyzers from a while back
meh… still too small.
yeah i mean, screw it. my liver is young, i can fuck it up a bit more.

ok, these’ll hold a margarita.
This will make a quirky vase x 2

The problem with these is unless you chug all 55oz of beer or drink it outside during winter, your beer will get warm halfway through
@cpierce Good beer can be enjoyed at room temperature anyway! Just aim for a stout, porter, or farmhouse saison.
Does it also work with root beer?

I hear they support the Bluetooth supine profile after several uses.
Missed opportunity: Casemates could be selling various cases of craft beer to drink out of these things.
@lljk +1 On this idea!
A case of Bombers or a Furkin or Pony Keg on Casemates would make my day!
Maybe if it were shaped like a boot.
“Das boot! Das boot!..”

@RiotDemon That which you cannot unsee!!
@wickhameh why would you want to unsee this masterpiece?
That last image straight up reminds me of the Split Face from The Thing. Which was also ironically a two for 1 as well.
Sharper Image?
How long have these been sitting in the warehouse? Since 1987?

Bought a friend one of these, which promptly shattered and sliced him while he was washing it, so be careful

These would be good for when you want to drink a lot of warm beer and not have to get up
That’s three and a half pints! That’s almost a gallon!
Honest Officer I only had one beer!
BTW, that $16.99 price at Amazon is for ONE glass. Just in case you were wondering.
@Hounded bargain!
blah
I’m on the fence with this deal.
Next time, pair with some beard oil and I’m in.
I totally thought the last joke image was going to be a woman’s calves.
Good gag gift. It’s nice that the glasses are smaller than a 60 oz pitcher of beer. There’s a joke here somewhere, but I can’t find it.
@marknmd perhaps.
Bah, I’ve seen these at five below.

Don’t beer steins need to have a handle?
These are not steins. They’re Pilsner glasses.

These are great! I will use them to collect human milk…which I bathe in, Then make cheese.
What are the chances these arrive broken? I’m honestly tempted to get them as flower vases, as an excuse to buy myself flowers more often.
@Kawa put them on the coffee table and make comments about how well they could hold flowers to everyone in the room. Someone is bound to get the hint.
I will wait until the oversized wine glasses come out…
Look for these at the thrift store in 3-6 months when the buyers tire of storing them!
Great Christmas gift for the bro and pops.

@Gypsigirl213 It worked! Your order number is: tight-grumpy-vinegar

@Bandrik Were there any chips missing in yours? Surface on both of mine had dings on the outside and inside
