Okay these are from the days when everyone worshiped their cocktails so much that they had to dress them up. I call these jockstraps for cocktails.
I mean as coasters they don’t work because not all of the bottom of the glass is protected. It is like a jock strap. and on the side of the box it says ‘FOR GAY PARTY COASTERS’. Now what did they mean by GAY? YES, it certainly spices up my glass for both the men and the women. I just know that this has to qualify for kitsch because if someone asked me should they come up with this earth shattering coaster concept, I would have said save your thread. But that is why it is so brilliant.
What Allee has to say about this:
Well, these are great for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact you point out that the bottom of the glass is still exposed so anything that the underwear doesn’t absorb can still leave a ring on the table which seems to defeat at least half of the point of these. Also seems like the lace on ‘Hers’ would feel really annoying against your palm and the elastic of ‘His’ isn’t wide enough to keep the chill away from enough of your palm. And then, of course, there’s the use of the word ‘gay’ which seems completely antithetical to this being an item for her and him.
