Alex Beim must be a heavy drinker, ’cause I have no idea how he got so many empty bottles for his project. The LED Bottle Wall is a sight that seems appropriate for a Disney World attraction. Slews of LED lights penetrate the reflective surface of the bottles, creating an luminary effect that’s unmatched by Pink Floyd.
Just because your mother has more facial hair than you do doesn’t make you any less of a man. Weak facial hair is unfortunate, but not really something you can change through pure willpower alone.
Bottle ‘Staches attach right onto your bottle of soda pop, creating the illusion of a well-formed mustache under your schnoz as you drink your icy beverage. The ’staches are available in several different mustache styles, including the Dali (also known as the Stromboli) and the box car.
You probably wouldn’t believe us if we didn’t have the photographic proof to back it up, but empty soda bottles actually make pretty effective tripods on-the-cheap. While there are gadgets actually made to turn soda bottles into functioning tripods, there is an even easier and cheaper way just to do it yourself, which is so much more fun anyway.
You’ll need a few tools and supplies, but the total cost of the construction supplies makes this DIY extremely appealing. You’ll be spending about $3 total on the parts you’ll need, not including the soda, which hopefully won’t knock you over budget.
When you have an infant, you must warm up milk in a bottle for them to gulp down. However, too cold and the child will bitch and moan. Too hot, and Child Protection Services will be knocking at your door for reasons unknown. Cut the bullshit and just get this temperature-sensitive bottle from designers Hung Cheng, Tzu-Yu Huang, Tzu-Wei Wang, and Yu-Wei Xiang. If it’s too hot, the red face appears. When the temperature is jussssst right, it turns green. Even you can figure that one out, I hope.
Even Buddhist monks need time to kick back and enjoy a beer or two now and then. What better place to enjoy such leisure activities than a Buddhist temple comprised of beer bottles. Buddhist monks from Thailand’s Sisaket province collected a million bottles to build the Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple. It makes the drunk Eskimo’s pad look like an arts and crafts project.

When you’re in the market for a new chandelier to decorate your home, style is everything. Sometimes style is outweighed by design, which is the case with this water bottle chandelier designed by Michelle Brand. We’ve seen chandeliers made of all sorts of recycled junk. Ballpoint pens, CD cases and even milk crates can be used to make impressive-looking household decor and the creativity doesn’t stop there.
Artist Michelle Brand uses cut-off plastic bottle bases to shower interiors with light. So not only is she resourcefully recycling plastic, she’s also making a bitchin’ light source for your living room.
Ever wonder what a drunk Eskimo’s pad looks like? It’s an igloo made out of bottles. When you’re in Alaska, the middle of nowhere, it’s difficult to find recycling depots. I guess that’s why artist Jasmine Zimmerman created this open-roofed greenhouse from hundreds of plastic drink bottles we litter our streets with everyday. That or she hates really hates Palin.
Because Americans drink 70 million disposable bottles of water each day, with just 10 million making their way to a recycling bin, Jasmine wants to help spread the word about recycling and repurposing everyday objects in our environment. The “Bottle Greenhouse” will be exhibited in empty lots, rooftops, parks, and vacant buildings to raise awareness as well as give bums a place to crash for the night.
After having seen a USB drive that comes packed with Ernie Hudson on it, it seemed like no other flash drive could ever come close to tickling my fancy. That is, until I saw this bad boy. While the USB drive bottle opener is far from a new concept, who says digital storage and beer don’t mix?
This nifty flash drive is from German manufacturer TrekStor, which proves that Germans know how to party. It’s available in sizes ranging from 1GB up to 16GB priced anywhere from $10 to $71. Imagine how fly you’ll look when cracking open your lady friend’s beer. Imagine how fly you won’t look once you show her what’s on the stick.
Hamburger phones, sandwich phones, pig phones, are all edible, or at least look edible. Breaking the edible theme of telecommunication comes the Beer Bottle phone. Both drinkable and breakable (to an extent) it even has a last number redial button just in case you want to call back your girlfriend who was done talking to you the moment she hung up.
If you had one of these in your room, none of your friends would ever doubt your taste in phones. However, your taste in beer would be in question. For $11.99, you can let all your friends know you like your phones like you like your beer: cheap.
Reef sure makes some interesting sandals. While they’re not my forte (Birkenstocks!), some of the designs work while others don’t. Those sandals Reef designed a few years back that hold booze inside? Yeah, they ended up sucking big time. These Fanning sandals have Reef set on the right path for sure.
In the bottom of the sole, you’ll find a bottle-opener that will surely come in handy when you’re cracking open brews with Nick Hogan on your speedboat. With both girls and guys models, you probably won’t have a problem slapping down $60 for a pair of these. Oh, I hear they’re pretty comfy too, so that’s always a plus. Beer first, comfort second. Remember that.
