I'm not bashing this vid. I like it.

But conical glasses are basically champagne glasses, and they're supposed to be deceptively sized to keep people from over-drinking and not feeling like they're getting gypped.

hahaha you can't stop people from over drinking by just tricking them into thinking they're drinking more than they are. If it takes me 8 of those to get drunk, you'd better believe that I'm downing 14 of them. If it only takes me 3 to get drunk, I'm probably STILL gonna down 14...point is, me gets drunkses.

Hey - you guys are right.

They just look more like champagne glasses to me.

It's sort of like how people snort coke off of mirrors - it looks like you're snorting more, so you don't snort as much.

I'll ask for my next manhattan in a mug.

May I have my Martini Bong please...

It's pretty obvious with these glasses. What I don't like is the cocktail glasses that are more-or-less cylindrical on the outside, but with a considerably smaller conical cavity within. Often the thick glass at the base of the, er, glass is shaped so as to magnify the image making it appear as though the base is full of liquor. I'm sure you've seen them. They're pretty standard issue at bars.

Whatevs, martinis still average the highest ratio of alcohol to filler for your hard-earned $$, no matter what shape glass they come in. Yes please!

What surprises me is that people didn't already realize that. But then again, this is coming from the person who owns 2 cups total . . . cause if it came in a bottle, why buy cups?

On the rocks!

I propose mirrors are used because it's easiest to make 'lines' on the gauranteed smooth, non-porous surface of a mirror or glass, thereby avoiding the loss of any cocaine powder to areas where it may potentially deposit and remain unsnorted.

What.
