Who Knew Opening Champagne With A Glass Looked So Suave?

I would happily go through several crates of champagne in the quest to find other tools to open a bottle of champers with. Even on a Monday morning. Especially on a Monday morning. [VVV via DailyWhat via @Litmanlive]

Coke’s Classic Bottles Reissued For 125th Birthday

Who here recognises any of the Coke bottles in that rack? We should all be familiar with the far-right one, which has been in production since 1916, but do you recognise the other three, which were on shelves from 1899?

Buying An Empty Bottle Of Kitchen Cleaner Actually Isn’t A Scam

Replenish knows something that you might not – almost all (they claim 95 per cent) of cleaning agents are water. The rest is the chemical concentrate that gets things done. So why pay for water? Replenish sells empty bottles and concentrate. Simple.

Begin The Geekification Of Your Offspring Early With The iiamo Self Heating Bottle

Gizmodo AU

That pink thing in the picture isn’t what you think it is. It’s a baby bottle. But more than that, it’s a baby bottle that heats itself up automatically, without batteries or dangerous chemicals.

The Reusable Bamboo Bottle Is Far Tougher Than It Looks

We’ve seen appealing-looking reusable water bottles before, but there’s something particularly charming about the Bamboo Bottle. It’s made of tough Phyllostachys Pubescens bamboo and will hold many hot and cold beverages without ever allowing chemicals to leach into your drink.

Drink From Your Own Customised Heineken Bottle

Get rid of Heineken’s iconic green bottle and customise a bottle yourself. It’ll cost you a pretty penny at $US36 for a six-pack so don’t play beer pong with this, enjoy every sip. Responsibly, of course. [Heineken via Fast Company]
