It’s not too much to ask for a martini glass that doesn’t want to topple over. However when it comes to barware, long stemmed martini glasses are an accident waiting to happen. (Remember, these things are meant to be filled with booze!) Overcoming tradition is not always an easy thing, but if it means less spilled booze, then perhaps it’s not a bad idea to consider a new design. The Starfrit Gourmet 7-Ounce Double Wall Martini Glass provides a stable drinking experience (ahem) by replacing the long stem with a sturdy double-walled trunk.

Mount it to the wall and the problem is solved. Now where to stash all those paper ones…

New BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger Looks Wrong Way
Well, I’ll admit it’s not the first thing I thought of when I saw the new BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger, but it did remind me of Eddie Murphy’s classic sketch about a McDonalds burger. His ‘house-burger’ that he described had peppers and onions integrated throughout the patty, while Burger King’s new offering “stuffs†the patty with jalapeño peppers and Cheddar cheese.
Look forward to a television campaign starting January 17.
(Psst, Burger King. This is what a stuffed burger is supposed to look like.)
