Seriously Chic or Seriously Geek?
Last week, I was served a drink in an Erlenmeyer Flask. I was taken back to high-school chemistry, and couldn't help wondering where the Bunsen Burner would turn up. But the kooky presentation worked with the bright orange colors of the drink, made with prossecco, vodka, and mango puree. And with two straws coming out at different heights and angles, it almost reminded me of some magical love potion straight out of a twisted fairy tale. Shrek, perhaps?
Having googled suppliers of chemistry supplies, I discovered that Erlenmeyer flasks sell for as little as $3.50 a piece, or $3.10 when bought in sets of 12 or more! At that rate, they're totally affordable accent pieces for an otherwise classic set of serveware.
What do you think? Seriously chic or seriously geek?
