Doomed Skull Shot Glass. Corkcicle Wine Chiller. Corkcicle.

Not only are this tchotchke's name and aesthetics cute 'n' clever, the item actually serves a utilitarian purpose.

Corkcicles feel they provide clean, portable solutions to wine chilling from the inside out, and achieve Baby-Bear levels of just right over and over again. To use, freeze Corkcicles for 90 minutes, and then insert in a bottle of white wine just after pouring the first glass to maintain the perfect temperature.

They designed the liquor-laden saga with straightforward rules and magic cards that are easy to understand, so that anyone--even those who begin the Drunk before the Quest part--can pick up and get in on the action in minutes.
