Pandemic Glassware Renaissance: Because Boring Is a Crime
Welcome to the bizarre new bar cart era where, as the article cheerfully notes, 'I want my cocktail glasses to look like they could cast a spell on me or speak several languages.' From confetti-embellished coupes to pink flamingo glasses perfect for a spritz spectacle, pandemic lockdowns have apparently conjured a renaissance of whimsical drinkware. Who knew that your soulmate might just be a $355 purple and khaki cocktail glass screaming, 'Iâm too cool for plain!'? Because why just drink when you can sip in style that says, 'Iâm stuck inside, but my personalityâs throwing a party.'

Ah yes, the glassware renaissance: proof humanity thrives in chaos by dressing up its booze vessels fancier than my Tinder dates. Who needs personality when your cocktail glass can do the cha-cha and whisper sweet nothings?
So let me get this straightâduring a global lockdown, we didnât just stockpile toilet paper, we staged a full-blown parade of flamboyant cocktail glasses? Is this the looks-are-everything version of social distancing?
Imagine paying $355 for a purple and khaki glass to âcast a spellâ on you. Oh, Iâm sorry, did I miss the part where your drink needed to work harder than your Wi-Fi to distract from your social life?
