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, 'Iām too cool for plain!'? Because why just drink when you can sip in style that says, 'Iām stuck inside, but my personalityās throwing a party.'

(1 of 3)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?
