Of all of the absurd gag gifts out there, this hairbrush flask is in its own category of over-the-top. At first, it's hilarious — a cup that looks just like my circa-2001 Goodies brush! — and oddly practical, in that illicit (unless it's BYOB) booze-smuggling way. Then, it turns kind of dark: Just how, exactly, are people using this?
It got our attention for the obvious: Everyone knows someone who's gone to outrageous lengths to smuggle a drink — be it booze or bottled water — to avoid paying the sky-high prices of any kind of liquid at a music festival or theater. (Seriously, $6.50 for 16 ounces of Poland Springs?! You're kidding, right?) This is the gag gift for that person. For the person who loves a drink so much that you wonder if he or she is bordering on dependency, this 'Stealth Flask' and a "that's so you!" note is just a bad, bad idea.
Of course, though the flask is designed by a company called Smuggle Your Booze, Inc. (yes, that's its real name), it doesn't have to be used for alcohol. It holds 6 ounces, so you could, theoretically, fill it with sprinkles, caramel sauce, or a little Diet Pepsi if you're a fanatic trapped in a Coca-Cola world — like Disney World, which only offers the latter.
Laugh now, but you'll be kicking yourself the day you're faced with an ice cream sundae emergency, and the only thing separating you from happiness and sheer bliss is a pile of rainbow sprinkles.
