Mini torso shot glass - gags discontinued by Pipedream - review by ~LaUr3n~

USE/INTRO:

The Mini Torso Shot Glass was purchased because I thought it would be funny to add to my growing shot glass collection. It is a funny one at that and definitely unique. I have never seen anything like it actually. It is larger than a regular shot glass, but not as large as the double ones (I have both). It is constructed well and if you are not a klutz like me, should last you a long time since it is made of safe materials.

DESIGN/MATERIAL:

Another unique thing about this shot glass...the material. I have never seen one made of ceramic like this one. It made me a little skeptical at first, but then I realized that my mugs are made of this too. It's the same thing. The hard material can break if dropped but is very durable with the outside glaze that coats it.

The glass itself is 2 1/2 inches tall and about 1 1/2" wide. It is kind of creepy looking now that I have it. A headless and limbless torso with a big cavity in the top of it. It makes me think that you could get a bunch of these and do something creepy with them for a Halloween party ha! The breasts has a small spot of red spray paint on them that makes them look kind of like nipples bu they are not raised. The back has part of a butt and the front has part of a crotch too.

PERFORMANCE:

I have a bar set complete with "tools". I used my double shot measurement thingy (I may have these things...but I don't know their technical names!) to see just how much this thing holds. It can hold 1 shot plus another half of one and still have a bit of room left, which is how it should be. Don't want to spill any and waste the alcohol!

Once full...you should not do it the way I did first! I did the shot boobies in the face first. Motor boat it baby! I ended up spilling part of it on the way in...classy that I am. The back of the torso seems like it is just loped off randomly, but I think it is actually designed to fit the lips (maybe I am giving more credit than should be due). My bottom lips fits perfectly into the curve of the back and my top lip lines up with the inner lip of the glass...spilling nothing of the next shot.

It was a lot of fun using this as a shot glass and even more fun seeing people faces as we took turns using it. It made for some awesome pictures.

CARE/CLEANING:

Since this is ceramic, it is super easy to clean! You can hand wash it with dish soap and water and just put it in the dishwasher. I recommend putting it on the top shelf, it might be too small to not slip through the bottom.

PACKAGING:

It doesn't come with one! It came in a plastic bag. This is a bummer if you want to give this as a gag gift or something. You will have to he package it for that. There is a sticker on the bottom of the glass that should be removed before washing. Wet stickers...no fun!

RATING:

I give this 5 stars. Slight creepiness and ceramic uncommon material aside, this is a really funny and unique piece. It is REALLY well made and there is not reason other than misfortune that will keep this from lasting a long time. The price is right also.

Picture comparing the sizes and showing what I used to measure the shots correctly...

I still love this, but unfortunately it broke. It doesn't fit well in a dishwasher because of the shallow depth. It was in the dishwasher with other ceramic and glass bowls. When I opened the dishwasher after running it, the shot glass was in two very clean cut pieces. I'm guessing it got tossed around a bit and clanged into something else. I'm looking to replace this since it didn't break because of its construction. I just have to find a better way to secure it in the dishwasher, or to wash it by hand. I suggest the second option.
