Hilariously Literal Drink Coasters

These Clever Drink Coasters Offer a Round of Drinks On Them

These clever drink coasters by Karin Åkesson utter the sweet, four-letter phrase that everyone is dying to hear from their friends, co-workers or significant other: "Drinks Are On Me."

Unfortunately, these coasters won't pick up your tab at the bar, but they are a fun way to keep your countertops ring-free. If you enjoy a very literal sense of humor, you'll get a kick out of Åkesson's coaster set, because what could be more literal than a coaster with a drink atop it?

Each coaster in the four-set is made from cardboard and states the obvious via ink drawing. A must-have for every party-loving hostess, these coasters will hopefully prompt your guests to buy a round the next time you head out to the pub.
