Luckily, UK comedian Shed Simove has. The Google Glass tumblr is a drinking glass with their logo and search bar engraved on it. Currently a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novaz-crystal-glass) project, the alcoholic tumbler can be customized with any search term. The punny cups are filled with Google Glass humor, including slogans like 'I'm feeling lucky' and 'search for beverage.' The entrepreneur conceived of the glasses as a more affordable and accessible version of the [popular wearable technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kering-eyewear-x-google). Big on word play, he also suggests it would be perfect with a byte to eat. While the crowdsourcing campaign has exceeded its pledge goal, Simove noted he may need to start another fundraiser if Google decides to sue him. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable Drinking Glasses:** Opportunity for businesses to create personalized and unique drinking glasses with custom designs and slogans. - **Humorous Product Marketing:** Potential for companies to incorporate humor into their products or marketing campaigns to engage customers and create a memorable brand experience. - **Affordable Wearable Alternatives:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing more affordable and accessible alternatives to popular wearable technologies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Customization Industry:** Opportunity for businesses in the customization industry to offer personalized drinkware options to consumers. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Unique opportunity for companies in the marketing and advertising industry to utilize humor in product promotions and campaigns to attract customers. - **Wearable Technology Industry:** Potential for companies in the wearable technology industry to explore more affordable and accessible options to expand their customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transparent Crystal Glasswares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novaz-crystal-glass.md) - [Anatomy-Inspired Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-glasses.md) - [Thin-Based Angular Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinkware-1.md) - [Unbreakable Wine Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unbreakable-wine-glass.md) - [Deceptive Stout Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schneaky-espresso-martini.md) - [Emotional Introspection Drinking Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-and-words.md) - [AR Language Translation Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-ar-glasses.md) - [Dedicated Craft Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Humorous Cocktail-Inspired Pull Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzballz-pool.md)
