Take a nice big gulp from these novelty drinking glasses from the “Moist and Merry” series by Donkey Products.

The Donkey Product drinking glasses are sure to spark conversation at any dinner table as guests peer at the image of a dog urinating on a fire hydrant imprinted on their glass. If dogs don’t do it for you, the little boy option is a nice touch. Just beware of serving beer in these glasses.

Of course, if you don’t enjoy the thought of urine with your beverage, you can pick up the false teeth drinking glasses. Perfect for slightly senile grandpa’s who end up plopping their falsies in their tea.
