This guy narrowly escaped being labeled “NSFW.” It’s hardly something he could help–lots of bottles end up being kind of, well, narrowed and tapered and such, but not many of them are…ah…quite this streamlined. Typically bottles aren’t something I’d accuse of having a dirty leer, but if there was ever a bottle capable of it, this bottle could have ideas.
“How about you and me drink whatever I’m holding and to hell with whatever it may be, whiskey or rum or cheap cologne, and then play a couple of rounds of ‘hide the cap’? It’s a little game I invented. Just between you and me, I’m always the winner.”
There is a small chance that this is a totally innocuous bottle, maybe a commemorative piece from the early 1980s relaunch of Saturday Night Live’s “Coneheads,” or a sacred altarpiece from a tiny culture that worshipped cucumbers as gods. It’s possible, but is it likely? No.
Just look at that face. Try and imagine a universe where it’s innocent. Can you? I can’t.
The only appropriate response to the bottle is shame.

Looks like Dracula (the real historic Dracula, according to a woodcut I saw)
I remember those! One of my mother’s friends sold Avon back in the 70’s. There was a men’s cologne (or maybe it was aftershave) that came in bottles modeled after chess pieces. I remember looking through the catalogue and begging my mother for them because I loved chess. *chuckle*
What do you suppose that chubby silver-plated conehead-baby with the evil grin has in her hand, next to him. Gasoline? Truly distressing!
