Now, you can just wear a fishbowl instead of living in one every time you go to the pub. A Scottish designer has come up with a way to accessorize beer goggles says the New York Daily News: speech bubbles. Yes, that’s right. The woman says she was inspired not by Get Smart’s “Cone of Silence,” but by the age-old dilemma of trying to have a conversation while in a loud bar. The “Social Spheres” come in two sizes, says the UK’s Daily Mail, one for individuals (I guess if you want to talk to yourself) and one for couples.
