Bowlin' for Beer

Set of four kitschy fun, midcentury drink stirrers / swizzle sticks that I scored from my friend Todd a few months back. Funny lookin' people molded into / onto colorful painted plastic, just a'drinking beer and bowling --or are they lighting old timey, round fuse bombs like they used to have in cartoons? BTW, does anyone use a drink stirrer for their beer?!

Those are absolutely cute! I couldn't even pick out a favorite, each has a great expression and fun little details (like the one tooth on the right.)

Phyllis Diller should get paid some for her likeness, though! :)

Nope. Nobody stirs beer. I love the little feet on these! And the fact that everyone seems to be asleep. Or besotted? Something.

Maybe these were drink stirrers/swizzel sticks used in bowling alleys for mixed drinks, since some bowlers might like scotch on the rocks over beer as a change of pace.

Oh man they're adorable!!! I hope you use them in your iced tea or just stick them in a glass of soda this summer!!!

I will absolutely NOT be sticking these into anything-- they're over 50 years old! Possibly even older than me, in fact... wahhh ;)
