Question 1 of 8

Which is the actual SkyMall product?

Chilled Shot Machine

"Nothing goes down smoother than an ice-cold shot of your favorite liquor. Treat yourself with this hassle-free fill-and-pour system that virtually eliminates spills and features LED illumination for an eye-catching bottle display. Simply attach your bottle of choice and let the liquor drop to a temperature colder than ice for a chilly 15 degree F taste sensation."

Burping Beer Buddy

"Say more than 'cheers' when raising a glass with friends with this drinking vessel that has one very distinct sound effect. Made of 100 % german glass, this high-quality mug holds up to 25 oz. of your favorite brew, and upon being tipped, an unsuspected comical burp rings strong and loud--a sound sure to be contagious at any party or celebration."
