Sure crystal’s nice. It adds gravitas to your cocktail party if the commissioner is coming round for dinner. China is the appropriate receptacle if the vicar is coming round for tea. And a silver chalice for mass. But have we forgotten the universal appeal of the trusty beaker? Have we relegated the word to a character on Sesame Street.
Why has someone not upgrade the concept? Why is there no posh beaker? Surely such a classic receptacle is worthy of what the moviemakers might call a “re-imagining”.
It gives us drip-free hydration during our first self-imbibed drinks. It gives us the freedom of a light rucksack on picnics.
It gives us a sense of fun. How can you not have fun when the activity involves a beaker? And if that’s not enough, it might have a lid.
The message is simple.
Bring back beakers!!
