I’ve always dreamed of building a house from empty bottles (i.e. – beer, wine, whiskey, mouthwash, etc.). Emptying them out is 90% of the fun! Nevermind the traditional “Pizza Painting Party,” how about a “Drink to Build the West Wing Party!”

Story Served Neat:

• During the 1960, Heineken briefly introduced the World Bottle (or WOBO), a beer bottle that could serve as a brick.
• “The bottom was dimpled in a pattern identical to the bottle’s stubby neck, so that the top of one bottle would interlock with the bottom of the next.”
• “The sides had a nubbled surface, to make them both easier to hold and to apply mortar onto.”
• Heineken actually produced 100,000 WOBOs and even constructed a home out of them.
• The bottle never made it to market, possibly due to the need for thicker glass, blockier corners could chip in shipping, and customer preference for a rounded bottle.

You’re Welcome.
