Think you're smart enough to master My Other Half? This set of wine glasses is connected via tubing at the bottom, which means liquid always flows down to the lowest glass. Essentially, you'll have to work together with your partner whenever one of you wants to take a drink. A pretty neat game that ensures you won't get hammered by yourself and puts a little more fun into drinking (as if it needed it).
And if you can master these fluid dynamics, you could make sure your date always has more to drink than you. Not that we're condoning that. Hit the jump to see it in use.

So the heavier drinker is essentially getting more, and the lighter drinker gets less.
Per refill, that is.
...
I'm not so sure about that...
I hope you're drinking with a straw, because judging by those pictures, that's the only way you're drinking anything since it appears to empty your glass as you lift it.
Either that or work on synchronized drinking, which in my experience, synchronized anything while drinking doesn't work too well.
What happens when the tube is the lowest part? Nobody gets to drink?
Okay, that means that when I go out on a date with a short girl, she will get hammered. So if I do not want my date getting hammered I have to find a tall girl. If anyone knows of any tall, geek loving, girls in the Chicagoland area please let me know. I will supply the wine and dinner.
I'm not a master of fluid dynamics but if one were to fill said glasses half full and one were to take a drink, wouldn't the "lower" glass overflow. The glasses seem fun for about the first spill.
Wow, that guy looks happy in the second picture.
This is why real geeks always bring binder clips to a date, just in case...
Wow, there just so many directions you could go with this one.
- I can imagine one of these packaged with a box-o-wine.
- Wine-bong anyone?
- Is it me, or does the guy in those pics not seem too terribly stable? (see bottom pic) bird nose fruitcake
I'd like to know what is on the woman's plate.. hmm...
He's happy because he's cleverly refilled his partner's glass back to full, perhaps to intoxicate her.
Now all he has to do is cleverly not drop his arm until she finishes.
Clever.
@Camaro02
if you can find a tall girl who will go out with a real geek - I will pay for your dinner
mmmm ... shared backwash.
"drink, my lovely, drink. pay no attention to the looming darkness behind me. Drink!"
so if you fill both glasses and someone lifts their glass the other glass over flows. You won't be able to put more into both glasses than one glass would hold unless you both drink at the same time.
Tall chicks are over rated. Go short - there's much to be said for micro-dates.
even better, by the same artist:

@gabrielm
they make smoking look so creepy and dangerous
as opposed to when i do it, and it looks cool
^^^Better for pot? Yesh.
How about implication of transmitting some kind of disease through back wash?
looks like 2 people sharing a blood transfusion.
Seems like it might take a while to get the last of it
All you have to do is seal off the top of the glass with your hand and when the other person lifts his/her glass, the fluid level won't move.
Damn I want a cigarette sharing device so much. http://www.jimrokos.com/til%20death%20do%20us%20part%20oje...
Talk about back wash heaven...
That would turn into a pretty sweet beer bong if you flip over one glass. High class Wine Bong more like.
How bout that Wii chick?
Step 1: unplug hose.
Step 2: lay flat on ground - stick hose in mouth.
Step 3: tell partner to pour
step 4: pass out.
Ugh, backwash. I think I threw up a little pinot grigio into my own mouth, or was it my date's.....?
Erm, first off, I'm fairly sure the point of this is that you're both supposed to drink at the same time, second if you are using this chances are it's with your parter, so is there really a problem with the small amount of backwash(that would probably stay in the hose anyway) from the person whose mouth you're going to stick your tongue into anyway? I don't think these were designed with functionality in mind, more of a drinking game type thing.
Is that "wine"(liquid tar?) in the first picture black, or is it just my crappy moniter?
I'm curious to see how this company might solve the problem of one partner reaching climax before the other during sexual intercourse.
Ewwwww!! Backwash!!!
That shit is lame as fuck. I'd like to stick some crack in the other design that was made though, and share a rock with a whore or two.
You know when I drink alone... I prefer to be by myself.
I came to comment and then i saw what seemed to me perfectly logical... If one lifts up the glass of wine, the other receives extra. Which means that they both have to drink (Raise your glass a bit more than your partners, hillarity ensues).
Plus the overall yuckiness of cooperative mouth bacteria and saliva (Trust me, the only right and safe way to exchange such elements is kissing).
Also... How in the world do you keep the damn connecting hose clean? Unsolved Mysteries will return after this other posts.
Holy crap, you guys are freakin' paranoid about backwash... I didn't realize that most posters are still in grade school.
So do you all drink non-alchoholic wine?? Pretty sure the alcohol would kill anything in the backwash. Also, aren't you supposed to sip wine? How much could there really be?
@ watersketch
these things + binder clip = HACKED!
what a terrible idea.
now where did I leave those hemostats...?
