Halloween. A holiday Metal fans revere in, as the holiday is known for being a pagan harvest festival to honor the dead, or just to get dressed in costumes and run around town getting free candy, if you're under the age of 7. As for the rest of us, it is a time to either vandalize people's home with chicken dumplings (aka eggs), the paper mile (aka toilet paper), and the cream of forestry destruction (aka shave cream), or to get together at parties/clubs and just get wasted with even goofier outfits than the norm.
Today's exposé involves what makes those people get wasted and make them look goofier than normal. The skull pitcher.
Halloween season, 2010. I found this in one of the many Party City's taking advantage of the holiday. As intended for Halloween as it is, it is actually something Metal fans should have in their homes year round, since some of us do want to drink something aside from the usual liquid substance known as beer.
The skull pitcher sports a menacing fierce pissed look on it's face, saying dare to drink from my head and I'll make you sorry (not that it can't do much to you to begin with, but at least it tried).
Most pitchers do require the use of a handlebar to allow the operator the requisite to utilize the container in proper fashion, and as you can see, the handlebar definitely was not spared of the evilness that is the skull pitcher.
The beverage to showcase the pitchers capabilities is probably the most Metal Kool Aid flavor to bask the world, which is Black Cherry. Since I ran out of all alcoholic substances to provide an appropriate liquid to fill the skull, I had to go with the next best option. Always have a Plan B, even if Plan B happened to be lying around.
With the powers of sugar, Kool Aid Black Cherry Mix, and Tap Water combined, I make a beverage that looks more evil than it's taste. Black Cherry is not the best flavor around, but it sure as hell looks Metal. Plus the skull looks like it's holding blood of an animal that was sacrificed to the Metal Gods.
The best part of this pitcher is that it decorates the interior of my refrigerator in a very Metal manner.
