What happened to cocktail swords?

Posted by ViewtifulGene@reddit | AskAnAmerican | View on Reddit | 6 comments

When I was growing up in Wisconsin, we went to a lot of supper clubs where I could get a Shirley Temple with a little plastic sword holding the cherry garnish. As a grown-ass man, I pretty much never see those cocktail swords anymore, not even for drinks that could benefit from such a garnish pick. What happened to them? I know I can still buy them, but I miss them. How else am I going to win a little plastic duel against a little plastic man?

Wait. WHERE DID THEY GO!?

Key word there is plastic. Plastic is pollution. They were cute swords, I agree, but look at the bright side. We now have those bamboo cocktail swords and those are great for holding your hair in a bun. I use them for that

I still get them every now and then. My wife takes them from me because she's mean. Also I like to poke her with them.

My wife takes my straws from me. I only shot her with the paper sleeve 37 times before I wasn't allowed to have them anymore.

Bad approach. The sleeve is like 42 spitballs if you change your strategy.

I choose life.
