    You forgot they season it with moss, musk, or some random type of wood. WTF do they think I am, a termite?

    The knife flavored whiskey can also be lathered into a foam to shave your balls with. Your man balls.

    Metal flasks are such a stupid gift.

    You want whiskey? Buy a god damned bottle. A flask holds A big pour of liquid. You’re going to bring a drink somewhere? Good one, Bevis.

    Sneaking it into something? Nope, it’s metal and clunky big.

    Metal conducts heat, so your bodyheat hot whiskey will burn the whole time, no matter how good it is.

    Be an adult and buy a plastic nalgeen flask you keep in your sock. Does the place do pat-downs? Ok, then chug 8 oz of whiskey in the parking lot like god intended. They can’t take it from you when it’s in you already. ; )

      I bought a plastic flask in college and my buddies ragged on me for being cheap… they all borrowed it at least once because the venue they wanted to go to had metal detectors.

        Yep. Taken mine into Pitchfork, hockey games, and whatever else. Metal flasks are as useful as a plaque on a wall. Nice visually, not functionally.

      Metal conducts heat

      A friend of mine put Jägermeister straight from the freezer into a flask and shoved it down their pants. 30 minutes later the liquid had expanded so much the flask burst.

      You could use a measuring cup and a funnel. Fill the flask with water, then pour it out into the empty measuring cup to figure out its volume. Then only fill it with that much whiskey or whatever

      But… I like sandalwood. Also sage and cedar (even tho I’m allergic to real cedar)

      Can’t stand those whiskey, smoke, leather, etc “manly” smells.

        SAME! Just find it funny that those are the limited selection of “manly” smells.

        I prefer floral scents but my wife is allergic.

        She’s also allergic to whatever they use for a lot of the “manly” scents so I’m limited to whatever we discover she can be around without sneezing.

    I dunno about anyone else, but just hit me with a disposable trinket. Food and drink are fan favorite gifts because you’re not compelled to house them any longer than it takes to consume them.

    Something that you really want and is worth $1 but you can’t buy for less than $20 is something you’ll never buy for yourself. That’s often a pretty good gift.

      Yeah, I just send people my list of shit that I think I want but I’m on the fence about spending money on when they ask for gift ideas. Can’t go wrong there. Certainly better than them going off script and trying to get something on their own based off what they think they know about my interests.

      They’re absurdly overpriced, but I wonder how quickly you’d make your money back if you bought a big one and had men pay a fee to mess with it for a few minutes.

          I’m certain that all metals are flammable if you try hard enough, because all it takes is oxidation. Quite a number of them can burn in a self-sustaining manner in terrestrial conditions, though, mostly provided if and only if you manage to have enough surface area of the stuff available in one place. Powdering them usually works for that. Or, if you’d like to watch some iron burn, a fun science fact is that you can light a wad of regular old steel wool like the kind you’d buy at the grocery store as if it were a cotton ball. The finer sized the better, and you should probably also do this outside.

            My admittedly not great understanding of it was along the lines of some metals are too good at conducting heat and would basically put their own fires out in most circumstances. I do not know if that is correct

              Maybe, but I can tell you that copper’s thermal conductivity is better than e.g. gold, and copper can absolutely burn in open air if the particle sizes are small enough. Aluminum will too, of course.

              I’m not about to try it with my meager supply of gold. The stuff is damned expensive at the moment.

      William Osman made the tungsten cube so expensive. It was like $2k when he did his video wrecking shit with it. Now they’re asking $10k for the 3 inch cube.

      I respect the hustle, but damn.

      Still, the 1 cm model is like $50 and would still be absurdly heavy for its size, even if it only weighs 19¼ grams.

      Might be worth it to find yourself a bunch of old incandescent lightbulbs and get the filaments out instead.
