Beer bell mug combines drinking and weight lifting

The Beer Bell
You’ve heard the old joke about working out with 16-ounce curls.
Now you can actually get serious about bicep curls while drinking with the beer bell mug. It’s essentially a beer mug with a hand weight attached. It’s brilliant in its simplicity.
I’m not sure this item exists anywhere outside this obscure eBay auction, so you might want to hurry if you’re determined to exercise with beer. The lot also includes a yellow-paged book demonstrating exercises “in nice condition,” save for pages 16-17.
According to the seller’s description, this vintage item was recovered from an estate sale in the 1980s. Today it’s selling for about 25 bucks — beer not included.
“The beerbell is the most enjoyable exercise device ever created!” the seller promises. “Who says exercise can’t be fun?!?!”
Not us!
