Sold as a single shoe in a 1 litre bottle, or a pair of shoes in a 2 litre bottle.
People will shit trying to figure out "why?" anyone would do this.-- reensure, Jun 08 2005 The Answer to the Carami...<thud> https://web.archive...-edward/cadbury.htm<Move along, nothing to see here.> [zen_tom, Jun 09 2005] How'd They Do That? https://web.archive...ottlewoodenshoe.jpgAnd the shoes are wood! [k_sra, Jun 09 2005] Pear in a Bottle https://web.archive...om/Pearinbottle.htmI'd always wanted to know, thanks Pa`ve! [zen_tom, Jun 10 2005] Oh, my, god. The new laxative! Anorexics and old people will love it! BUN-- daseva, Jun 08 2005 or not-- dentworth, Jun 08 2005 yeah, true. BONE-- daseva, Jun 08 2005 +-- po, Jun 08 2005 Yeah, I think I'm with [po] on this one. BUN-- daseva, Jun 08 2005 It's already starting to work its magic on [pa've].-- Machiavelli, Jun 08 2005 [Pa've], dude, are you shitting yet?-- daseva, Jun 08 2005 //How do you tie the laces? //Knitting needles, patience and a very steady hand. It could be a new 'executive toy'.-- gnomethang, Jun 08 2005 New Reenshoes, guaranteed to stay dry in any weather.-- Worldgineer, Jun 08 2005 Is there any liquid in the bottle? Pickled sneakers?-- jaksplat, Jun 09 2005 It's like the Caramilk secret.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 09 2005 ..pssst!....What's the Caramilk secret?
Do the shoes have some kind of rigging-like structure that can be erected by the pull of a string?-- zen_tom, Jun 09 2005 I can't tell you. Their spys are everywhere.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 09 2005 WTF!?<clenches; shuffles off to loo>-- Jinbish, Jun 09 2005 It's certainly a really interesting way of selling footwear. Certainly would be a nice promotional tool for a new brand.-- kuupuuluu, Jun 09 2005 Trainers commercial:
"In case of emergency, break glass."-- zen_tom, Jun 09 2005 <Cheeks puff out ... eyes widen and redden ... nostrils flare ... spokesperson peeps at bottleneck> "Hey! Is that sole?"-- reensure, Jun 10 2005 No, I'd be trying to figure out how anyone would do this. Tell me how and I'll take away this fishbone.-- baconbrain, Jun 11 2005 [baconbrain] - Plastic bottle: use memoryform plastic, heat plastic bottle until elastic, open up neck, insert shoe, cool bottle. Glass bottle: remove base of bottle while glass is still hot and pliable, cool bottle while leaving base heated, insert shoe, press bottle to hot base and fuse.-- wagster, Jun 11 2005 Using those fancy manipulator arms for keyhole surgery, a good cobbler could make a shoe inside a bottle. S/He'd just need some training on how to use the arms.-- Adze, Jun 11 2005 Annoyingly, after reading the "There was an old lady" starting I was so convinced it would be a limerick that I read it three times thoroughly trying to figure out how "thought" could rhyme with "head".-- hidden truths, Jun 11 2005 Well, I wrote one while in school (creative writing class)
There was a young penguin in drag, Who swore he was not a real fag; "But ice cubes are kinky, And dresses are slinky, And girl penguins just make me gag".
Back to the shoes: Does the cobbler get a wee cobbling stand in the bottle?
Oh, and a liter bottle would have a size 43 shoe, but a quart bottle would have a 10-1/2.-- moPuddin, Jun 12 2005 While walking on beach a man finds a shoe in a glass bottle on the tideline. Seeing a message in the shoe he breaks open the bottle to read: "Ha!, now no one will believe you found a shoe in a bottle" (+)-- MrDaliLlama, Jun 12 2005 ... and that, class, concludes today's lesson on how to write a parable.-- reensure, Jun 13 2005 + I just added the extra bun to bring this over the top. Bottled shoes, gloves and undies...-- xandram, Nov 05 2015 Cloth shoes such as sneakers would be easier to get into a bottle and maybe out. It could be a new way to market sneakers and recycle old bottles.-- travbm, Nov 05 2015 "If I could have shoes in a bottle..." - Jim Croce-- smendler, Nov 06 2015 random, halfbakery
