http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_coke-phone.jpgIf you need more evidence that American culture has jumped the shark, check out the second (http://gizmodo.com/5443128/pour-coke-into-this-phone-concept-to-charge-it-and-rot-its-teeth) Coca Cola phone to hit in as many weeks. There's just one thing worth mentioning: IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
You can even buy it now, and the price is pretty mind boggling too, at just $6.64. Sadly it's not powered by Coca-Cola, nor is it a cellphone, but at 1:1 scale this landline phone will definitely be a talking point at house parties.
The dial pad is located on the base of the cup, and you hold it just like you would a normal phone—look closely, and you can see a mouthpiece and speaker. Pretty crazy stuff.
