Glasses made in New Jersey. Decorated in Pennsylvania.

This clever drink set would make cocktail hour quadruply fun. Optimists and pessimists can both drink to that, right?

Not humorous.

Whitney

I love them all, they are so awesome. I suppose I prefer A or B though. tge little arrows are a cute touch however, the word spacing on B is so quirky and fun.

dawn

Boring

Christine
Vote: Thumbs up!

I have a close friend whom we all call 'the glass half empty lady', this would suit her perfectly

Dana
Vote: Thumbs down!

Their Ok, but I thought that a lot of drinkers start out as an optimist, but as the night goes on the pessimist begins to take over .

patricia
Vote: Thumbs up!

nice to know what to put into the glasses

Amy
Vote: Thumbs down!

I like the glass itself, but the optimist/pessimist thing is just kind of unimaginative...

Lynn
Vote: Thumbs up!

B !

Holly
Vote: Thumbs up!

design (c) is the best

DonnaMarie
Vote: Thumbs up!

Cute Idea - I like A best

Karen
Vote: Thumbs up!

I like A for the larger typeface, but don't like the arrows on any of them. The Opti/Pessi split on B is jarring, don't like that.

Brooke
Vote: Thumbs up!

C is my fav.

I get what they are going for, but it misses the mark.

Lily
Vote: Thumbs down!

Doesn't catch my attention enough to want to buy.

Nannette
Vote: Thumbs up!

Don't understand the 3 takes on it, but they are cute. I think I would stick to one design and do it in different colors.

Christine
Vote: Thumbs up!

Pessimist should be on top and optimist on the bottom, which is not one of the choices. A

somewhat boring, nothing new, but version B would be best, if at all

Marie
Vote: Thumbs up!

A or C

Jaclyn
Vote: Thumbs up!

I like the design in A for sure, closely followed by C. If you're doing shots, you'll soon be too drunk to figure out what B says.

Janis
Vote: Thumbs up!

I'll drink to that!

elaine
Vote: Thumbs up!

could be fun for those who like this sort of thing!
