Tuned Pale Ale is a product by designer Matt Braun. There's a musical scale down the side of each bottle. You can drink down to a particular level, blow on rim, and the bottle will play a note. If you get a few people together with these bottles, you'll be able to perform a melody. Braun writes:
This product aims to promote more of this type of social interaction. This product aims to inform users about the musical qualities of existing bottles and to make the bottle a better instrument.

Is there ANYONE that's not a "artist" or "designer" that buys this descriptive crap?
It's beer, people drink it to get wasted, there is no "musical quality" of beer bottles - unless you count puking sounds and fists hitting face noises as "music".
Why didn't I think of that?
I'd guess that local to where this dude is, it's fine, fun, and affordable. Otherwise, you're either going to have to ship it out or get a local store to carry it at increased cost. Not worth it in that case.
Or, it's a brilliant way to sell seven 6-packs.
