There are a lot of bottle opener/keychain combo for beer lovers, but what if your beverage of choice is wine? And not the "in-the-box" kind?
Fret not! Here comes the world's smallest corkscrew that just so happens to double as a keychain as well:
This ingenious keyring-friendly gizmo comprises a 4mm stainless steel bar that passes through the centre of a full size corkscrew helix. When your cork needs popping simply slide out the bar, thread it through the top of the screw section and you’re good to go.

i was skeptical but not at all incredulous at the idea. smacking the bottom of a snapple makes the top pop; that energy has to go SOMEWHERE. anyways, i've tried it and was pleased to find it works like a charm (though sometimes it's necessary to break the cork free from the walls of the neck with a small knife, or push it in a bit just to get things moving.
Actually, I prefer it even if I have got one, as it's a much more fun way to open a bottle. Snobs will advise against this based on claims of 'bruising' the wine. To that I say meh.

Instead of "join a car-sharing club today", it says "Come on Hitler, let's go to the mall!"
I was not convinced by this poster. After some thought, I decided that any serious effort to promote carpooling should include a compelling and valuable perk. For instance, at this university people were always complaining about the shortage of parking spaces. If I were to be convinced to join a carpool, I would want a special carpool parking permit that would let my carpool park close to the main campus.
Some months later, I read an editorial in a local newspaper about how few of the university's students seemed to be pursuing a rigorous education. I submitted a letter, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, criticizing the rather unimpressive recognition given to our top students. I suggested that top-notch students taking demanding courses should be awarded a special "black" parking sticker that would entitle them to access to any parking lot on campus, including faculty/staff parking. I as surprised to see the letter published in the next issue.
