Fortunately, you can make your own fake bell jars relatively simply with soda bottles. Seeing Things has the instructions you need to do it.

I don't know about you guys, but I simply love a good bagel with cream cheese. They even make a great to-go snack when you sandwich them together.

You can get a hold of them at Batntam Bagels in New York, but, if you're not in New York, you'll have to stick with bagel sandwiches for the time being.
