Yo-Ho Brewing, the Japanese company behind the craft beer brand Yona Yona Ale, developed an unusual beer glass called the "Furatsuku Beer Glass", also known as the "Wobbly Beer Glass". The U-shaped vessel is designed to hold beer in one side.
A review of the glass said the drinking session "didn't go quite as planned" and "humbled" the writers, with the headline describing a glass that forces you to drink water.
