Would you drink a smoothie out of a lightbulb? We're not sure who came up with this concept but this bright idea is taking social media by storm.
Lightbulb drinks are popping up everywhere, from boba tea shops in California and Asian night markets to dessert bars in New York City and even smoothie spots in Australia.
Are Lightbulb Drinks Safe?
Although it is clearly a marketing technique, it is hard to the deny the appeal of a beverage served in a lightbulb glass. The colour comes through beautifully, the curved shaped of the glass is enticing and the addition of a straw makes it pop.
If you want to make these at home don't go using just any lightbulb as a beverage holder. The lightbulb drinks featured here are served in special food-grade glassware shaped like a lightbulb. They are available for purchase here.
