I want to get these just for the reaction only. I can't wait to see the reaction on my friends' faces the first time I take off my shoe, place it on top of my beer and pop off the cap. If you like to be the center of attention like I do, and happen to have an affinity towards alcohol, these are the sandals for you.

Cool, but... there\'s something very unsanitary about this...

I think Boing Boing\'s Cory Doctorow puts it perfectly: \"Great idea, provided you haven\'t been walking in dog crap or anything else you wouldn\'t want smeared on the lip of the bottle you\'re about to drink from.\"

I\'ve actually had these for like a year, and they\'re absolutely awesome. I mean, who doesn\'t think that Fanning sandals are a cool idea. One word of advice - take the damn things off before opening the beer. You WILL make the damn thing spill.

Oh god.... I love these... With all our new homeland security I haven\'t been able to travel with my Swiss Army knife. These would be perfect! Until the DHS finds out a way you can kill someone with them... Drat. Do they come in girl pink???

Alright, I\'ll admit it. I like twist off beer caps. And also, plastic wine corks. They don\'t need to be screw caps (although they *are* the best), but this stuff all strikes me as anachronistic.

Plastic screw caps are actually the wave of the future for wine, and not like Dippin\' Dots. We\'ll be seeing some big changes there, look out!

I love it how the Beer-Opening Mandal story has swiftly risen to the top of the page...

It shows that the mind of those of us in the hive is fantastic, right?
