We got a pint glass and a brandy snifter. But that was 1984, and it was a religious school, and we were expected to fill them with candy mints, or something. Never really did figure out what that place was about.

I kept my date's garter in the snifter, and the paint wore off the pint glass so I'm not even sure if I still have it. Must suck to go to school these days.

We got martini glass candles, or something completely lame like that. If I didn't throw it immediately it was definitely lost when I moved to college.

Woo hoo first condoms then shot glasses... This will end well.

because they were too young to get a jigger with it.

 
theknuckler_33 2009-05-09 10:23:18 PM  
We got big 'ol ceramic beer steins... but that was '85. I'm sure it had nothing to do with my subsequent and severe drinking and drug problem.

We got martini glasses and nobody cares.

This wasn't very long ago.

I got a brandy snifter. That was in 99.

we got sparkle-and-wax filled Champagne glasses. Oh, I think they were candles, yeah.

Got a martini glass in 2005.

 
RhineStoneTaco 2009-05-09 10:30:55 PM  
Now that I think about it, I dropped and broke that martini glass last night. Bah.

Pewter beer steins engraved with our names and the school crest. With glass bottoms for making eye contact while chugging.

I have a beer stein with my 425 classmates name on it from 2004.

Call em candle holders. We got Champagne glasses. High school kids don't drink with glasses anyway, plastic keg cups all the way.

Oh and 2nd the Fu*k MADD

There was a huge fuss over the party favors at my high school prom as well - beer glasses for the guys and wine glasses for the girls. So not only were they blatantly sexist by segregating the glass type by gender, but they pretty well upset every parent who found out about it.

But I guess that is what happens when you allow a group of popular redneck teenage whores of the graduating class to plan a party... the results are always classy.

I didnt go to my prom, but we did get 16 oz Gold Rimed Coffee mugs with the School Logo on it and the year (1987) I think at the time I used it to hold pens and eventually it got lost in a move

I don't think I got shiat, and I certainly didn't get laid.. but I drank too much since then to remember very clearly.

Also, Lancaster is not 65 miles east of Philadelphia.

They're just shot glasses... What's the worst that could happen?

Broken glass. Really.

I love how this is "wrong" but many an after prom party will set up fake casinos and encourage students to gamble.

 
ravenlore [TotalFark] 2009-05-09 10:40:55 PM  
we got flutes for Prom and steins for graduation...a while back.

/quite a while

O_face-- I was almost 22 when I went to my ex's prom. They had a casino set up and being that I had been going to the real casino for just about a year, I had fun kicking the asses of all the highschoolers on the table games.

I had an N-64 and we only had 6 games for it. One of them was some casino game. I was young, but very well versed in all the games. Stay the hell away from roulette. The poker tables were always full of assholes. I stayed with black jack and made a killing.

O_Face-- that night I quickly went from the "cool older guy that might buy us all beer" to the "who the fu*k brought this guy" guy. Haha.

We got shot glasses at my prom too. Nobody gave a damn though. Mine was never used and is long gone now.

Man, that brings back memories. Jessica McClintock was what I envisioned as the pinnacle of haute couture.

They did that at my grad party. It was "fake" only in the sense that we weren't allowed to use the US Dollar to play. Otherwise, the tables and dealers were the real deal donated for the night by one of the local casinos.

My cousin's class (I was a freshman) got beer steins too. Nobody batted an eye at it. I thought they were rather cool. My grandparents had the big decorative kind in the house.

/everyone was already drinking anyway...
//except me. (not my thing)

 
cuzsis 2009-05-09 11:43:59 PM  
I should mention this was '98.

Our graduating class last year designed their class hoodies to look like Jack Daniels labels. The fundies in charge of the school board and student council (missed) allowed it.

I used to attend school on a dry campus (college) and they sold 'toothpick holders' (shot glasses) and 'laundry tubs' (the big metal tubs to put your keg in) in the university store.

/Got wine glasses from my sr prom. Never used it.

 
gadian [TotalFark] 2009-05-09 11:51:23 PM  
We had those. They were "candle holders".

 
Solty Dog 2009-05-09 11:52:19 PM  
Just call them toothpick holders. Problem solved.

 
Poz 2009-05-10 12:14:47 AM  
I was an activity director for a High School.. and thus put in charge of ordering the prom stuff. What I always found amusing was the ability to turn any beverage container into "candles" by adding 25 cents per order to the purchase... the company fills the pint glass, shot glass, beer stein, yard, or whatever with wax and a wick. Ta-da... they are all just candles.

Of course I didn't do this is the Lancaster County, the land of the Amish... so we might not have been as conservative as this demographic.

 
ShawnDoc [TotalFark] 2009-05-10 12:15:34 AM  
Disney sells shot glasses, but calls them pencil holders. Really funny.

1987. Wine glasses with gold etching on them. Mine sat on the top of my kitchen cabinets until it got covered with grease and soot... when I finally washed it, the gold came off. I was crushed.

I got one way back in 1978. And I collect shot glasses as souveniers, even though I don't drink. I can understand why some would be upset, but IMHO it's not that big a deal.

 
lukepatrick 2009-05-10 12:33:20 AM  
they're candle holders, not shot glasses..
