The Starbucks Keychain Hack For A Last-Minute Shot Glass

As Starbucks' reusable tumblers continue to become more popular, the coffee chain keeps coming up with new ways to expand the line with new collections coming out each year for spring, summer, and fall, as well as cups for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Pride Month. An interesting feature of the Starbucks keychain tumblers that makes them more functional than one might assume on first glance is that their lids are not just for decoration, they are fully functional and screw off to reveal a few ounces of space inside the cups. That could potentially make the baubles — which are also marketed around the holidays as ornaments — usable for subtly carrying breath mints or medication or emergency hairpins with you at all times. 

However, one TikTok user had a more fun idea. TikTok influencer @CrownMeCutie tested the cup to see if it actually holds liquid and was delighted to find it does function as a cup, making the knick-knack an unusually portable, and very stylish, shot glass. While the need for a "shot keychain," as @CrownMeCutie dubs the collectible, may be limited on the go, the idea has since gone viral and there is no doubt it would make for a popular, fun conversation starter to pull out at parties. It could also function as a good, silly gift to go with a bottle of alcohol.
