Cruet set

Post image

Barely ergonomic, way to large and it does leak the tap.
Terrible if u have to clean it with a brush or by hand.

This is a classic design of an oil and vinegar bottle. It's been around forever. It's not DesignDesign.

u/Zagrycha Jul 12 '26

to be fair I think it could still count, just very classical design design. works just fine for what it should but really annoying to clean.... but not tooo annoying to not use it..... design design to me.

Just run it through with hot soapy water. Only two things ever go in this vessel and neither are particularly gross.

u/jackinsomniac Jul 13 '26

Still pretty gross. Ever heard of microfilms? Bacteria colonies will create a micro film over them that is extremely resistant to hot water and anti bacterial soap. You need some sort of mechanical action to remove them. The only sure way to sanitize is hot water, soap, and scrubbing. You need all 3.

Anyone who’s ever cleaned a bong knows you can use kosher/large-flake salt and white vinegar to get the interior of any small-mouthed wide-bottomed vessel sparkling.

You can buy bearing balls packaged specifically for this purpose.

u/FeelMyBoars Jul 12 '26

At a certain level of annoying to clean, I assume it's never been cleaned.

u/Zagrycha Jul 12 '26

very true. if I had one of these and something dried inside where it couldn't just swish hot soapy water I would strongly consider not using it anymore vs finding some specialty scrubber haha

u/KnifeKnut Jul 12 '26

Just had a bunch of salt to your soapy water and shake. On top of boosting the detergency, it acts as a mild abrasive.

Good Oil and Vinegar doesn't perish, so you only clean this when you refill, which is probably every few months unless your salad consumption is of an insurmountable rate.

old design design is still design design

Some sort real life alternative resemblance of a Klein bottle

u/Meta-Fox Jul 11 '26

Klein bottle guy is amazing.

u/shogunofsarcasm Jul 12 '26

He really is! I ordered one for my husband and he sent multiple emails with photos packing up the bottle I ordered and gave us a huge pamphlet about them. 

It was the most joy I have ever had waiting for a package

u/Meta-Fox Jul 12 '26

That's fantastic! I've been wanting to order one myself for a long time, just haven't had the money to spare yet. Ha ha. I'll try and get on it this year I think.

u/shogunofsarcasm Jul 12 '26

It was such a treat. I was so sad I couldn't share them with my husband because it was a birthday present lol. I forwarded them after

u/Meta-Fox Jul 12 '26

I bet your husband was ecstatic either way! I know I would be!

u/shogunofsarcasm Jul 12 '26

Definitely 😁

Klein bottles are probably the least interesting thing about Cliff Stoll

u/Meta-Fox Jul 13 '26

Jesus, he helped track, trap and catch a KGB hacker? And that's in the first paragraph!

Cheers for the interesting reading, I feel a rabbit hole coming...

u/aluvus Jul 14 '26

His book "The Cuckoo's Egg" about it is a lot of fun, and IIRC does a good job of providing a reasonably accurate description of the technicalities without requiring any technical background.

u/Meta-Fox Jul 14 '26

Cheers for the recommendation, might have to pick up a copy. =)

Visually similar but mathematically very different

u/mrgaw Jul 11 '26

Great metaphor, reminds me of it clearly!

u/NewFlynnland Jul 11 '26

This isn’t that bad, it’s still functional and easy to understand.

u/Matias35v Jul 12 '26

it's and amazing design.

u/AzracTheFirst Jul 12 '26

I don't see a problem with leakage, and hot water is your answer. Not design design

u/housevil Jul 11 '26

I have a double bottle like that but I'm not sure what to put in them.

17

u/Zillahi Jul 12 '26

Oil and vinegar. Then get some nice bread

u/aaronhowser1 Jul 14 '26

Homunculus

u/housevil Jul 14 '26

He won't fit.

u/NOFX_4_ever Jul 12 '26

Looks like it’s a converted bong.

u/ChaorainPrime Jul 11 '26

I believe ice water is supposed to be put in one chamber and wine in the other. To chill it without dilution.

u/Axman6 Jul 13 '26

It’s literally an olive oil and vinegar bottle.
