We measured it out with an regular standard shot glass, exact same volume. :)

If you have a bunch of those li'l beauties made and then offer 'em up for sale on WIX, you're pretty much guaranteed a sellout! (as long as they're not scary expensive, I'd love to have one!)

Thanks for the good and.......er... interesting feedback. :twisted: We were looking into potentially making more of these. Would be great for this holiday season but don't think we'll have the time, what with the Corsair project and all. It's good looking, but when matched up next to a real HS Hub it doesn't look authentic enough. But that's just my perfectionist showing. Besides just going down to the Warriors & Warbirds show in Monroe NC, we also visited a Renaissance Fair in SC on Sunday. Little campy but otherwise enjoyable. Needless to say, souvenirs abound. One such souvenir was a drinking horn like this.

It reminded me of a college theme party I witnessed in my youth called a "No Cup Party"; where you had to bring an object to drink out of that wasn't an conventional glass, mug, etc. I told this to the old man, and I guess that got the ball rolling on this creation. :supz: Look to the near future for standard glass sizes.... maybe
