Weird Merchandise: Inspiral Carpets milk bottle

Inspiral_milk The first in what's sure to be a long-running series of Weird Merchandise is a classic from 1990 - the Inspiral Carpets milk bottle.

In 1990, the Inspiral Carpets had the world at their feet. A new album destined for the top of the charts, a t-shirt empire that probably brought in more cash than their records and a range of silly haircuts copied by students throughout the land.

To give their album an extra push, they released some branded milk bottles, which arrived in time to give the album sales a healthy nudge. With a play on the "cool as f**k" logo, it read "cool as milk", featuring a cow in shades, album details and an image of the band on the rear.

I had loads of them, but gave all but one away over the years. These days they change hands for around £10-£15.
