Sure, it’s the future and we have technology that lets us talk to our homes, auto-park our cars, and put dog ears on our heads on Snapchat. But, sometimes, the mystery of past inventions is just way cooler. That’s definitely the case with the Storm Bottle!
Invented by Admiral Fitzroy in the 19th century, this storm bottle is filled with a clear liquid that changes to predict the weather. If the liquid goes murky, grab an umbrella. If there are threads of crystals, get ready for some serious wind. If there are crystals at the top, well, don’t go walking around with your trusty lightning conductor.
The threads of crystals we’re seeing in our Storm Bottle must mean that you’re blown away. And, we can’t blame you. This thing is awesome. So, for a working decoration that, like small-talk about the weather, will never get old, order your Storm Bottle now!
