I-86 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design boldly declares the non-existence of a specific type of road sign: an I-86 metric sign in Pennsylvania. It's a playful nod to a hypothetical and never-realized scenario.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design prominently features the classic Interstate shield, instantly recognizable with its red, white, and blue colors and the bold white numeral "86" signifying the highway's designation. This iconic symbol represents the Interstate system and, specifically in this context, the intended route of I-86.

The "PA" abbreviation, clearly displayed, specifies the intended location within Pennsylvania, anchoring the concept geographically. The "Metric" designation, in this case, serves as a whimsical contrast. It playfully highlights the historical absence of metric signage on U.S. Interstates, particularly in Pennsylvania.

Symbolism & Meaning

The design symbolizes the adherence to the long-standing tradition of using imperial units (miles) for road signage in the United States, as opposed to the metric system (kilometers). It represents the historical failure of the U.S. to fully embrace metrication on its Interstate systems.

The playful juxtaposition of the standard Interstate shield with the unusual (for the U.S.) "Metric" element creates a visual contradiction. This contradiction is humorous, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of the concept represented.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

Theyโ€™re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours โ€” less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning โ€” place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
