Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Hip Flask

Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Hip Flask

A humourous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1," with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. Features the Spudnik-1 mission patch superimposed on a background resembling spacecraft hull panels. I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know it it is somewhere in flyover territory, but can not place it any better - "Isn't that somewhere near Nebraska?" Mostly, people just think it is a backward place. Not true! Idaho has a space program and placed a satellite in orbit. The scientists and engineers at the Idaho Space Authority dubbed it the Idaho Geosynchronous Agriculture and Forest Fire Observation Tuber, or IGAFFOT for short. IGAFFOT does not exactly roll off the tongue so the governor sponsored a satellite naming contest among the state's elementary school students. There were a number of suggestion including Tater Tot, but almost 99 percent of the students suggested Spudnik; and so it was. During a television interview the director of the Idaho Space Authority explained that potatoes make wonderful observation platforms as they can be mass-produced locally and generally have several eyes. In addition, when the orbit decays the tuber is re-entry baked by friction with the atmosphere. All you need if you find one of these satellites after it comes down is butter, salt and pepper; with maybe a bit of sour cream.

Arrived fairly fast considering the current delays. I am very happy with my personalized purchase. The printing looks so cool I was a bit worried at first thinking it would be raised but it is exactly what I wanted.

Well made flask, a little better than I had expected. Flask came in clear plastic box which gave it a nice presentation when I took it out of the zazzle packaging. Image is not printed on flask but on sticker. Don't know how this will hold up I haven't used it yet. This would make a Great gift! I plan to purchase more for friends! Cheers. I thought a little brighter than computer. Very crisp, writing wasn't really Black Black. It might have been the font though, her leopard dolman sleeve top has black and it was perfect.

This flask is my favorite Zazzle order this Christmas. It turned out beautifully and looks like real vintage snake oil. The printed is perfect. The design is centered exactly on the flask the way it should be and it's very vibrant.
