When I was in college, it was considered tres cool to use laboratory beakers as cups and mugs. Actually, they do work well, they're impervious to heat, easy to clean, and when you see green things growing inside them, you know it's time to dump them out. But never take a beaker full of cola into the darkroom with you! :-) For many, the Pepsi challenge is being able to differentiate between fixer and Pepsi in the milliseconds before the mixtures hits the back of your throat.
