Beer Mats

So, I saw this segment on a show lastnight about a Scottish mechanical engineer. Him and a buddy of his had noticed how hard it was to flip a beer mat up and catch it in mid-air, so they decided to design a more 'flip friendly' beer mat. Now, how many of you in the UK actually flip beer mats? And how many of you have seen this new beer mat....with the clear plastic 'wings' on the sides?

/edit: for those who have absolutly no idea as to what I'm on about....

Re: Beer Mats

Before anyone says 'HEY HEY WAS WASTING MONEY' it was sponsored by (if memory serves) Boddingtons, so it wasn't exactly useful money anyway.

Re: Beer Mats

Flipping beer mats wastes drinking time.
