Target has the 26 ounce oggie shakers for 14.99 and if you want the 6 oz ones those are 9.99 at target.

Do any of these have the Woot! logo on them like in the photo?

We love a good deal, do you have an online link for this or is it an in store special?

What is with the measurements on the pitcher? 84.5 ounce capacity? Who in their right mind knows how big 84.5 ounces is?

Yes I could just use google to convert them, but would it really be asking too much to get some practical units of measure? Anything above 20oz should be measured in gallons and quarts (and even pints).

Also, "84.5 ounce capacity" is pretty darned ambiguous when it comes to something like a porcelain pitcher. Is this a volume capacity or a weight capacity? I suspect volume, but who knows. It's porcelain (which I don't think of as being quite as strong as your typical pyrex), maybe it only can carry 84.5 ounces of weight (5.28lbs) before breaking/cracking under load. Considering the fact the units don't specify "fluid ounces" I have to assume this is the case and you should not get this pitcher if you plan on putting more than 5.28lbs of anything in it.

And I know this might upset some "amurrrcans", but if the units were in metric, they would be completely unambiguous and trivially easy to convert between different sized units.

1 liter Beer steins and pilsner glasses! Eeeeeeehhh!

When did you get so needy woot?

Clearly, I am not in my right mind or I need to have the hook removed from my mouth for taking the bait on this one.

84.5 ounces in the description translates to "liquid ounces" to me. Not clear how this could be construed as anything other than a liquid measurement when used to describe a pitcher. CLEARLY YMMV.

84.5 ounces - to me, that immediately translates into 1/2 gallon + 20 oz. (And I can visualize how many glasses of lemonade or tea I can get out of that.)

8 oz = 1 cup, 2 cups = 1 pint (16 ozs.), 2 pints = 1 quart (32 ozs), 2 quarts = half a gallon (64 ozs). 20 oz. = more soda than is legal to sell in a NYC restaurant. (haha)

Conversely in you work in Imperial measurement its 1/2 gallon 4.5oz but oddly stil 4 pints 4.5 ozs

I severely want the Woot logo 5 piece set.

was ready to click the buy button. until I read "acrylic". Next time make a set in glass. or a glass beer stein/pint glasses with the logo would be fantastic.

Having woot logos on stuff when woot was woot was kitschy, but considering the monstrosity of run-of-the-mill ecommerce it's become, it's more of a detracting factor now. Kind of like serving your guests with Overstock.com silverware.

The red one they have on the Target website is not the same red one here, but it is the same size. Same goes for the green. Here are the links:

Red 26oz Shaker

Green 26 oz Shaker

They are both $14.99

Good catch! I assumed they were glass at that price.

anyone know if those Arcoroc Footed Pils glasses have etching in the bottom/a nucleation site? Y'know, for bubbles?

they were online but it seems the shiny ones you have are gone except for the smaller one. But today when I was in store they had the 26 oz you have for 10.98 at least in Brooklyn NY.

The density of water is pretty close to 1 in English units as well. IOW - 84.5 oz. of water weighs, pretty much, 84.5 oz. So even though it should be painfully obvious that an ounce measure of a pitcher would be liquid ounces, if you prefer to think of it as weight it really makes little difference.

Also, dividing by 32 isn't that hard.

Man I hope those woot glasses come back, I don't have the money for them right now but would really enjoy them :3

$48 for acrylic? That's about $8 per logo on an $8 bar set.
