Plastic babies are so hot right now.
American Sniper's plastic baby stole the show, and now synthetic infants are hitting the streets. Well, they will if this Kickstarter for a plastic baby you can drink out of meets its goal.

The Cool Baby features a removable drink container and straw to tuck into the baby's insulated torso and a Baby Björn-like contraption so you can strap your plastic baby to your chest, leaving your hands free to take selfies with your bundle of PVC.
The comedian and copywriter behind the project, Simon Phillon, hopes that The Cool Baby will give child-free people the satisfaction and social prestige of accessorizing with a baby without actually dealing with the responsibility of caring for a human life.
Unfortunately, this the Cool Baby will only be available in a caucasian model for now. Apparently, racial diversity in plastic babies is too much to hope for. However, if you donate $8,000 dollars to the campaign, you can get 10 custom babies designed to look just like you.
The project is still very short of its $70,000 dollar goal with just over $9,000 and 7 days left, but fans of drinking in public could still pull through.
