The Burton Vice Mitt Encourages Your Bad Habit and Keeps You Warm

The Burton Vice Mitt is one of the most ingenious (and ridiculous) inventions to come across this Trend Hunter’s desk in a long time. A mitten with a drink cozie attachment, as in, you can put your drink in it, whilst maintaining a fully covered hand.
According to the website, the Burton Vice Mitt is intended for energy drinks, but let’s be real here. We all know that this bad boy is meant to keep your hand warm and dry, while your beer stays cold and wet. Oh, and there is a stash pocket, to keep all your gold doubloons safe from the fuzz.
