Intoxicating Kites

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The World's Best Ever Created a Witty Product Called HIGH Kite

— June 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
The creatives behind The World's Best Ever took the old saying "high as a kite" literally when they created this new product. The company created a cleverly designed Kite called 'HIGH Kite.' It is minimally designed, but sure makes a bold impression.

The kite is black and white kite and is hand-stitched by Miami-based kite-maker Dan Ward. It not only promotes intoxication and being under the influence through its bold stitching that reads "HIGH," it does so through its casing. Its carrying case serves as a dual-purpose item: it carries the kite and it doubles as a fully functioning bong.

Dave Wilfert of The World's Best Ever says he came about the idea when he was high on a beach in Barbados watching people flying kites.
