Designer Xuan Yu's clever Rethink hanger isn't a product on its own--the question-mark-looking gewgaw requires you to recycle, that is, to screw two empty plastic drink bottles into it, and then it becomes a coat hanger.
Money-grubbing hotel chains should use these in place of their anti-theft hangers; having a bunch of these hanging in the closet would require you to drain those $6 bottles of water in the mini-bar.

Very clever idea!! until i read the 1st comment and went to the link of the original hanger......but still its defiantly a sexier version. So i guess they did "rethink" it a little. I all for it!!

what about the people who own more than one piece of clothing and have limited closet space?
Very nice, at least its designed it in way where people would actually want to use it, thats the point right.
And here in 2001...
