The only clothes hanger that will make you have to go to the bathroom

By Rain Noe - January 22, 2010

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!!

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
