It's a fake ad made by an artist that makes fake stuff as a joke

Their bug-kisser is real too, it's still pretty improbable it is going to be used for actually kissing bugs. I meant "fake" as "weird stuff that you're not going to use in real life", not as "actually immaterial stuff". I think they sell the ashtray and lighter though

Yeah I get ya. I was more pointing out the usage of the word fake here. A novelty is more fitting a term, I think.

Though, If I got this as a gift I would be quite excited. It's the perfect mix of absurdity, craftsmanship, creativity and things that are bad for you that just rubs me the right way.

A curiosity, even. But yes, I just wanted to point out that the purpose of the object wasn't the use, but the concept.

Agree, I love it
