(Sorry if already posted, couldn't find it in a search.)

This site shows a new Holographic bottle that is supposed to be a Disney patent.

I can see all their drinks in the parks with Fairies in them!

Oh god. My house is going to be filled with Tinker Bell hologram bottles.

This pretty cool.
Everyone is going to buy one if for nothing else, a collecters item.
Thanks for the info.

Sounds cool, but I can't really picture the illusion. I need to see some pics, if there are any actual bottles resembling this.

This is just patent info...there are no actual pictures out yet.

I would imagine that with this holographic special effect, it will actually look like tinkerbell is inside the bottle and moving around.

We'll have to wait and see to find out for sure.

TInk will look trapped like some child caught here and there evil plan is to make sure she is tortured.

Well let's not forget that Tinker Bell was not always a very nice person and that there are consequences for our actions. :lol:

While that is a funny thought, you wonder how magical children will feel if there are shelves containing trapped fairies, genies, what-have-you...

I wonder if the product is general market or parks only, and along those lines whether they are planning on putting, say, balloons or fireworks on the mirrored surface. It just seems to make more sense from a marketing standpoint.

I also am having a hard time picturing a hologram effect...because without the mirrored surface, this sounds similar to the designs on many hard-A bottles.

It seems to be more of a two level effect that a true hologram.

Tink (or whatever) is on the back of the bottle, printed on the mirrored surface. She apperars to be a bottle width away from the front of the bottle. There are other designs (the stars in the patent) printed on the BACK of the front label. When you look in the window, you will see them reflected on the back mirrored lable as well. However they will appear to be the distance of TWICE a bottle width away (BEHIND the image of Tink)

Because of the curved surfaces and the reflection of the stars vs. the head on viewing of tink, as you move the bottle (or your head) slightly, tink will appear to remain stationary (reletive to the back of the bottle) but the starfield will appear to to slew from side to side.

Thats the other thing.

This will only work with a clear, or very slightly tinted beverage.

No Tink in your coke, unless .... who remembers Crystal Pepsi. Oh no, lets not start that again. --- Mmmmmm Invisiable Cola

Even with three boys, I'm sure we'll "need" those in our carry-ons.
