I'm still trying to figure out why the seller thought it had anything to do with absinthe....maybe they thought it would make a neat-o fountain!

maybe they thought some idjit would buy anything at all that had the word absinthe in it.

The Martini fan looks really neat. It is probably rare, but to stick the word Abisinthe in the header of the add is just pure marketing. At least there is no mention of it in the body of the description. stupid frog.
