"Somewhere someone at Atari looked at the CX-10 joystick from the company's famous 2600 game console and went, that would make a killer decanter. And no, this isn't AI, it's hundred percent real... In fact, if you're a gamer in your late 40s (and beyond) and mildly irresponsible with money, please turn away immediately. The Atari Decanter is iconic, classy, and appeals to a unique niche of people - those who appreciate the finer things in life, but remember their roots."
"The decanter itself is modeled on the CX-10 joystick, which came with the console. The console would let you plug a cassette into the front, while the joystick would be attached to the side via cable. That familiar input device which gathered hours of blood sweat and tears now sits and aerates your fine whiskeys and scotches. The joystick-shaped decanter measures 19 cm (7.5 inches) tall and has a 750 ml capacity (or about 25 ounces)."
Atari’s CX-10 joystick has been reimagined as a glass decanter that stands 19 cm (7.5 inches) tall and holds 750 ml (about 25 ounces). The design includes a broad base, slender neck, glass stopper, and a molded side button topped with red ink. Each set includes two 300 ml glasses printed with the Atari logo in white and a display tray that shows the CX-10 production date (1977–1978). The decanter references the Atari 2600 era and appeals to late-40s-plus gamers and collectors. The set is priced at $125 USD.
