Right Up the Nostril: The World’s Weirdest Pencil Sharpener

What happens when someone looks at a perfectly normal pencil sharpener and thinks, “You know what this needs? A nose.”

Well… apparently, you get a nose pencil sharpener. 👃✏️

And yes—the pencil goes right up the nostril.

Welcome to Liquid Courage & Curiosities, where we take weird objects, questionable inventions, and curious little treasures and give them the attention they absolutely did not ask for.

This episode’s star is a wonderfully ridiculous novelty pencil sharpener shaped like a human nose. Is it useful? Technically. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Is it hilarious? Oh, absolutely.

We’re putting this bizarre desk accessory through our Weird Scale to determine whether it’s clever, cursed, comedy gold, or simply proof that somebody somewhere had a very creative afternoon.

And naturally, we needed a drink.

🥒🍸 Pickle Me This is our salty, tangy pickle-juice cocktail created specifically for this questionable occasion. Because apparently, once we're sharpening pencils through nostrils, we might as well put pickle juice in a glass.

It sounds weird.

It IS weird.

But… it actually works.

Cocktail 🍸

• 1½ oz vodka
• 1 oz pickle juice
• ½ oz lime juice
• 2 oz soda water
• Dash of hot sauce, optional
• Tajín or pickle salt rim, optional
• Pickle spear for garnish

Mocktail 🍹

• 1½ oz pickle juice
• ½ oz lime juice
• 3 oz soda water
• Dash of hot sauce, optional
• Tajín or pickle salt rim, optional
• Pickle spear for garnish

Not a pickle person? That's okay. Neither the pickle nor the nose sharpener will take it personally.

Probably.

So grab your drink, sharpen your curiosity, and join me for an object that proves one very important thing:

Just because you CAN put a pencil in a nose… doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD.

But we're glad somebody did. 😂

Have you discovered a weird, ridiculous, or wonderfully unnecessary object that deserves its own episode?
