It takes a special kind of narcissist to deem even the most mundane of activities worthy of a selfie, and now, Coca-Cola wants to encourage that kind of behavior by way of its new selfie bottle. Because the selfie stick wasn’t an egregious enough invention. Meet the Coca-Cola selfie bottle, which is, as you might’ve guessed, a bottle of Coke that takes your selfie. Welcome to the 21st century.

Selfie-Taking Soda Bottles – This Coca-Cola Bottle Captures the Special Moment of Sipping Coke… https://t.co/BlD04DAJIj pic.twitter.com/7NQZHm0DB1

Created by Tel Aviv creative agency Gefen Team, these bottles have a plastic camera attached to the bottom that automatically snaps a photo whenever it’s tilted at a 70-degree angle (approximately the angle at which you need to hold the bottle to take a swig). The resulting photos are automatically uploaded to the beverage company’s Israeli Facebook page and Instagram account, as well as your own Snapchat, so drink with caution. You don’t want to accidentally share more than you intended.

While the bottles were intended to be released over the summer, it looks as though their debut was delayed until quite recently. So rather than snapping selfies of yourself enjoying a Coke at the beach, you’re more likely attempting to keep your beverage from freezing as you bundle up and prepare for the impending winter.

Social media has certainly become an increasingly integral component to brand marketing, but the introduction of hardware into well known products is still a relatively new pursuit. It’s not altogether novel, though, as the Daily Dot pointed out — last year, Cinnamon Toast Crunch had a similar selfie campaign with its free “Selfie Spoons,” which were really just selfie sticks with spoons attached to one end, allowing breakfasters to snap a photo of themselves while enjoying a bowl of cereal.

So if you start seeing photos of folks drinking Coke at strange angles, you’ll know who (or rather, what) to blame.

The Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card on a white background.

Your new purchase from camera deals will need storage for photos and videos, but you can't buy just any SD card that you see online. It's highly recommended that you invest in a high-quality storage device like the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card, which you can currently get from B&H Photo Video with a $75 discount on its 128GB version that brings its price down from $170 originally to a more affordable $95. You may want to buy multiples of this SD card while it's available for less than $100, but you'll have to hurry because we're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain.

Why you should buy the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card
More devices are using microSD cards for expanded storage, but according to our guide on finding the right memory card for your digital camera, most DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras are still using SD cards like the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card.
