Bungie's Master Chief bottle opener

How does a battle-hardened Spartan soldier kick back and relax after fragging Covenant all day? With a crisp, cool, refreshing New Mombasa Ale. And how does s/he open it? No, not with their teeth, but with their authentic Bungie.net Spartan keychain! Sure, it looks like a regular keychain with a Spartan helmet on it, but our in-house beer-ologist (me) has confirmed the dimensions are indeed correct for maximum beer-opening functionality.
Other Bungie Store updates include a Halo cup (to pour your beer in), and a Spartan Messenger Bag (to carry your plasma grenades in...and also beer).
*Kids, please replace all references to beer with root beer. Thanks!

Just wanted to add Frankie's commentary on this item:
"Rumors that this Master Chief themed keychain just also happens to be the exact correct dimensions to open a beer bottle are just that, rumor mongering! These were designed with one thing and one thing only in mind. Stable keychain functionality!"

That messenger bag actually looks pretty awesome. Not specifically because it's Halo branded though...just looks like a great bag.

Make sure you don't shake your 'beverage' first... last thing we want is a flood.

I bought the Halo Beerstien and while back and let me tell you, that is one heck of a stein. I think it holds about 4 bottles of beer. Now I need to get this keychain to open those 4 bottles of beer.

That keychain is so damned cool and beermonsterfriendly it may outwiegh all the "nerd" comments I'll get for it.

You can actually get the same bag for $10 cheaper here (without the Halo branding):

However, you have to like red accents because the better looking colors (black, for instance) is out of stock.

You mean, the last thing we want is "the flood" from the game.

The cheapest shipping option for this 1 oz. keychain is $8.73. Ridiculous.

I'm glad to finally see stuff like this start popping up for games oh...I dunno,MADE AFTER 1999. I'm so SICK of the Nintendo/Pacman/"Retro" type of stuff like this. Where are my Max Payne tshirts? Where are my DOA and Soul Calibur sneakers?
