Whether or not any of this history or legend is true, the boot challenge has become an integral part of the German drinking culture, as well as popular at many Oktoberfest festivals around the world.At Gadget Man Ireland we have a wide range of Novelty Gifts in store and online. The General decided to have a boot made by a local glassblower, and drank to their victory. Not wanting to go against his word after they were victorious, but also not wanting to drink from his soiled and unsanitary boot. That if they won the upcoming battle, he would drink from his boot. Not long after glass blowing made its popularity across Europe, a legend states that a war General made a bet with his soldiers. Therefore, we can only assume that the boot drinking became either more civilised, or as a challenge outside of initiation rituals. Medieval excavations have also found shoe-shaped pottery drinking vessels across Europe. Initiation rituals of drinking from a boot started with the earliest invention of leather boots, where new initiates would have to drink from the smelliest members boot. Unsurprisingly, the challenge started out remarkably like the Australian hazing ritual of drinking from a sweaty old boot. We did a little research on where this challenge originated!
