PHONE ME

This phone's for you. It looks like a beer can, but it can reach out and touch via calls, not suds. It's the new Budweiser telephone, featuring a mute key, automatic last-number redial and push-button dialing. The dialing numbers are on the bottom of the can. You speak and listen through perforations on the side. The phone, available at the Anheuser-Busch brewery gift shop, 775 Gellhorn at Interstate 10, is $29.95.
