It's a twist on the classic giant swan, "redesigned for more elegance, and the addition of TWO drink holders," which is perfect, as it's big enough to seat two people, for those moments you and bae want some alone time to frolic on a plastic swan. Side note – if you're underage and going to pose with a red party cup like the girl above did, don't post it online. Her parents are definitely going to see that.
