New Year's glasses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Year's glasses are novelty eyeglasses in the numerical shape of the coming year usually worn during New Year's Eve parties.[1] They were invented and patented[2] by Richard Sclafani and Peter Cicero in 1992, although other companies have produced similar versions.[3] New Year's glasses' inspiration and popularity arose from the fact that the two digits in the middle of the year number (9 and 0 from the years 1990–2009) had holes suitable for looking through or mounting lenses into.[4]
