its only a scam if they are asking more than a dollar for them.
The polar bears are kinda cool though...

They're older than you Anna but not by much.....looks like someone etched the bears into the glass themselves.

Yep, They are fairly worthless bottles turned into a decorative piece by etching. What are they asking for them?

The bottles are old and original. They were recently acid etched or sandblasted with polar bears to emphasize the results of global warming though. If you look at the bases of the bottles they have dates (2006, 2036, 2066, 2100). As the dates rise, the number of polar bears on the bottles goes down which relates to global warming and the effects it has on population of polar bears.

my daugter asked me this question after she saw a commercial for a fund to help save the polar bears who are becomming extinct. where exactly does the money go and how does it help the polar bears from dying?
