Would You Have Bought This?

I bought this lucite ice bucket at the estate sale I went to on Saturday.  It has fake faux ice cubes on the lid, serving as the handle and an inner container to remove to fill with more ice.

Personally, I really like it -- it's cool in a kitschy way (and I'm all about kitsch)!  My niece didn't think much of it and neither did my 25 year old son -- they both thought it reminded them of this (see below) alien triangle thing from the old 1980s tv show, Out of This World.  
What do you think -- kitschy cool or alien junk?   Would you have bought it? 

Here's a link to 'Would You Buy it Wednesday' over at Junkernewbie's blog, so you can let us all know what you think -- you might even have a WYBIW item of your own!

    I probably wouldn't have bought it, but thanks for taking me back to the 80's. I remember the TV show, Out of this world!

    I wouldn't have bought because I don't need an ice bucket, but it is definitely cool!

    I would not have bought it because I would not know what to do with it. But it definitely is kitschy.

    Might be kind of cool for a New Year's Eve party!
