This could be useful at baseball games. It's the
Beerbelly, "a removable spare tire that serves a stealth beverage." Basically it's a bladder that you fill with your drink of choice and strap around your belly, thereby (when worn beneath a shirt) camouflaging it as a beer gut. (Thanks to Emily for the link)
The beer bladder would definitely be more fun to wear than the
empathy belly, which is a "a multi-component, weighted 'garment' that will -- through medically accurate simulation -- enable men, women, teenage girls and boys to experience over 20 symptoms and effects of pregnancy." (I thought I had linked to the empathy belly before, but it didn't come up on a search of the site.)
And while you're at it, you might as well strap on a
whizzinator prosthetic penis as well. To complete the theme, I would post a link to an artificial lactating breast, like the one featured in
Meet The Fockers, but I don't think any company actually makes such a thing.

Just pay the five bucks at the game or drink before you arrive.
I've seen them mostly used for adoptive mothers. A very thin tube is taped to the breast, at the nipple, so the child suckles exactly the way it would if it were actually nursing from a milk-filled breast. The tube is attached to a bag of milk that is set somewhere so that the milk can empty. The suckling action will eventually produce actual lactation in a woman who was not pregnant.
Sadly, this item isn't solely designed to thwart the high concession prices at a pro sports arena. I imagine it is also being used to sneak alcoholic beverages into high school sporting events or other places beer isn't supposed to go.
But it is a decent novelty item, I'll give it that.
