Two-Thousand Zero-Zero Party, Uh . . .

I don’t know that they’ll be missed actually and, to tell the truth, I hadn’t really considered the consequences:

The men who invented the goofy looking, double-zero glasses that have commemorated every New Year’s Eve over the past decade are retiring the specs with the 2009 version.

“It doesn’t look very good for 2010. You wind up with a ‘1’ in front of one of your eyes,” said maker Richard Sclafani.

The Brooklyn native, who lives in Seattle, said his company could create a new mold to craft glasses for next year, but it would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

“There are lots of knockoffs on the market. Business isn’t what it used to be,” Sclafani said.

Sclafani and a pal, Peter Cicero, came up with the New Year’s specs idea over beers in 1990.

“We knew it was a good one. I could picture the people in Times Square wearing them,” he said.

Business boomed, and doubled every year, said Sclafani. The peak year was 2000, when they sold more than half a million pairs of millennium glasses.
