Okay; you see the connection: both are circular and they're approximately the same size.
The first makes a God-awful racket in your CD player, and while attractively shiny, doesn't absorb beer sweat worth sh*t.😡

The second restores blessed silence to your CD player (possibly permanently), and absorbs beer sweat like nobody's business. 👍

Which do you prefer on your coffee table? 🤔

Cute but i actually like The Mars Volta. Quirky and an acquired taste for sure, however i have used CDs (old ones that are damaged or crappy music but beautiful art design) as coasters for years.

I've never needed a beer mat. 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I like both, but a beer mat is arguably more pleasant to listen to.

Indeed! With the Mars Volta CD, I like the sound it makes when it stops.... 👍

I sharpen the edges of all my CDs to use as personal thrown defense weapons. Let's see you try that with a beer mat.

As for which circular object I prefer most, it would be an onion ring, hands down.
