Now, i don't watch horror movies personally, but here's an idea: the bottle of alcohol from the end of The Thing. Originating from the theory that Childs is really, well, The Thing, and the bottle is actually full of gasoline. The guy who gives him the bottle was seen throwing around Molotov cocktails multiple times, and as the Thing has no reference for taste, wouldn't recoil at drinking gasoline. Additionally, when Childs drinks, there's a musical cue that throughout the film is associated with the Thing that appears in the ending scene. The guy gives him the bottle since neither of them knows who the Thing has taken over, and they have a drink as they await their mutual destruction due to being exposed to the freezing cold. The theory goes that he gives his companion the bottle as a test, and seeing as how he doesn't react, knows the other guy is reality the Thing.

Sorry if my wording or order of points sound strange, just wanted to jot this idea down for discussion. What would the artifact do? Make drinkers the Thing? Is there a more fitting object?
