Have you had to settle for cornhole bags with ironed on logos or just gotten colors that closely resemble your team? Well now you have an easy way to step up your game. HandSewnByNana is using etsy.com to sell quality cornhole bags with your college’s logo stitched directly on the bag. Each bag is made with heavy duty duck canvas, measures 6×6, is double stitched, filled with clean and treated whole corn, and meets all regulations for tournament play. You get eight bags for around $35 plus shipping. You can play it safe and get standard logos on your bag like West Virginia or Notre Dame, but what fun would that be? If you’re going to get hand embroidered bags, you should get something classy like The Shocker in Ohio State scarlet and gray. (full catalog)
I thought the boom cooler was impractical and expensive, and the beer pong flash cards were impossibly lame. But this product sets a gold standard for suckitude. I’ll show you three pictures from the site and see if you can figure out what it is.
Okay. Your time is up. Did you think it was a fantasy football trophy? Cause it’s not. The main product is called The Tailgater. Any ideas yet? Well, it’s billed as a “personal portable urinal for tailgaters” that also helps provide “a sanitary tailgating experience”. The top half of the football removes to provide a bowl shaped catcher, which funnels everything down into the base. The other two pictures? But of course, that’s a “privacy poncho” so you can use the bathroom discreetly in the middle of your tailgate, and that other lovely device is the “female attachment”. I know it’s a small photo so you may not be able to tell that it’s “anatomically designed to conform to the female body for comfort and convenience”.
They tried to give it a fancy design and name like The Tailgater but at the end of the day it’s a jar of urine with a funnel. The website doesn’t offer many details, so I’m assuming you’re supposed to take this home with you in the car and pour it out in the toilet or something. I don’t really want to think about it, but this seems like a horrific and smelly problem on somebody’s hands. So what would you expect to pay for this stylish alternative to a plastic gallon jug? $74.95 . I saw this product advertised in the Tailgater Monthly magazine and they also sent me an email asking me to discuss it. So I’m left to assume that this can’t possibly be a clever ruse. If you’re tired of waiting in lines for public bathrooms, have plenty of money, and like taking a hands on approach to waste removal, this is surely the tailgating product for you.
TavernToys.com sent me over a BrewTender to check out. This is a chilled, easy to pour, and fun alternative to a beer pitcher. The Brewtender has three basic parts, the 80oz pitcher, an inner chamber of ice, and the stand. The ice chamber twist locks into the pitcher, and the pitcher easily twist locks on to the base. Having separate parts allows you more maneuverability while filling everything up.
From my experience, if you pour a cool liquid in and fill the center up with ice, it’ll keep cold for at least two hours. Which means that the Brewtender will get the job done better than your standard pitcher for beer pong, flip cup, and other drinking games. I’d mainly recommend this product for use with keg beer at home. Possible uses for tailgating would be a punch or a non-alcoholic drink that you’re not going to fill multiple times. Additional features are the lazy susan base that allows you to spin the tap around so everyone at the table can use it. Located underneath the ice chamber is a light that shines up through the liquid that is powered by four D batteries. It provides an irresistible glow to beer and would look great in a dimly lit situation.
In my younger days I was no stranger to wearing Hypercolor t-shirts, Reebok Pumps, and of course a slap bracelet. We all did. Then some kid in NY cut himself with one and ruined the fun for everybody else. Now I can keep my tailgating drink cold with a koozie that utilizes the same concept. KoozieSlap.com sent me a couple of their slap bracelet style koozies. Besides the obvious nostalgia and novelty, these koozies are quite functional. Unlike other koozies I was able to successfully use the same slap koozie on a can, bottle, glass, and solo cup. You can order these bad boys for $5 in a generic design or for North Carolina, Duke, Florida, Penn State, East Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech. Check out the slap koozie in action…
