A Koozie for Your Keg

At home there’s a certain amount of comfort to placing a keg in a tub and filling it up with ice. The tradition of it just makes a party more fun. Unfortunately that tub becomes quite the pain when tailgating. If you have any distance to cover, hauling a tub, 6-8 bags of ice, and a keg requires a herculean effort. Luckily, Keg Works has created a koozie for your keg. Now for the brilliant part, the koozie is actually just a neoprene jacket that holds an ice blanket in place. The ice blanket is supposed to keep the keg at the same temperature for 3-4 hours and you can also purchase additional blankets. The koozie costs $110 and an additional blanket is $32.50. So if you figure you spend about $10 on ice each time you get a keg, this thing would pay for itself after 15 drunken tailgates. So unless you have wheels on your kegerator, this isn’t a bad option for the adventurous kegger.

Collegiate Snuggies are Coming and they are Hideous

Oh the horror. So they finally get around to releasing Snuggies with college logos on them, which theoretically should be a huge success. But they took an “article of clothing” that any normal person would be timid about wearing in public, and made it more ghastly. Did they just hire the same designers who create the college hats and t-shirts that you find at gas stations and Wal Mart? There appear to be at least 4 different logos on each of those. Why wouldn’t you just put one gigantic logo on it? People already make blankets like this, all you had to do was add sleeves. But I guess it’s not all bad news. For those of you out there that already have shirts like this to wear in September you now have a way to keep warm in November without sacrificing your trademark style.
