GoPong Beer Pong Tables: Same Quality – Half The Price

I’ll admit it. I have seen more than my fair share of beer pong tables. I’ve tested and played on a number of different brands of beer pong tables to know what is good quality and what deserves no attention. I was recently introduced to a new beer pong table on the market from GoPong. So what is so special about a GoPong Beer Pong Table that sets it apart from all the other brands of portable beer pong tables? Simply stated, it is the exact same as those other guys but about half the price.

So how is it that those other beer pong table manufacturers are selling comparable aluminum, portable and folding beer pong tables for $129.99 and GoPong can sell them for almost half of that? I’m not 100% sure and you probably need to go ask those other guys why their prices are so high.

The fact is that almost all portable beer pong tables on the market are manufactured in China. The makers of GoPong have made it a point to have their beer pong tables manufactured in the same facilities as those other tables. In some cases, you can only tell the difference between the tables at the end when the final design and brand name go on the tables. By offering the GoPong portable beer pong table for significantly less, the makers are banking on they will still be a profitable business by selling in volume rather than charging the consumer high prices for high margins. I have my very own GoPong beer pong table and before I received it, I will admit I was a bit skeptical it would be of the same quality of other tables I have seen. In short, it was of the same quality and passed with flying colors.

As consumers we have been trained to think that a lower price means lower quality. After all, you get what you pay for is a motto many people subscribe to. When I broke it out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the GoPong table was a high quality, sturdy yet lightweight and portable beer pong table. Honestly, had someone placed a different brand name of beer pong table on the GoPong table I would have never questioned its integrity or quality of craftsmanship.

Another cost saving maneuver for the GoPong beer pong table is it is only available in one design; black with white lettering design. Sure, other beer pong table companies offer multiple designs but that only drives up their costs of having to warehouse and hold inventory in hopes someone buys their specific design. So if you are one of those discriminating beer pong players that needs a more spiffy design, I’ve discovered a way customize your GoPong beer pong table by using skins from Skinit.com. Check out the video demonstration of how I customized my own GoPong beer pong table using Skinit.com Tailgate Packs.

If you chose to skip the video and prefer to read, simply put, the Skinit.com Tailgate Packs are perfect for turning the GoPong beer pong table into a beer pong table of your favorite team. So if you prefer a design that is not so “Plain Jane”, spruce it up using these Tailgate Packs from Skinit.com.

The specs on the GoPong tables are:
• Size Unfolded: 8′ x 2′ x 27.5″ high (Regulation Size)
• Size Folded: 2′ x 2′ x 5″
• Weight: 21 lbs
• High strength aluminum frame
• Waterproof melamine surface
• Ergonomic carrying handles

So all this time we’ve been telling you how affordable they are. Now its your opportunity to buy one for less than $100. These tables sell for $74.95 +$25 shipping. That’s less than $100 delivered right to your door. Compare that to other beer pong tables that cost $129.99 and you haven’t even added in the shipping costs.

Why pay more for a beer pong table when you can get a GoPong table for much less and customize it any way you like? It’s a no brainer. You can get your own GoPong portable beer pong tables right here from TailgatingIdeas.com for $99.95 including shipping.

Super Sunday and Home Alone

If you are reading this on Super Sunday, I say beware.  If you are reading this on Monday, I ask, “Was I right”?

Super Bowl Sunday is the ultimate NFL and entertainment event.  Everyone is watching and partying.  And when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE.

Below are 10 of the most annoying people that you will surely encounter at a Super Bowl Party…

  1. I don’t care if you are interested in the game.  I am only here for the commercials and food.  I don’t care if I ruin the actual watching of the game for others.
  2. I don’t have a favorite team, but I will come Monday morning.
  3. Peyton Manning.  It’s bad enough that you are playing in the game.  Do you have to be in every commercial too?!?
  4. I spent Saturday surfing the web for the new commercials.  Unintentionally (or is it intentional?) I am going to ruin the surprise of new commercials for everyone else.
  5. I know about football, but I’d rather play dumb, hoping for a hook-up.
  6. I am dieting, so it is my job to be be Mr./Mrs. Nutritional facts and let you know exactly how many calories and grams of fat are in those dips and wings.
  7. Well, I’ve seen all the new commercials and half time show.  Who cares if the game is a classic…time to go home!
  8. I just dropped $500 on the outcome of the coin toss.  Time to ruin everyone else’s party…before kick-off!
  9. Spilled beer, spilled dip, dropped wings…not my house, not my clean-up!
  10. It’s Monday morning and Mr. Beer Bong is still passed out on your couch.
  11. Bonus (for Philly Fans): I feel the need to keep reminding everyone else about that time that QB lost his pre-game meal on the field.

So as George Thorogood once sang, I think on this Super Sunday it would be best if  “I drink alone.” 

And my attitude has nothing to do with my favorite team never winning a Super Bowl…OK, maybe just a little!

Go Colts, Go Saints!

Weekend Wrap-Up #92: Ultimate Snack Food Stadium Edition

Last year prior to the Super Bowl we deviated from the normal eye candy we post up here and brought you the ultimate Snack Food Stadium. Well, someone obviously had to pull the one-upper. Leave it to the guys at Break.com to come up with something bigger and better. In my book, this one is a bit better than the original because this one includes a parking lot complete with snack food tailgaters. Links follow the artery clogging video of awesomeness.

Pig Out on Super Sunday

Since my home team too is at home on the couch, my favorite two things about Super Sunday finally arriving are:

  1. The never-ending, often pointless, pre-game analysis FINALLY coming to an end .
  2. When the sun rises on February 8, all NFL teams are back to an undefeated record!

And since the favorite team isn’t playing this Sunday the highlight for this fan will be the party food.  My rules with football food…the fatter the better, the more fried the better, and the more unique the better.

A snack of Deep Fried Bacon perfectly fits all three of the above criteria!

Ingredients

  • Milk – 1/2 cup
  • 1 lb. of bacon, thick sliced, cut in half
  • 3 eggs
  • Flour – 3 cups
  • Vegetable Oil – 2 1/2 cups for frying the bacon
  • Dash of some salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Soak the bacon in the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven (350 degrees F).
  4. Heat the oil in a deep skillet (375 degrees F).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper.
  6. Remove the bacon from the egg mixture, and toss with the flour to coat.
  7. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  8. Fry the bacon strips (no more than 5 slices at a time) until golden brown.
  9. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
  10. Once all of the bacon has cooked place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake in theoven until crispy, usually about 6-8 minutes.

And of course, all fried foods need to have some gravy for dipping.  May I suggest the below recipe for a simple White Gravy:

Ingredients:

  • 5 tbsp. butter
  • 5 tbsp. flour
  • Salt and Pepper for taste
  • 2 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp. of Tabasco sauce

Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Blend in flour, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce.
  3. Cook until smooth and bubbly.
  4. Stir in milk.
  5. Heat until boiling on medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir and boil 1 minute.

Enjoy and best of luck on your Super Bowl Box Pools.  If you win, just think how much bacon you could buy!!

Randomness:

If you aren’t a food guy or gal this Sunday, maybe you are a Hall of Fame RB type of person.   If the game happens to be a blow-out, maybe Sanders can teach you some moves to escape the party!

The Cooler Coozie Wraps Up Your Old Cooler With Team Logos

As sports fans and tailgaters we never pass on an opportunity to support our team. Whether it be face painting in the parking lot or sporting your favorite jersey inside the stadium, we think if we fail to show support it could adversely affect the team’s performance on the field. That same commitment to demonstrating you are a true fan extends to your tailgating cooler. No longer do you need to feel ashamed about bringing that red cooler to the tailgate when your team’s colors are black and gold. Now you can wrap your cooler in a Cooler Coozie.

Cooler Coozies are stretchable wraps screened with your favorite team’s colors and official logo that you wrap around your cooler. Made from the same type material they use to make wetsuits, the Cooler Coozie is durable and is ideal for outdoors and tailgating. I discovered this tailgating product while out in Las Vegas for the Sports Licencing & Tailgate Show and chatted with the brainchild of this product.

Pong University: Custom Printed Beer Pong Balls

In June of 2008, Pong University sent me a sleeve of beer pong ball custom printed with the Tailgating Ideas logo on them. In all honesty they were all right and were not anything spectacular. But that was over a year an a half ago. Since that time and my initial exposure to Pong University’s custom beer pong balls, the company has undergone a number of changes. I guess you could say they are under new ownership and new management and their attention to detail and quality is impeccable. Just check out the recent batch of custom beer pong balls I received last week and judge for yourself.

Pong_U_610x320

As you can see from the above photo, the quality of the image on the beer pong balls has greatly improved over the last sample I was sent. Since undergoing massive changes (for the better might I add) Pong University has a newly redesigned website and offers custom printed and blank beer pong balls. They also require no minimum quantities, colored balls are available and they only use high quality 40mm seamless balls.

So if you have been apprehensive about getting custom printed beer pong balls from Pong University, don’t be. The restructuring of the company has produced a high quality product that you will notice right away. Give them a try and you will be happy you did.

Fan Can Hand: Huge Can Koozie Hand Shows Your Team Spirit

While out in Las Vegas for the Sports Licencing & Tailgate Show I came across a unique tailgating item called The Fan Can Hand. It’s a drink koozie that is molded to look like an over-sized human hand. Picture the Incredible Hulk’s hand holding a beer. I had to learn more about this unique tailgating product so I chatted with Todd, the founder of the Fan Can Hand, on video to learn more about it.
