Yeah, I know jackassedness is not a word. Just like ginormous is not a word either but I keep on hearing people use it. So if you ever use the term “jackassedness” and someone doesn’t know what you mean, point them to this video. It will clear up any questions they might have.
I’ll admit it. I was skeptical of the claim that the Can Grip would keep your beer cold just as if it was in a beer koozie. All it is is a plastic handle that snaps onto your 12 oz. can to make it look like you are drinking out of a mug. Rather clever for sure but how could it keep the beer cold as the manufacturer claimed? I decided to put the can grip through its paces complete with digital thermometers to see if it really can keep your beer cold. In the following video you’ll be surprised at the results just like I was. (Click on the image to view larger example)
As you saw in the video, the beer using the Can Grip only gained about seven or eight degrees in 15 minutes. The beer I held in my bare hand for 15 minutes went from 37 degrees to 68 degrees. Definitely a warm beer that you don’t want to be drinking when you are out tailgating. Another cool feature is that the flat base of the Can Grip acts as a coaster as well. Not that I see too many tailgates with coasters out and about but just in case you didn’t want to leave water rings on someone’s table.
So not only does the Can Grip make your Natty Light look like an expensive import but it will keep it cool while your hands stay warm. This product worked so well that I have decided to offer it for sale here on TailgatingIdeas.com. Each Can Grip sells for $3.99 each plus $5 flat rate shipping. Buy six for $20 + shipping or buy 10 Can Grips for $32 + shipping. All Can Grips sold via TailgatingIdeas.com are the color blue.
By now you have probably seen or heard the news about the numerous wildfires that broke out in Southern California on Saturday. One of the reasons why this edition of the Weekend Wrap is coming to you on Sunday rather than the normal Saturday time slot, blame it on the fires. I was out tailgating in support of the Cal State Fullerton football team making a return when the wife called and said that the fires were getting close to our home. I packed up and headed home but by the time I got close to the freeway exits I would normally take, police and fire trucks were blocking the exits and were directing traffic to continue on the freeway. Let’s just say I made a few driving maneuvers that my driver’s ed teacher would kill me for but I was determined to get home to my family.Thanks goodness for cell phones because I was able to stay updated on our neighborhood’s status and if we were being asked to evacuate. The good news is that the winds shifted and there was no need for us to evacuate. Unfortunately for our house to be spared, others were lost.
So, I know this edition of the weekend wrap is a day late but I think I have a good excuse. Alright, hope everyone is safe out there and on with the links…
Apparently cornhole, ladder golf and even beer pong have gotten too mundane for Philly fans. Just duct tape 10 beer cans together as your lance and get a drunk friend to offer up the piggy back ride. You now have tailgate jousting.
Dan Rubenstein, the SI Tour Guy, is back at it, this time in Blacksburg, Virginia for a little Virginia Tech tailgating. Wonder if our writer, Nick Jancaitis, was interviewed but his comments made their way to the cutting room floor.
