Bad product alert: Beer pong kits!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

While backstocking freight from today's truck I noticed a new product: Party Pong. Everything you need to start a game of party pong at your next party, intimate socail gathering or business meeting.

The instructions only mention generic "drinks" but we know everybody who buys it will play Beer Pong with it.

Our buyers are living proof that crack does not smoke itself.

Business meeting???!!!

Please tell me it doesn't really say that on the box...

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

It doesn't. I used some creative license. But wouldn't it be awesome if it did?

I was hoping that was the case. And knowing you, I figured it probably was.

But yeah, that would be awesome

What ever happened to a package of Solo Cups and a Ping-Pong ball? I mean, do you really need a kit for beer pong? I'm pretty sure anyone who wants to play, has cups and a ball to play, and the beverage of choice. No kit needed.

My friend has one of those kits. I told him it was the stupidest thing I ever saw.

Now you've angered the gods, they'll send down a muse to inspire an even stupider product.

that's a good idea, for people who have enough money they want to waste it on a beer pong set, instead of buying a $2 pack of ping pong balls and using their plastic cups at home

no, seriously, it does sound like a cute idea. I love the shot checkers sets.

What about that 'Electric Skipping Rope' for people who are too un-coordinated to skip with a jumprope/piece of long whatever? (Though that may have been mentioned in chat, and not on the forum actual...)

And about the 'Beer Pong' kit... is it repulsively expensive compared to the simple, fun version?

At my last business meeting, we played Quarter Bounce and Three Man.

Why doesn't Flip Cup ever get any respect when talking of drinking games? That was my favorite, and it was a team sport.

But this way, some company can sell it for 10 times the price of buying the individual components themselves.

The only pong I know is the old computer game.

Can someone explain this to me?

Games like Beer Pong and Tippy Cup are popular with high school and college aged kids......and I guess, midlife crisis men as well (that dirty bastard maintenance man was trying to flirt with me again, bragging about how him and his buddies play beer pong once a week and get "totally wasted").

I don't play those games. I don't know the rules.

I play drinking card games like "Fuck the dealer" "suicide" and "bullshit". "Bullshit" is a hundred times more fun when alcohol is involved. You make a person drink if they call a false bullshit or if they get caught bullshitting. If you're all drunk when you start playing, you'll all just call BS at the wrong time.
