Freska's Beer Balloon « Faded Boxers

This is a much delayed post that was supposed to be written weeks ago. Possible reasons for the delay is the fact that we’re all a bunch of lazy imbeciles who are incapable of writing anything which doesn’t lend itself to dick or gay jokes.

Also, most of us have lost the ability to read. And take a bath. Without the assistance of another man. With a rock hard penis. Oh hey, lookit that. Penis and gay jokes! Now this article is halfway done.

Anyway, Freska contacted TMB through Peter to see if we’re willing to sample their Beer Balloon (which will henceforth be known in this blog as “thingamabob.”)

We really didn’t exert any effort to find out more. Whether we could get 1 free thingamabob or 3. If the food is free. If we can tap the waitress or waiter (hey, we’re not choosy) on the butt whenever we go to the bathroom. Or if the carpet was fireproof (don’t ask). All we heard was “free beer” and we were there. And we brought our lighters and matches (I told you not to ask).

So how was the thingamabob? Well it was advertised as being able to keep your beer cool until the very last drop. It attempts to do this by keeping the ice isolated from the beer with a tube found in the middle of the thingamabob, thereby cooling the beer while not diluting it with the melted ice.

So was it as awesome as the poster said it would be? Well, somewhat. It’s a nifty thingamabob to put some bob in your thing. Also it’s a cool way to share beer with your friends, as well as be a good conversation piece. Which is useful because there’s only so much time we can dedicate talking about how much Rocky‘s penis is bigger than all of ours.

But like all things concerning beer, there’s a flaw in the design. Because the ice is encased in a plastic tube, the apparatus didn’t do an overly fantastic job of cooling the beer. I’m not a design genius, but maybe the beer would do a better job of cooling if the ice was encased in metal or steel.

Also, I’m not sure whether it’s the design or the fact that the waiter had to keep sidestepping to avoid being fondled by our grabbing hands as he was bringing the thingamabob to our table; but the beer didn’t have crisp kick in the balls bite we look for in our beer. Must be the design.

So in conclusion, all of us miss Steel.

Oh speaking of Steel, below is a picture of Peter talking to Spaceman Mike! More pic links below. Yay!
