A directory of random sports stuff.Good Gift / Bad Gift - Volume 2
This time I'm bringing you commentary on beer gifts, a relevant choice because of its popularity at pretty much any sporting event. Its also great Christmas morning to help drown out the kids.
Good Gift - The Wunderbar Home Beer Dispenser. Looking at the picture below, you should be able to tell that this is a sweet thing to have around the house. It can be stocked with 4, 5, or 6-liter keg in your choice of 300 brands of draft beer and it ranges in price from $105 to $238. The low end model will keep beer cold with batteries. The high end model will cool beer using the same technology they put into Sub-Zero fridges. The only catch, its not actually for sale in the US. So actually, that makes this a horrible gift idea for THIS year.
Bad Gift - The Sports Nut Beer Basket. This one had me pissed off right away, because its actually the kind of crap that someone will end up buying/receiving as a present. All it is is 4 bottles of beer and a few snack foods you could pick up standing in line at 7-11 with a bow on top. And why is it labeled the "Sports Nut" variety of beer gift basketness? Is it the yellow koozie? Nope, its because everyone knows that athletes eat sunflower seeds. By the way, the baseball, golf balls, tees, and fishing lure in the picture? Nope, not included. They couldn't fit that into the $49.95 price range they were working with.
