Slap Koozie [Review]





What are Slap Koozies?

Whether you call them 'slap koozies', 'slap wraps', 'stubby holders' or 'slap koozies' you are probably referencing the ubiquitous beverage holder. 'Huggies' have been referenced ever since 1921 when Dave and his brother Russell Duncan patented the 'kozy' for portable gas generators. Then someone realized you could insulate hot and cold beverages the same way and in 1981, koozies were born.

Around the same time in human history, a monumental shift in cultural and political winds brought our society into the period known as 'The 80's'. During this period of excess, debauchery, Alf, & knowing what Willis was 'talkin bout', a new form of fashion was introduced to the world. Slap bracelets, those little metal banded things that everyone wore, traded & and created peace on earth with, were born.

Then one day, the genesis of 80's excess and Depression era efficiency joined forces to create the Slap Koozie. Fashioned from 4mm neoprene (the same material as a wetsuit), these slap koozies feature parallel metal inserts, that when bent, wrap around your beverage of choice. Think of it as a bowtie for your beverage!

How to use a Slap Koozie:

  1. Start from a standing or seated position, knees bent, slap koozie in your throwing hand, beverage in your catching hand. Take a few practice swings and get comfortable with the grip. When you are ready, proceed to "slap" your Slap Koozie on your beverage. Note the kinetic energy as it gracefully wraps itself around your beer just as it's appeal wraps itself around your heart.
  2. Yell "Koozie Slap!" and quickly notify all your friends of your new beer bow-tie!
  3. Enjoy your beverage and repeat...

Fun Ways To Use Your Slap Koozie:

  • Keeping your beverage cold and your hands warm.
  • Wristbands!
  • A way to reminisce about the 80's
  • Promoting your brand
  • Promoting your product or company
  • Dress up your beverage and start a unique conversation
  • Ankle warmers!

 


The SlapKooler™ band is a banded 'slap koozie' beverage insulator that you can 'slap' on your can, bottle, arm, leg, friends, or people you just meet. Many people call it a 'slap koozie' or a 'slap wrap', but we call the SlapKooler the next generation of awesome. Dual metal recoiling bands slap the neoprene koozie insulator around your can or bottle, just as it's appeal wraps itself around your heart!

 

Personally, both my husband and I enjoyed using Slap Koozie. We used it on everything from juice bottles, cans of cola, bottled drinks, even cups of coffee. I even used it at work in my office to help keep "wondering hands" off my drink, and publicize the drinks that were actually my own.

They even offer art work and designs custom made on your very own Slap Koozie to show off you business logo! Slap Koozie's can even be worn as a bracelet and make for an exciting conversation starter! They are perfect for promoting a business and excellent for business "giveaways" to help with advertizements! The Slap Koozie is perfect when your on the go carrying a hot cup of coffee, your favorite flavored iced drink, or worn on your wrist or ankle! Its BACK from the 80s only with a revolutionary change! Its a sporty decorative band for your favorite drink!
