So, I'm down with the Camelbak packs, and I can even kind of see the merit in a beer hat. But...a drink cushion? Called Papa Bert's Sippin' Seat (the site claims it's "world famous"), it looks like a bizarre cross between a stadium cushion and a colostomy bag (the fact that the product description calls the inner plastic bag a "bladder" doesn't exactly help) and it's meant to hold your drink as you sit and take in the Big Game. (The website suggests that with this product, you can smuggle drinks into the stadium, and you also never have to get up). Except, I'd imagine, to pee, especially after downing all three cups of whatever beverage you've just consumed from your cushion.
Thankfully, you don't drink directly from the seat itself; you're supposed to pour your drink from the handy spout into your cup, although I'd imagine that a fan who's a few sheets to the wind wouldn't think twice before trying to drink out of the seat (blackmail photos, much?)
Readers, I ask you: has anyone actually used one of these who would be willing to admit it? Is it the equivalent of sleeping on a water bed? And what happens if, heaven forbid, the seat bursts mid-game? (Papa Bert claims the thing can withstand 300 pounds - I feel bad for whomever had to come to that conclusion).
And not to worry: the cushion is made from a fabric that's meant to resist moisture and staining. (Ew).
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

Your rear quarters (ahem) would warm the beer. Not to mention loading it into that thing would make the most non-fizzy beer I could imagine. I think I will pass, thanks.

Not to mention that by advertising, they have taken away any covert advantage this product may have had!

And I've always believed that smuggling food into a place that doesn't allow you to do so is stealing.
Just saying.

Kassie: And so is charging ridiculous prices because of a defacto or actual monopoly. Bud light should never cost 7 bucks.

If you couple this with the Stadium Pal, you'll never have to leave your seat!
