You can even stick one on your armpit so you'll know when was the last time you took a shower. Scratch that last one, your nose knows. More »

Stay-Cold Polar Pitcher: Straight, No Chaser

We like our beers straight, not watered down, and we like the way the Stay-Cold Polar Pitcher holds ice cubes up-close-and-personal to that brewski, cooling it off without adulterating it in any way.
