PHOOZY Drink Capsule Can Cooler | A Spacesuit for your Beer
Have you ever been satisfied with the typical beer koozie? Flimsy, underperforming neoprene and usually with some tacky phrase stenciled on the side. Like, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere”, or “Save water, drink beer”, or even “Let’s get ready to stumble”. The bottom line is they “need” a catch phrase to sell their crappy product. Not […]
