Motorized Barstools

Baron Bob's Racing Machines for the Uninhibited Inebriate

— March 30, 2009 — Lifestyle
Baron Bob has a self-proclaimed, "wonderfully wacky" hangar-sized warehouse in New Jersey. Therein he stores and sells truly tacky and tasteless items for every occasion. Among his collection are motorized barstools.

What drunkard wouldn't delight in deftly piloting one of these mobile barstools into a 28 mph pile?

The safer alternative may be the "scootin cruzin cooler." It has options for a cooler-trailer as well as a cushion seat. At around $400, it's definitely cheaper than the $2K barstool.

Implications - Baron Bob's inspiration lies in the desire to release products that are wide ranging, yet totally unique, funny and buzz worthy. Following the motto 'Dare to be Different,' the bar stools are just one of many wacky gifts the company offers to customers.

1. Motorized Barstools - Motorized barstools offer a novel and entertaining way for people to enjoy their drinks while on the move.
2. Tacky and Tasteless Items - The market for tacky and tasteless items is thriving, presenting opportunities for businesses to create and sell uniquely funny and buzzworthy products.
3. Alternative Coolers - The rise of alternative coolers, like the scootin cruzin cooler, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to offer portable and customizable cooling solutions.
