Germ-Free Beer Games

This Beer Pong Accessory is a Cup Liner to Keep Balls Clean & Cups Balanced

— July 8, 2015 — Lifestyle
'Slip Cup' is a beer pong accessory that comes in packages of 20 mini cup liners to catch pong balls and prevent them from landing inside your beer. During a game of beer pong, the balls spend more time on the dirty floor than in the cups but Slip Cup enables your beer to stay hygienic no matter how many shots are missed.

These miniature cup inserts fit perfectly inside a 16 or 18 ounce cup. The Slip Cups are designed to sit just above the liquid in the large cup and feature thin rims and are center-weighted to avoid spills. They have a catching element that lets balls in but won't let them bounce out. In addition, each cup is labeled with a number, which created 15 new drinking games.

Some of the new games include 'Wild Cup,' and 'Battle Pong.' This clean version of beer pong will ensure your beer is sanitary so you can focus on making the next shot.
Trend Themes
1. Hygienic Beer Pong - Slip Cup enables beer pong players to keep their beer clean and hygienic during the game, presenting an opportunity for the development of more hygienic beer pong accessories and products.

3. Numbered Cup Labeling - The labeling of each Slip Cup with a number creates potential for the development of new drinking games and personalized cup experiences in the beer pong industry.
Industry Implications
