Papa Bert's Sippin' Seat Cushion

Seat w. Drink Storage

— May 9, 2007 — Lifestyle
Going to a game can be such a hassle. Don't you hate how uncomfortable stadium seats can be? And then the crazy prices they charge for food and beverages?

Papa Bert found a way to make watching live sports more enjoyable with his Sippin' Seat Cushion. The one-man square seat is the perfect way to pad your heinie—and keep you hydrated thanks to the innovative little compartment inside.

With enough room to accompany 750 ml of your favourite beer, the cushions are the perfect way to smuggle in a little booze to bypass the crazy concession prices.

The cushions are designed to be filled with fluids and won't explode under a normal adult's weight. Papa Bert made sure of that—no one wants to walk out of a game looking like they got a little too enthused over the action. Your pants have a better chance of staying free of spills this way than if you were flailing a plastic cup around each time you stood to cheer.

The Sippin' Seat Cushions are available in red, orange and camouflage. Any hunter can appreciate sippin' on a good brew while glassing a ridgeline for game or calling in ducks.

One thing not mentioned on After5Catalogue.com, however, is how your drink will stay cool. Going to a summer game in the hot weather definitely calls for a chilled drink—but I'm not sure it'll be so cool after a couple periods under your arse. Guess you'll have to chug that stout before the first period runs up!
