Reusable Straw Ties

Topo Chico HS X Neon Cowboys Created a Neon Bolo Tie You Can Drink From

— October 1, 2021 — Marketing
Topo Chico Hard Seltzer recently joined forces with Neon Cowboys, a fashion tech brand that is renowned for its western-themed glowing apparel and accessories, to launch a neon bolo tie that you can drink from.

“With a seltzer that has as much personality as Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, we needed an equally original way to drink it and that's where the Bolo Chico was born,” said Alan Bremerkamp, Marketing Director, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer. “Neon Cowboys have been dream design partners and we're excited to work with them to put this showstopper out into the world, whether it's at music festivals or nights on the town."

Starting October 6, fans over the age of 21 can head online to get their hands on a Bolo Chico for the price of a case of Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, while supplies last. However, fans should act quickly as there will only be 100 Bolo Chicos released.
