White Claw Hard Seltzer teamed up with comedy trio Please Don't Destroy to launch the limited-edition Roast Host Collection, knowing those who lovingly roast one another use gentle teasing as a sign of trust and familiarity, and proof that they understand each other well enough to laugh together without harm. In fact, according to a new survey, friends who regularly roast each other are nearly twice as loyal, and 78% of people say roasting feels playful and friendly.
This cheeky lineup of holiday hosting essentials includes special pieces like a serving platter emblazoned with "You're so brave for speaking before thinking," as well as a serving bowl, a set of dinner plates, coasters and cloth napkins with similar sentiments.
