The PikPak was designed to revolutionize the way people drink at music festivals.

The [back-worn container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-frostvault-go) is an eco-friendly solution that eliminates plastic and paper cups. Equipped with gentle fabric drawstrings which can be fastened around the users' shoulders, this pack is liquid compatible, and will hold a days worth of liquid. The white minimalist, unisex design allows for mass appeal and promises to produce less spillage, and enhance crowd-navigating mobility as it allows both hands to be free. Users can drink from the pack like they would any container, wearing the PikPak around their backs when not in use.

This bag ensures the [safe keeping of alcohol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinkcation), and eliminates having to wait in long bar lines, allowing festival goers to focus on enjoying themselves.
