The middle of September arrives with a bang, proudly trumpeting the arrival of football, and along with the beginning of football season comes the onset of tailgating season. You can picture it now…the sun is out. The cars are lined up. You're prepared with all of the typical game-day grilling accessories and the obligatory yet slightly obnoxious amounts of team paraphernalia, and it seems that a delightful afternoon is afoot. Sounds great—but wait! Before you head off to the big game, take a look at this list to see some must-have items you might be missing out on!
The Go Plate
Talk about practical—this reusable dish solves the ancient eating while drinking while high-fiving and opening another beer dilemma. Whether it's a bottle, can or cup, this plate fits right over your drink so you can hold everything all at once. Fill your Go Plate with all of your game day favorites and enjoy the inevitable tailgating benefits of having a free hand. Nota bene—be sure to remove your plate before drinking, or else you'll be getting a face full of food!
The Fold Flat Grill
Forget lugging an old, heavy grill around. Opt for this foldable grill instead. Designed specifically for simplicity and convenience and toting a generously sized cooking area as well as chrome-plated grates, the Fold Flat Grill is ready to handle all of the burgers and dogs your heart and stomach desire.
The Coolest Cooler
If you're looking for an all-in-one tailgate accessory, this may just be your coolest option. And there's a reason we said “coolest”—with a high performance blender, outdoor Bluetooth speakers, a USB charger, a built-in bottle opener, an accessory deck and much more, The Coolest Cooler is the cooler of the century.
Bevometer
Most people agree that a tailgate wouldn't be complete without a few cold ones, but how many is too many? With the Bevometer, you can accurately keep track of how many drinks you've had. This insulated koozie automatically detects each time you insert a new drink, so you can notice (or cheerfully overlook) your beverage intake.
