Any seasoned player would be wise to pick up the Beer Pong Ice Rack (Convenient Gadgets & Gifts, $24.95) for their next get together. I mean, just think about the worst thing that can happen during a game of Beer Pong. Was it the beer getting warm? Because I think that is just about one of the worst crimes that can be committed against a beer. Now you can avoid such a catastrophe because once you fill this rack with water and stick it in the freezer, you’ve got ice cold beer for hours. Also, since the rack has built in slots for each cup, the odds of cups spilling are greatly decreased. Not only does this mean less clean up during party hours, but you can also expect less disagreements about cup placement. We all know that guy who says the cups are touching, but they’re really about two inches apart (making your shot less than accurate). And don’t even get me started on the jerk who sticks the back cups right on the edge of the table so they’ll fall off when you make the shot. Since the cups are placed in the rack, they can’t be tampered with as easily and subsequently will not result in a puddle of beer on your floor. Or you could just not invite that guy. I’m just saying.

If you’re a Beer Pong newbie, don’t fret. This set comes with two racks, three ping pong balls, and a set of official rules. You can read up on the rules (decide which ones you’re going to completely ignore), practice a little on your own, and then host a shindig. Whip out these racks and I can guarantee you’ve just made a whole bunch of new friends.

5 out of 5 stars.
