Oh man, today is just a scorcher! I was outside for about five minutes and my face almost melted off my skull. True story. It’s getting to be that time of year where you either have to buy a pool or make friends with somebody who has one. Because pools are expensive and not many people have the outdoor space for one, I recommend the latter. It’s probably easier to use the pool of a friend you already have, but if none of your current friends have aquatic means, then you’re gonna have to go make some new ones who do. You might think that it’s in poor form to befriend someone just because they have a pool, but you’d be wrong.
Once you set eyes on the Floating Cooler and Couch (Hammacher Schlemmer, $79.95), you’ll know what I mean about a pool being the coolest (!) summer accessory. On first glance, it looks like your average inflatable pool lounger, but it’s a little more awesome than that. See, this lounger has a concealed cargo hold built-in under the footrest that houses a cooler. That’s right, you can enjoy your favorite beverages without leaving the pool, or even your seat! The cooler fits 15 cans on ice and has a built-in drain to eliminate excess liquid. With a full height backrest and a cup holder in each armrest, you rest assured that you’ll be lounging in luxury this summer.
I don’t have a pool because a) there’s no room for one, and b) I lack adequate funds to purchase one. Unfortunately, I also don’t know anyone who was one (or access to one) so I’d better fine tune my networking skills because I need to make some new friends, and fast!
5 out of 5 stars.
