Product testing and Pearl Jam

Packed and ready for the show

Packed and ready for the show

 

So over the winter I was contacted by a representative from Forte Promotions about trying out some of their products and writing about them.  For the last six to eight months I have been looking for the right time and place to give some test runs.  Then the perfect opportunity came; Pearl Jam in Toronto – what better place than a concert to really take some products for a test drive!

As you will note, pictured above is a Koozie Party Cooler that was one of the items that was sent to me.  As you will note, we took the liberty of decorating it ourselves with the hope that it might not get taken.  Anyway, as you can see, it’s filled to the rim with delicious “Mill St. Wit” (it only gets modest BA’er love) and some random cans we brought with us.

We used this cooler to hike nearly a mile to the Molson center in Toronto in traffic.  This cooler really stood up to the pressure and didn’t fail us.  Our beers were cold and there were no broken handles or dropped beers.  A win all the way around.

The sad news is that our plan of tagging our property failed and our cooler was no more after we got back.  However, our cooler was a really warrior that held up and hopefully has moved on to keeping some other Canadian beers cold.  My recommendation is that this is a hell of a cooler and will be missed.  It’s durable and the bottle opener attached to it is clutch. 

If you are interested in learning more, check out the folks at Forte Promotion.  They were friendly and eager to help out. 

Finally, how about a little taste from the Jam show… [first time they played Porch on this tour!]

    What happened? Was it taken by the police? Not sure why you lost it?

    Good question. We couldn’t bring it into the show so we found a hiding place and stashed it. When we came back after the show it was gone. It served proudly.
