Now You Can Have A Beer Belly

I heard about a very interesting product this morning on "The Bob And Tom Show."  It's called "The Beer Belly."  It's a pouch that men (and, I guess, women) can strap around their stomachs.  It's a neoprene sling and a polyurethane bladder that can hold 80 ounces of your favorite beverage, hot or cold. The bladder is held in an insulated pouch and is worn under your clothes for concealment.  It gives the appearance of one having a beer belly.  From the pictures I saw online, when it's filled with a beverage, it looks straight up just like a real beer belly.  They also sell what they call a "Pleasure Extender" - a gel pack that you can freeze and insert into the sling to keep the contents of the pouch good and cold for a few hours.

For those of you going to the Oaks or the Derby, or up to the Indy 500 next month, this would be the perfect accessory for you if you want to smuggle in your own drinks.  I think you'd have a better chance of pulling off the Beer Belly than you would by trying to smuggle vodka in Ziploc bags stuck inside a ridiculously-sized gallon of mayonaise. 

The Beer Belly also comes with a long drinking tube.  I'm thinking this might raise a few eyebrows if people see you sucking out of a tube that's coming from underneath your clothes.  But I guess the beverage inside has to come out somehow, right?
