Beer bellies.  Glorious, status-wielding, beer bellies.  Just think of how many beers it took to forge such a grandiose sculpted icon of manhood.  1,000?  10,000?  What about 100,000?

Many times beer bellies go right along with sports (watching not playing).  Ever gone to a live sports event and bought a beer or six?  You get some watered-down, expensive as hell, sudsy and completely unsatisfying crap most of the time.  So, wouldn’t it just be better to bring your own?  How about places where alcohol is prohibited like the movies or your child’s graduation?  Here’s a product you might want to check out: The Beer Belly (http://www.thebeerbelly.com/) for $34.95.

Not only is this loads of fun and a cool novelty item but it’s got some serious money saving potential.  Just think of it as an investment.  Your return will most definitely cover your initial expense…that is, until the ease of use turns you to rampant alcoholism.
