Ride The Waves With Cleatus Cups
Summer is on the horizon and for all of the upcoming beach, river and lake trips, keep every beverage in a stylish cup from veteran-owned Cleatus Cups!
Creators Jon Turner and Tom Dolvin formulated the idea of the Cleatus Cup over several beers after Turner’s wife suggested attaching a boat cleat to a cup. Cleatus Cups now merges the old philosophy of respecting all things water with the newness of the company.
Turner and Dolvin describe the Cleatus Cup as “the redneck beer glass, saltwater style!”
“No fisherman or water adventurer should be without one,” they say.
Made in America, the Cleatus Cup features a sturdy boat cleat handle on a variety of designs and colors. Show your appreciation for the ocean with a “Captain” or “First Mate” cup, or celebrate the nautical alphabet with a cup dotted with nautical flags. If sailing isn’t your style, park it on the sand with a “Life’s Good at the Beach” Cleatus Cup.
Dreaming of the waves over the holidays? Pick up a holiday themed Cleatus Cup decked in an anchor made of all things Christmas for your favorite beach beverage.
If you already have a bottled beverage around but need an easier way to hold it, Cleatus Cup has you covered. The Cleatus Cooler is a uniquely designed drink cooler with the patented cleat handle to hold water, soda or beer bottles! The neoprene cooler keeps your drink fresh and easily accessible.
Cleatus Cups are perfect not only for the lake or ocean but for tailgating or outdoor parties during the summer. And don’t worry about the cup breaking down — Cleatus Cups are virtually indestructible and won’t crack or chip! Even better, the cups float, making them the only option for a day on the water. Let the good times roll with the “fun meter” on the bottom of the Cleatus Cup that warns when your drink is running low.
Drink in style this summer and rest easy knowing your beverage is easy to grab with the Cleatus Cup or Cleatus Cooler. Sail away with your favorite mug and enjoy the water!
Bübi Bottle Makes Hydrating Easy, And Convenient
Water bottles are a necessity for many situations, whether you’re hitting the weights at the gym, going for your daily jog, or hiking through mountainous terrain. Staying hydrated during these activities is a must.
The problem with most water bottles, however, has less to do with holding water, and more to do with how inconvenient they can be to carry around with you. Because, let’s face it, water bottles are bulky and heavy.
So, when Craig Madaus — founder and inventor of the Bübi Bottle — came up with the idea for a collapsible, squishy water bottle that can store both hot and cold water, he knew he had a recipe for success.
Stormy Start
After losing his advertising job in New York, Madaus roamed the cities looking for work, but to no avail. He spent his time doing yoga and hanging out in coffee shops, until eventually getting a temporary job working for a sailboat crew.
During a trip from Connecticut to St. Thomas, the crew’s sailboat encountered a terrible storm, that tore their sail and stranded them on the water for a few days. With their supplies dwindling, the crew had to make sure to save their water supply, and sparingly sip water from plastic water bottles.
This is where Madaus got his idea for creating a collapsible, sustainable water bottle. While crushing one of his plastic water bottles and throwing it in the trash, he came up with an idea for a reusable bottle that could do the same thing. Thus, a new entrepreneurial business was born.
Bübi Bottle Features
The Bübi Bottle has a number of features that place it way above the competition:
- microwave and freezer safe
- mold-resistant
- BPA-free
- dishwasher-safe
- lightweight
- foldable
- will never release harmful chemicals
- reversible, for easy cleaning
Not only is it a great water bottle, it also functions as so much more. The bottle can be used for hot and cold beverages, as an ice or hot pack for sore muscles, as a stress reliever, and for warming hands and more during cold winters.
Your customers can also use the waterproof bottle to store things besides beverages, including cellphones, keys, laundry detergent, rice, oatmeal, matches, bandages and more!
They also have a line of baby bottles, that are safe for children to use, called Babi Bübis. Their soft exterior, and lack of harmful chemicals, make them perfect for toddlers and children.
The Bübi Bottle is a fantastic, and innovative product that your customers will love! It’s design and wide variety of uses make it a perfect gift for any family member or friend!
Pappy’s Tasty Teas
There’s nothing quite as refreshing on a warm day as a freshly brewed batch of ice cold tea. With Pappy’s Sassafras Tea, your customers will get just what they’re looking for to quench their thirst, and it’s good for them, too!
Novelty to Necessity
Pappy’s started out as H & K Products (which stands for Hermie Kerner) in rural Ohio. Kerner started brewing his sassafras tea in 1962 as a souvenir of sorts. The little brown jug that the tea was bottled in could be used as a table lamp after drinking the tea. The success of that batch of tea continued to grow in the following years, and pretty soon Kerner had a widely successful business on his hands! Now his company’s teas are distributed all across the world, even in places like South Korea, and are featured in major grocery chains such as Kroger.
A Healthy Treat
Pappy’s teas not only taste great, they’re also great for your customers! All of the teas have zero carbs, zero sugar, zero caffeine, and are gluten free! There’s also less than 1 calorie in each 12 oz. bottle of tea, and very low sodium (less than 15 mg per fl. oz.) It’s also brewed with all natural ingredients. For example, Pappy’s Sassafras Tea contains: filtered water, sassafras extract, caramel coloring, and potassium sorbate. That’s it!
You can also use Pappy’s line of tea concentrates to spice up your other favorite drinks, including your favorite liquor or smoothie. They go perfect with ice and fruit to create delicious, fruity specialty drinks!
A Variety of Products
Sassafras Tea is Pappy’s original and most popular product, but the company also excels in making healthy green, peach, and raspberry teas. Their antioxidant-rich green tea is packed with 105 milligrams of antioxidants per serving, while still maintaining less than 1 calorie per serving! The amount of antioxidants in this green tea is as much as five times the amount found in many other leading brands of green tea.
But if tea isn’t your thing, don’t fret! The company also offers a variety of jellies, including a sassafras jelly and raspberry jelly. These tasty treats are made in the traditional way, with the memories of the “Good Ole Days” in mind.
So if you’re looking for a tasty, healthy drink that’s sure to get customers shopping at your store, stock your fridges with Pappy’s homemade teas!
