Beer Pong. Invented Here and US Manufactured

When I was in college, we played quarters. Kids are a lot more innovative these days. Now they play beer pong. When I visited a daughter at college, we went to an apartment and they broke the cups and ping pong balls out. But not like this.

I have an antique shuffleboard that I love playing on. It’s from the 1940′s. I noticed they have a bar full of them in Austin, TX.

Time marches on though. Shuffleboard is different than beer pong, although it takes similar skill. In my day job, I search through the midwest for cutting edge innovation that builds off midwestern DNA. One thing we do like few other places is the Supper Club. You will find them scattered in small towns all over the midwest. They are pedestrian places where regular people eat regular food, get a good drink and play games like shuffleboard and now, beer pong.

The founder of Zynga is from Chicago. He has midwestern sensibility. He bought a Chippewa Five Beer Pong table for the office. Now Facebook has one. It’s sweeping through the valley. You can get one too!
Manufactured and invented in the good ole USA.

See, we can innovate.
