Mandle – Man candle in a recycled beer bottle

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

These have possibly the greatest candles ever! I know that sounds a little gay but hold on… In the words of Koi Kouture (the artist behind this creation) these are Mandles($28). What the hell is a mandle you ask? Well let let me explain. A mandle is a 220z Rogue beer bottle turned into a candle holder. Pretty kick ass right? Well the mandle magic doesn’t stop there. Mandles are candles that smell like manly things because vanilla scented candles in teacups are for chicks! You pick the scent and the bottle

Here are the scents you can choose from:

HOOTERS WAITRESS SCENTED: Suntan Oil with the faint smell of old deep fryer oil.
HUNGRY MAN TV DINNER SCENTED: Roast Beef with Creamed Corn (real enough to make you throw up in your mouth a little)
STRIPPER BREATH SCENTED: Watermelon Jolly Rancher with a little stale smoke
HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH ON RYE SCENTED: Ham and cheese on rye…with a tiny bit of mustard. This scent is awesome!
MUNCHIES SCENTED: Fritos with an underlying layer of dried pot and a tiny bit of smoke.
CARNY: Cotton Candy and Corn Dogs…with a little motor oil.
TRAILER PARK: Motor Oil, Fresh Dirt and despair (not really)
CAMPING: Roasted Marshmallow and campfire
OH NO, IT’S THE COPS!: Coffee and Donuts
ROAD TRIP: Beef Jerky
OLD SPICE (Because the new commercials are amazing!)
PINK STARBURST: Just like the pink starburst!
SPRING BREAK: Suntan oil
CRAZY OLD FISHERMAN: Fishing Boat and Old Spice
AXE BODY SPRAY: Just like the one your little brother in college wears.
FRESH CUT GRASS: Men love nothing more than mowing the lawn and drinking a beer.
LEATHER: Just like the leather couch in a bachelor pad

Bud Light “Clothing Drive”

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Just another great Bud Light commercial. I think this was supposed to make it into the Super Bowl but not sure it did. It may have but I didn’t see it we all know if I didn’t see it that means it didn’t happen. FTW!

The Dive Bar Shirt Club [Tuesday Tees]

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I’m a huge fan of dive bars and beer… cause thats what they sell at dive bars. Anyway as you may or may not know here at Freakn’ Sweet we like to share some our favorite t-shirts with you on Tuesday (Tuesday Tees) and this week is a special treat, it’s a club! The Dive Bar Shirt Club to be exact. This is such a genius idea actually. This special team of beer lovers travel around and find the best dive bars with the best shirts. You can enter the club and be a cool kid for $20/month and then you’ll receive a new shirt every month from a random watering hole.

I don’t know if they have it but my favorite dive is The Glory Hole in Camdenton, MO. No joke, it’s next to “Well Hung Windows” and it’s on the road to “Climax Springs” Here’s a picture below, round windows and all.

Skinny Blonde Beer = Best Label Ever [NSFW]

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

It is the ultimate beer-lover’s fantasy: a bottle of beer with a woman on the label whose bikini disappears as fast as the drinker can consume its contents.

Three friends in Sydney have taken on the Australian beer market with a unique world first marketing concept for their new beer. The label is Skinny Blonde, a low-carb beer that is thriving on the current popularity of Australia’s new crop of ‘healthy’ beers.

But there is another reason it is popular: the Skinny Blonde bottle features a 1950s-style pin-up called Daisy whose red bikini disappears as the beer level drops and the bottle warms up, thanks to the modern ink technology used on the labels. If you want another treat, head over to their site and check out these lovely ladies.

Update: Sadly they don’t have the original site up anymore so no naked six packs… However, they are clothed after the break. Read More

Bud Light Super Bowl Ad [Sneak Peek]

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8646223">http://www.vimeo.com/8646223</a>

A house made of Bud Light Cans. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds. This is a behind the scenes look at the Bud Light Super Bowl spot. They’ve completely cover this house and the inside includes a Bud Light can chair and couch, a grandfather clock and well everything is Bud Light. Apparently, the house took over 7,000 cans and it took 2 to 3 guys an entire weekend to dump them out. Don’t cry…. it was just Bud Light.

Arkeg: The Arcade Kegerator

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Beer and gaming go together like Mario and Luigi, and the Arkeg ($4,000) offers up plenty of both. This arcade game-styled machine features a fully functioning kegerator in its belly, with room for a 5 gallon keg kept cool by a solid-state thermoelectric cooling system. In addition, it sports a gaming-ready PC, pre-loaded with 69 games such as Asteroids, Mortal Kombat II, and 1942. Other features include a 24-inch LCD with protective overlay, an authentic backlit marquee, a 2.1 sound system with powered sub, two complete arcade controllers and a trackball mounted in a custom aluminum panel, a side-mounted tap with interchangeable handle, and more.

So in short this is a must have. No seriously, I need this… I think I’m going to start tagging things as wedding gift ideas.

The Newcastle DraughtKeg

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

I like beer. I like beer a lot in fact so I’m pretty exited about this. Just like the Heineken version Newcastle has now introduced the Newcastle DraughtKeg ($23). The pressurized mini-keg serves up 10 pints of draught beer, and will stay fresh for 30 days with on-tap tastiness. Who wants to buy me a beer?
