Fast, New and Fancy

Drinkware—it's one of the fundamental components of the promotional industry. Maybe it's because our bodies are 75 percent water, or maybe it's because it is the most efficient way to get sugar, alcohol and precious, precious caffeine into our bodies, but humans just can't get enough drinking. As a result, nine times out of 10, distributors just can't get enough drinkware selling.

That one time out of 10 though? That's when you hit one of the rare speed bumps in selling to the thirsty. A client forgot to order water bottles for a 5K that is next week, your biggest barware customer is getting bored with the same old pint glasses, or, even worse, a brand-new customer has an unbelievably big marketing budget, but can't seem to find a drinkware piece nice enough to spend it on.

The following products are sure to quench your customers' drinkware needs.

Cube and Tell
AAkron Line's Mood Cube Tumbler offers a color-changing cube pattern in a variety of different hues.

Let Freedom Slurp
Fact: Samuel Francis Smith, writer of "My Country 'Tis of Thee, went through a ton of verbs before settling on "let freedom ring." Slurp, quench, hydrate ... actually, could it be that he was just a time traveler with Crown Products' Freedom Tumbler stuck on his mind? Looks like we've finally got a question for Mythbusters!
