The Tailgate Blog

A key component to tailgating is gearing up to smuggle alcohol into the stadium. There are many different ways people try to secretly stash their booze. The major transport system is via a flask. People hide them in their socks, wastebands, or pockets. Flasks come in all shapes and sizes, but the inherent problem with flasks is that they are usually bulky and you have to keep up with them. Well not anymore folks!

I received a package in the mail this week from Alexander Kristoff at DisposableFlasks.com. I ripped open the package to find four disposable flasks in various colors. The flasks are very compact and lightweight. There is a screw cap on each one with a seal to ensure it hasn’t been used previously. These look great, but I wondered if they could replace my trusty metal flask I usually carry. The Disposable Flask looks so thin, I couldn’t imagine it could hold the same amount of liquid. So I put it to the test.

The Disposable Flask is supposed to hold 7.5 fluid ounces. This is a pretty good compromise for a flask as most are between 6 and 8 fluid ounces. I filled the Disposable Flask to the top and then poured the liquid out into a measuring cup. I was surprised to see that it was pretty close to 8 fluid ounces.

The next test was to see how it would feel in my pocket and wasteband. As you would expect, the Disposable Flask is rather pliable so it easily fit into my side pocket of my shorts. Next, I tried the Disposable Flask in my wasteband. This was a clear advantage for the Disposable Flask I hadn’t considered. The fact that the Disposable Flask can contour itself to your wastband and body means there is less likelihood it will slip out.

I believe the Disposable Flask has some distinct advantages over their metal counterparts. It holds the same amount of liquid, easily contours to your pocket or waste, and it is much cheaper. The Disposable Flask price ranges from $1.99 to $0.99. They also come in a variety of colors and you can even customize your own.
