If there was ever a piece of business content that gets you ready to slide into the weekend, it’s Thirsty Thursday! On Thirsty Thursday, we try a mystery drink from a very cool piece of branded drinkware. We have no idea what is coming, so you get a true (and sometimes inappropriate) reaction to what we try! This time we discuss the amazing 22 oz Brumate Toddy with Fashion Colors from our pals at Hit Promo. Watch the latest episode now!
Why The 22 oz Brumate Toddy with Fashion Colors?
While the feedback on the drink each week can have mixed reviews, this piece of branded drinkware was universally loved! The Brumate Toddy with Fashion colors features several very cool positives. First, the colors really are fun. As you can see on the video, Jade, Briar and Kirby each have a different color. So you have some cool, “outside of the box” options when it comes to branding. In addition, the lid is sweet. It’s leakproof (as Briar proved in the video) and you can adjust it for right or left-handed drinkers.
As for the drink…well the reviews were mixed. Watch the video to get the full reaction. But in short, Jade does not like beer. It doesn’t matter what brewers put in it to make it “more fall.”
We hope you enjoyed this episode of Thirsty Thursday as much as we did. Until next time, stay thirsty!
Each Thirsty Thursday, we feature a cool piece of branded drinkware. To learn more… head to our shop here.
For many, August means “back to school.” With that in mind, we want to give you a Master’s Degree in Merch this month! Well, this month we want to show you the 8 Promotional Products you need to know about in August. It’s the 8th month…and there are 8 products! Get it? This month we have items that are fun or functional (or both). And if you want to skip the line and go straight to order information…you can head here.
8 Promotional Products You Need To Know About In August
Our goal is to show you some timely, and hopefully trendy, promotional products that will hit many different price points. In addition, we will tell you what we love about the products…but also some drawbacks as well. Let’s dig in!
Battery Operated Handheld Milk Frother
With a high-speed rotating motor, this handheld frother ensures rapid and uniform frothing every time perfect for cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, hot chocolate and more. Powered using 2xAA batteries, the durable stainless steel whisk spins at 14,000 rpm! The On-Off slider is simple to use and makes for easy, one-handed frothing.
Positive: The people who like this will LOVE it! This is a cost-effective way to reach those who want to upgrade their drink experience.
Negative: It will take some explaining. Not everyone will “get it.” That being said, an opportunity to explain the product is often an opportunity to grow your brand.
Proline 12′ Tape Measure
Measure mastery for branding accuracy. The ProLine 12′ Tape Measure provides a reliable tool for precise measurements. Featuring a 12-foot pull and press-to-lock mechanism for hassle-free operation, the tape is a 1″ scale with 1/16″ increments. The rubberized finish ensures a comfortable grip during extended use, and the built-in wrist strap and belt clip enhance portability. Perfect for construction companies, builders, material suppliers, renovators, and home care.
Positive: This is incredibly functional. In nearly every office and organization, there is a need for a measuring tape. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities to build a campaign around “does the competition measure up?”
Negative: Some organizations are looking for “new and trendy” and this might not fit the bill for that.
.33 Oz. Stain Remover Pen
Who doesn’t want a product that removes mistakes? We all do! This functional, cost-effective stain remover pen is a great event piece that targets anyone trying to keep their brand clean!
Positive: Everyone makes messes, so this translates to most industries. In addition, this is more cost-effective than the brand-named alternative!
Negative: This item might skew female. So it’s important to know your audience.
Left/Right Scissors
You can always tell our favorite products by whether or not we do them for ourselves. We have done these scissors more than once! They are functional, great quality, and have a wonderful imprint area. These are great pieces of branded merch that people will keep for years.
Positive: Everyone can use a great pair of scissors. But often, you can’t find them when you need them. This solves that! Your brand will be on the fridge or in the cubicle for years!
Negative: The only thing we can come up with is that they are tough to travel with. These are cool unless your organization might think they could get “a bit stabby.” lol
Oversized Carry-All Tote
The versatile size of this tote makes it perfect for traveling, vacations, and other outdoor events. Very large open main compartment with a wire rim that gives the bag its shape and sturdiness. Choose from trendy chevron colorways or the always-popular graphite finish.
Positive: Many of the items on this list are based on functionality. This is no different. Everyone can use this tote at the beach, pool, or any place you carry…well…anything.
Negative: While super functional, this item might skew a little female. So if you have a male-dominated audience, this might not be for you.
Wizzard Comfort Spinner Pen with Stylus
The Wizzard Comfort Stylus Spinner Pen seamlessly blends stress relief with an enjoyable writing experience. This executive metal pen features a stylish houndstooth pattern fidget spinner that effortlessly whizzes with a flick of a thumb. Paired with the matte soft-touch barrel and gunmetal trim, it creates the perfect promotional pen. Your brand will stand out with the large imprint area, and the smooth writing ink with push retraction ensures a joyous writing experience.
Positive: These pens are addictive! And the cost of this one will not break the bank. If you do these pens, get ready for people to ask for them!
Negative: While there are definitely more expensive spinner pens, these are not inexpensive writing instruments. That being said, we think it’s worth it when people ask for your branded merch by name!
Breakaway Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Break away from a boring listening experience! With the Breakaway speaker, you can get a true stereo sound. Simply twist the left and right side and you can separate one speaker into two, filling even large rooms with high-quality surround sound. A silicone sleeve makes it easy to twist back together and take with you wherever you go.
Positive: There are lots of positives on this one. Great sound. High perceived value. And cool factor! What do you mean it turns into TWO speakers?
Negative: While these are a great value, they are more expensive than some of the other items on this list.
30 oz. Bronx Stainless Travel Mug with Carrying Handle
Introducing the 30 oz. Bronx Stainless Travel Mug with Carrying Handle! This mug features a wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning, a screw-on lid with a convenient drinking spout and straw, and impressive insulation that keeps your drinks hot for up to 4 hours and cold for up to 8 hours.

Positive: We love the functionality of this piece of drinkware. It has a great look for your brand, and it’s perfect for a lifestyle that is on the go! Oh…and the price point is great!

Tasting the Mystery Drink
As our hosts take their first sip of the mystery drink, their faces light up with surprise. The drink is incredibly sweet, with a fruity flavor that instantly reminds them of a pixie stick. The hosts speculate about the drink’s content, with guesses ranging from a sweetened fruit punch to a candy-flavored cocktail. The drink’s vibrant color and sweet aroma only add to the mystery.
The moment of revelation finally arrives. The mystery drink is a blue raspberry-flavored BeatBox beverage with an alcohol content of 11.1%. The hosts are taken aback by the unexpected combination of flavors. The sweetness of the blue raspberry, combined with the kick of the alcohol, makes for a unique drinking experience. It’s like drinking a pixie stick but with a twist!
Reviewing the Drink and the Bottle
The hosts give their final verdict on the mystery drink and the eco-friendly bottle. The drink receives mixed reviews. While some hosts enjoy the sweet, fruity flavor, others find it a bit too overpowering. The high alcohol content is also a point of discussion, with some hosts appreciating the kick it adds to the drink, while others feel it’s a bit too much.
The eco-friendly bottle, on the other hand, receives unanimous praise. The hosts appreciate its stylish design, practical features, and eco-friendly construction. They agree that the bottle is a great investment, offering not just functionality but also a way to support sustainability.
