Leave it to a bunch of fraternity bros to come up with a plan to make beer pong "better." After their Slip Cup debuted on Kickstarter, the internet lost its mind over how "revolutionary" and "genius" the invention is. But let's take a step back and revaluate these bad boys. Because they're really not doing much of anything.
You're still drinking from the same set of 20 red Solo cups.
Think your party hosts are going to swap out the used plastic cups for new ones after every round? Think again. Instead you'll have to chug from the same plastic cup that three teams have already played through. Cringe.
This contraption might save the ball from getting icky, but it certainly doesn't save you from many gag-worthy germs.
They won't free you from the sad cheap beer used to fill said Solo cups.
Bud, Keystone, Natty Ice. That about sums up the options anyone considers when throwing a party where pong will be the main event. Think about this: Do you really want to drink grass water? Didn't think so.
Now, don't get me wrong: I love beer pong. (Like crazy love, to the point where I'll drag my friends to our neighborhood sports bar just to play a few rounds against Polo-clad dudes.) I just know there's a better way to play, which leads me to my final point…
Water cup will forever be better.
There's no spit-swapping, sticky ping pong balls, or crappy light beer (ugh, especially Corona) involved. Just fill each cup with as much water as you would beer and take a big swig of whatever drink you have in hand.
This way, you can drink whatever the hell you please, such as Sixpoint Jammer and the rest of summer's best brews, like a goddamn adult. (No judgment if you'd rather down some rosé or even boozy milkshakes.) Plus, you can gloriously end the game—and get bragging rights for all of time—if you land the ball in your opponent's drinking glass a.k.a. the DEATH CUP.
