PORTOPONG | Beer Pong News

Comic books and cartoons were (and still are) some of Team PORTOPONG's favorite things to read and watch on saturday mornings. Who we kidding they still are.

While inventing the world’s first inflatable floating beer pong table the occasionally time out to watch family guy or re-watch the latest Iron Man movie was given it’s proper time.

For the past few months we have posted about awesome summer parties and bikini babes but July also holds a connection to our comic book heros… it's Comic Con, July 21 – 24 in San Diego. So we decided to ask a few of our Facebook Fans and Customers who they would play PORTOPONG with if they could:

via Cape Cod Bar Pong (from FB) – Jean Grey, she is hot and really coordinated.
via Ryan (from FB) - I'd have to go with Dumbo, he's got to be a dead shot with that trunk, and if he leans, it wouldn't technically break the elbow rule right?
via Sarah (Customer) – I would pick Mr. Fantastic, he could just stretch across the table and slam dunk the pong ball in.
via Nick (Customer) – Iron Man of course he can calculate the best angle for bouncing and use his blasters to swat any pong ball attacks.

We loved reading everyone’s posts and emails.

Keep the celebration of comic book heroes alive and share with us on twitter.com/portopong - post "My ideal @portopong #comicbook is_________. And tell us why!

"Take me out to the pong game"…

That could be what your singing at your next beer pong tournament with the addition of our all new MLB Pong Balls from PORTOPONG party site. 

MLB Teams Available: New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies.

Also Available In NFL Teams.

All pong balls are 100% Officially Licensed by the MLB or NFL.

It's summer time and Team PORTOPONG has put together it's first Top 10 Tips to help get the party started. Read on and learn from experience the do's and don'ts for throwing an awesome party this summer with the world's #1 best selling inflatable beer pong table.

#1 INVITE ENOUGH GIRLS

PORTOPONG was designed to be played "anywhere on anything", however its initial design was for the pool. But keep in mind your guy to girl ratios. No one wants to see a bunch of dudes in a pool by themselves, so post on facebook to all your single lady friends that your having a party, go though your address app on your iphone - it's party time.

IMPORTANT: This is the most crucial tip for party success.

Floods, tornados, and other world disasters got you down? Then you best turn that frown upside down and count down the days to the Memorial Day weekend! Start planning your menu of hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta salad and amply supply of beverages for the much hailed BBQ fiesta weekend.

Come on now - what is more enjoyable than 3 days off in a row from the daily grind, allowing for time to relax, a chance to crack open a nice beer and maybe get a game of PORTOPONG going between friends.

Our inflatable beer pong tables are perfect for playing anywhere not just the pool. Play on top of your chairs, coolers, or smaller tables not suited for pong playing. And if you have a pop-up tent – use the strings that come with your PORTOPOG to suspend it in mid-air.

Try the RODEO SHOT as the last cup challenge – swing the table back and forth like a pendulum and yell “Rodeooooo!”

But in all seriousness – lets all raise a glass and hold it high this Memorial Day as we remember the fallen soldiers who fought for this country so we can have the rights we take for granted sometimes and lets our flag soar so proudly.

QUICK FACT: Did you know that Memorial Day was originally named Decoration Day? Americans would decorate the graves of military veterans.

DON’T FORGET FATHERS DAY…
And not to over shadow the fathers out there – take care of your dad this year. Get him in on the fun – make PORTOPONG a family event. Don’t think you have to play the traditional way, try using water or juice to involve everyone in this American pastime.

Also – check out our PORT-O-BABES for dear old dad… Bouncing Boobie Can Cooler that will sure to make him smile every time he cracks open a cold one on the mower this summer.

Spring is in the air and that means it’s time to open up those pools and get ready for summer pool parties and backyard barbecues. It also means it’s about that time of the year when all the summer concert series are announced and what’s better then tailgating with a portable inflatable beer pong table from PORTOPONG — we can’t think of many.

All the Parrot Heads are gearing up for some good old fashion Jimmy Buffet concerts, but hopefully he doesn’t fall off the stage again or get waste away in a courthouse with Charlie Sheen for trying to add Tigers Blood Energy Drink to his Landshark line of beers.

Upgrade your tailgate with the worlds first inflatable beer pong table and check your local Ticketmaster for the concert series of choice and get ready for summer fun with PORTOPONG.

So create a facebook event and invite some of your friends use the grill and cooler as your social network now that the harsh winter has melted away. It’s time to head to portopong.com and get this party started!

March is an exciting time of year at the PORTOPONG HQ we start to think warm weather thoughts and try to forget the ice storm that blanketed the United States. It also marks the time of year that everybody claims to be Irish… YES… that means it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day. Who doesn’t love leprechauns running a muck or heading out to an Irish Pub for a pint with a side of bangers and mash or for some corn beef brisket. It’s a time when going green doesn’t mean you have to drive a hybrid and talk about fuel made from corn, it means you can break out your green jager bomb cups with pride or wear your “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirt again.

March also means you have a reason to be an addicted gambler. No other month can you get in as many bets for college basketball than march… who isn’t is apart of a March Madness Pool or A Final Four Bracket at work or at school, even your co-worker who only knows teams by the cute mascot photos gets excited about sports!

But the real reason we love March is it marks the time of the year when we can start to think about spring break and the weather getting warm enough to start opening up the pool. (TIP: Planning to go on Spring Break? See our article on 10 easy tips to help prepare for spring break.)

That’s right college students across the nation head to destinations like Cancun, Jamaica, Miami, and Las Vegas to forget their term papers and problems; “Except for herpes. That shit’ll come back with you.” (Quoted by Sid Garner from the Hangover)

So in the words of Cutty Love, PORTOPONG’s #1 train model spokes model for PORTOPONG - “With PORTOPONG you can play anywhere, on anything. From the mountains, to the prairies, to the Jacuzzis white with foam.”, get your portable beer pong table and make march memorable!

With all the craze in reality tv these days we had to take a moment from our fist pumping jersey shore style to remind everyone of another MTV reality show that was once king…. The real world and Road rules. Portopong was lucky enough to party with a few cast members back in the day in Rhode Island at club level 2.

Trischelle, Mark and Steve were just a few of the cast members to get a first glimpse ever of Portopong. Check out this blast from our past on our photo gallery.
