HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIPS: What to look for when buying an inflatable beer pong table.

Did you know portOpong was the first inflatable beer pong table company in the world and originators on the market? As the founders of inflatable tables, we take great pride in our invention and want to make sure you (the consumer) know what you are looking at so that you can make your own knowledgable decision on which portable beer pong table you want to proudly call your own!

1. 
   The PORTOPONG table is the only table to come with recessed cup holders. This is important when playing outside - you wouldn’t want cups to blow away or slide all over the table while you are in the pool, and while your trying to have fun! One feature of the portOpong is when you start to remove cups they don’t wobble and move around. Here is a PRO TIP…. fill each cup holder with ice cubes to make sure you have ice cold drinks throughout your game time.
2. PORTOPONG is also the only inflatable beer pong table that has 4 grommets. These grommets are key for strapping down your table when it is windy, also you can tie it up to a EZ Up, or while playing in the pool if you want…. to anchor it in one location. PRO TIP…. don’t anchor the table…. if you are the tall guy playing… let your short friend get stuck in the deep end!!!
3. We also include 4 heavy duty strings with each PORTOPONG - these work great with the grommets and even more so when you want to suspend your PORTOPONG inside a pop-up tent…. not only did we think of all the features… we even give you the rope!!!
4. Make sure the inflatable beer pong table you are buying is of the highest quality material. When we invented the PORTOPONG we wanted to make sure our table was crafted out of the thickest possible vinyl available, to insure our customers’ satisfaction. Our table weighs 6lbs compared to other tables that weigh much less, which shows our materals are of much higher quality. This means our well built table will last you a long time. (heck its strong enough to support a 280lb person sleeping on it - trust us - we watched it happen). We could have made this out of cheaper low quality vinyl.. but we didn’t because we are beer pong enthusiast ourselves…. and as the innovators.. we wanted it right for our valuable customers’!!!!
5. Air nozzles- we got 2. Use your lungs or use an electric pump to inflate your table. Using the large air nozzle…. in less than 60 seconds your table will be up and running using a pump… or inflate the old fashion way! When your ready to pack up the party and go… just open the larger nozzle to deflate in seconds.
6. Other important info - we include directions for care and use, as well as a simple guide to play and re-rack the cups. Most importantly - email us at [email protected] any question and you will get an answer promptly. You can also leave a message with our answering service and be guarenteed a call back within 24 hours. Our site says we ship 3-4 days, only to allow us to keep up with the demand - but really we ship on a daily basis. So now that you know the facts…. buy the leading and most popular inflatable beer pong table!!! portOpong!! Thousands of customers can’t be wrong…. just ask Maxim, Blender, Rolling Stone, and many others.

BEER PONG: The evolution of one of Americas most popular college games.

The History of Beer Pong

By Salvatore Laudano & Jerry Piscitelli

Beerpong, Beirut, BP, Pong, or whatever you want to call this game has been a favorite on college campuses, backyard BBQs, tailgate parties, and any kegger thats been thrown since… well since when?

Where exactly did this game come from? Who really came up the game that has transformed that closet door into hours of fun?

Everyone seems to have their own version of where it all began; some claim that someone had an older brother who went to school with some guy who had been there for a decade, and came up with the game when he was at one of the hundreds of keg parties he was at. Or another guy claims to have come back to his small town and get all his buddies to believe that he came up with this new game. The problem is people believe all these fairy tales, so where did it all start?

The legend started sometime in the 1950s at Dartmouth, where some Ivy League frat boys were playing a game of ping pong. When one of the pledges had set his cup on the end of the table during a game and bingo! One of the brothers had sunk the cup and made this future banker drink the cup, and by doing so started one of the biggest college drinking games ever. By a simple mistake they struck a cord with everyone around – it would play for generations.

Seeing the brain-power that was at the school the boys got together and started making up rules to a game where two teams played ping pong with paddles, attempting to hit the ball into cups that were arranged into different formations. These future leaders of America played the first form of beer pong, that us drunks can recall. This form of the game holds the name Beer Pong and as time moved on the game like everything else began to evolve. Wit the availability of plastic cups the game started to change.

Having more cups on the table and the chance of smashing one with a drunken paddle swing or the accidental danger of swinging the paddles near each others face while drinking (try explaining why you got the stitches to your mom and dad) the game kept moving forward and evolving, and spreading in popularity, like one of the sorority girls after playing a couple of rounds, and then something happened.

People began throwing the balls instead of hitting them. The players saw that this was just as much of a challenge in throwing the ball as there was to hitting them, and it made the games move a lot quicker. For them this meant more games against each other and more times they had to fill the cups up, we told you they were the smart guys on campus.

Now where and when this began to happen is still, like us after playing it, a little blurry. A Princeton college news paper has this beginning at either Bucknell University or Lehigh University sometime in the late 70’s early 80’s. Lafayette University, Lehigh’s rival school, insists that the game started there. But with no proof, there is no glory. I could say I slept with the hottest girl on the planet but without the proof it is just a cool story, and a wet dream! Where ever the form of the game began it is the one that withstood the test of time, and is played by just about every college kid in America.

When the balls began to fly the name of the game took the turn as well. During the time the respective inventors of the modern game began playing; Lebanon was engulfed in civil war. With Beirut being the capital, it became the name of the game where people got to drop “bombs” on there friends and family. So when the argument comes up whether the name is beer pong or Beirut, the correct answer is Beirut, but as long as the beer is cold nobody is really going to care.

As for the rules of the game, they changed more times then your girlfriends mind while reading the dinner menu. Everyone plays by a different set of rules, so there is no way of stating the official rules unless you look at the tournament website you are going to be competing at, but even they vary. Rules have come from ‘double sink and the game is over’, to the ‘on-fire rule’ where if a player hits three shots in a row they get to shoot till they miss. Most pong players adjust to the house rules, no matter how off the wall they may be.

Pong players have come up with so many ways to change the game from its original conception. There is the double rack, with 2 racks of 6. There is the standard rack where there is a rack of 10 cups. The jumbo rack with 15 cups, the list goes on and on. BP players you a so many different surfaces to play the game as well, from the start on the ping pong table, to the closet door, to the ply-wood. People have gone as far as building them out of glass; intricate bar top tables, inflatable tables, tables that have designs that would blow peoples minds.

As the game continues to grow so do the industries around it, kind of a beer pong revolution. There are companies that make tables for people to travel with, tables that float, and racks that hold the cups in a perfect formation. Ping pong balls are no longer used for the game that they were designed to play, and companies have come up with the ways to print logos, and team names on the balls. The game that the college kids came up with by accident has become a million dollar industry.

This game has become a phenomenon, spawning cash tournaments like the World Series of Beer Pong that puts up a $50,000 prize for winning. Not a bad way to make a couple of bucks, except the beer belly you may develop from training. Bars use the game as a way to draw people to them, people play at concerts, sporting events, basically anywhere there is beer and a competitive nature.

I know a few guys that started playing for money instead of beer – thus ‘Casino Pong; is born, this variation is where teams give cups a dollar value and whoever sinks the cup gets the money, break this out instead of poker at you next party your wallet might be sorry, but at least no hang over.

Beer Pong has become a national past time for most of the young adults across America. So we would like to thank all the people that have helped develop the game, from the frat boys at Dartmouth in the 50’s, to the people that started got tired of swinging paddles and started throwing the ball in the 70’s. Thanks for all the hangovers and drunken hook ups, thanks for all the spin offs of the game and all fights that start over it. If you are a fan and player of the game, keep playing, and if you haven’t played… what are you waiting for?
