I recently had an opportunity to sample a few cups from ChillyTwist.com. My sample two cups were shipped very quickly to my doorstep. Now these cups are not your average ones that just hold a beverage, but they are designed to keep beverages cold for the entire duration. Let me take a few moments of your time and explain just how they work.

First, notice that the cups are a two part system. The base, which contains the coolant gel, was placed in the freezer for the night. When I was ready to sample the cup, I simply pulled the base from the freezer and screwed it into the cup. The base actually screws up into the main cup to keep your beverage nice and cold. It took less than five seconds to assemble, very simple and easy.

Second is the main cup, which like the base, come in a variety of colors. Therefore with over 50+ color combinations, you will be able choose your own color palette of ChillyTwist cups. The plastic material is very sturdy. I took these cups with the base on them and dropped them, banged them on my desk, rolled them, and eventually washed and drank out of them. Per ChillyTwist, these cups are BPA and Lead Free which is the same material that composes children's sippy cups. These cups can be machine washed, always a plus in my household. Since they are made from plastic, there will be no broken glass to deal with when the party gets going. Just pick it up, wash it, and refill it!!

Now the good stuff, the test. I poured my beverage into my assembled cup while cooking dinner one night. We all know how it is when we are cooking; more time is spent watching, prepping, and cooking rather than enjoying a cold drink. So, as I found time, I would take a drink. Still COLD. When it was time to eat, my drink was STILL COLD. It was like this for the entire duration of my meal. I can see these keeping a frozen drink actually frozen for long periods of time minus the brain freeze.

My conclusion? These cups are actually pretty awesome. They are a nice addition to the household and would be a great compliment to anyone's tailgate experience. With all of the color combinations, safety features, ease of use, and most importantly the coldness of the drink, one can not go wrong with these cups.
