Two Crowd-Funded Inventions That Could Up Your Tailgate Party Game
Two Crowd-Funded Inventions That Could Up Your Tailgate Party Game-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:23

Parking lot party enthusiast Matt MacLean has invented (and successfully Kickstarter-funded) an all-in-one compostable . Burger bro Matt Hureau wants to put a lift kit on your cheeseburgers.

The Instagate (see what they did there) is basically a cardboard kit that carries everything you need for posting up and doing some beers and burgers just about anywhere. Beers and burgers not included.

For $39, an Instagate kit packs:

A Recyclable CoolerA Recyclable GrillAll Required Grilling Tools: Spatula, Tongs, BBQ Fork (All Recyclable As Well)Eco-friendly Cups (12), Plates (10), Napkins (20) & Utensils (10 sets)A Custom Reusable "Instagate" Lighter/Bottle OpenerCondiments (20 packets) (Ketchup, Mustard, Salt, Pepper)Disposable Bags For Easy Clean-UpCooler Space For Up To 30 CansFold Out Table PlatformsA Pong Table And Custom Reusable "Instagate" Ping Pong Balls (2)

180 backers got the project a few grand passed the $25,000 fundraising goal, and those folks will be getting the first Instagate shippments soon. Apparently the rest of us will be able to "in the next couple of months."

Seems like a neat idea for the casual tailgater who isn't ready to invest in a Yeti cooler, and chucking out is always easier than cleaning right?

Professionally unrelated but definitely overlapping in usage is today's second interesting barbecue accessory: the "Burger Lift." It's quite simply a small metal tray that elevates a juicy burger off a plate to mitigate sogginess seeping in.

Invented by Matt Hureau, designed by Jasmine Katatikarn, and is being produced by Mike Tanzillo, the Burger Lift has also already beaten it's $10,001 kickstarter goal by more than a thousand bucks.

Everybody who didn't get in on the fundraising can though, with the first Burger Lifts slated to ship in December.

Hat tip to Sydney!
