We're crazy for football. There's no doubt how much this country loves the sport. It brings tradition, signals the end of a hot and crazy summer and the beginning of a cool and cozy fall. We get together with friends, have a few beers, enjoy a bevy of snacks and yell at our favorite team to "RUN!", "GO! GO! GO!", "TOUCHDOWN!" while we high-five each other, grab another beer and prepare for the next play. It gives us something to cheer for, obsess over and gives strangers a common ground, at least for a few hours.During the 2012 NFL season, 105 million people watched the first week of games, according to Pro Football Talk. Soak it in. Yes, roughly one-third of the U.S. population was watching football.
So tonight, while we gather around our stadiums and TVs to watch the first game of the 2013 season, we invite you to support your favorite team...and your favorite car manufacturer (Volkswagen, of course!) while using the following items:
Volkswagen Tailgate Football - $7.95
Volkswagen Apron set – $29.95
You've got a grill. A big grill, which means you need an apron. A big apron. You know, to protect your lucky jersey. Right. Moving on. So this apron comes with a bottle opener and an insulated pocket for your favorite chilled beverage. It also comes with an oven mit, but we know you won't use it.
Volkswagen Spatula - $34.95
Of course, you'll need some fancy cooking utensils to use at the grill while sporting your new apron set. Be sure to grab VW's giant spatula - which will flip just about anything you throw on the grill. Except a fan from the opposing team. We suggest sticking to burgers, hot dogs, veggies and of course the German favorite - bratwurst.
Volkswagen Collapsible Cooler - $56.95
While you're manning the grill wearing your apron and stamping the VW symbol into every bit of meat you possible can, your friends can throw you a refreshment from the VW Collapsible Cooler, which holds 48 cans of your favorite beer... err... soda. Or fruit cups. Yeah, we just realized how ridiculous that sounds.
V-Dub Barbecue and Buffalo Wing Sauce - $18.50
Did someone say "wings"? No tailgate or house party is complete without wings and sauce. Volkswagen mixed up the perfect blend of spices and herbs so you can get sticky with it. Caution: napkins and stain remover not included.
