A Beverage Built for Two

Suck and Blow Jello Shooters Are a Two-In-One Party Hit that Brings People and Profits All The Closer

Wine is fine, but as more and more beverage retailers are finding out, it is finer still — for upping the fun level — when delivered in wine-based gelatin shots called Suck & Blow, a popular, interactive drink device that allows customers to fulfill two prime motivations for going out and going to parties — enjoying a beverage and interacting with others –– at the same time.

Totally Tubular

The six-inch plastic tubes, available in Cherry, Wild Berry, Orange and The Bomb flavors, definitely have been doing their part to take the snootiness out of wine consumption, all the while playing match-maker and true profit wonder for retailers since their launch three years ago by SAB Enterprises LLC (Suck & Blow) of Greenville, S.C.

These two-to-Tango, ready-to-serve cocktails, which take their name from the fact that one participant blows the gelatin from one end of the tube, while the other sucks it up from the opposite end, have caught on around the country as a fun and romantic way to introduce interactive cocktailing and wine to consumers.

“It is really just the interaction between two people,” says SAB President Doug Hamer, who finds enthusiasm for Suck & Blow among consumers and distributors to be rampant wherever he goes in search of expanding a distribution network that already includes South Carolina, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Nevada, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Ohio, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona and Illinois, and countries such as New Zealand, Japan and Canada.

Only the beginning of a much broader distribution strategy, Suck & Blow soon will be available in Florida and Texas as well, Hamer says. “We want to be nationwide as fast as we can. We want distributors to learn about the product and know it as the first interactive beverage that affords them the opportunity to make great margins.”

 Already, more than two million have been sold in beverage retail outlets as well as bars and clubs around the country since Hamer and business partner and Vice President Brian Higgins came up with the idea for Suck & Blow while on a visit to a Carolina beach.

“A girl had a Jell-O shot in a cup, and the guy beside her was funneling a beer,” Hamer remembers. “I thought, wouldn’t that be neat to bring the two together.” 

Blowin’ and Goin’

Returning home, Hamer went to Home Depot and bought the kind of tubing that college students used to funnel beer. He cut it into six-inch pieces, put caps on one end and filled them with gelatin shots before capping the other ends. “I made up 150 and we took them to the beach. When we would pull up, people went absolutely crazy,” he says.

The pair tested their unique product, typically sold by retailers for $1.99 per unit and available in six packs of 16, over a two-year period before going into business with it.

Today, this simple idea has grown into an enterprise with a bottling plant in Coco, Fla., and a market goal of 50 million units annually. More than just a drink fad, Suck & Blow is contagious, Higgins says, using as an example the testimonial of one distributor in Arizona who took Suck & Blows with him to a tailgating event for a race. Within 10 minutes, the man said, there were 100 people surrounding his car doing them.

“We will be the next Red Bull of the world,” Hamer says. Distributors can contact SAB Enterprise at (864) 242-6000.      BR

Testimonials

“My girlfriends and I went for a ladies night out to a small local bar-apparently the only bar known for Suck & Blow jello shooters! I had never heard of these jello shooters before and was not sure what to expect! We had more shooters than beers and a lot more laughs! We had a small contest to see who could suck and blow the jello shooter tube clean! My girlfriend did it! We should have had a camera...”

“I started using Suck & Blow jello shooters our monthly game nights at my home. They have become the hit of the parties. Now people even come just to find out about sucking and blowing at our parties. It has been the life of the party. Even at our Halloween Party Dracula, was blowing everyone there instead of sucking. Can you just imagine? People lined up...it was a real blast.”

“We ordered some Suck & Blow jello shooters for our cook-off team at the Houston livestock show and rodeo two years ago and had so much fun with them that now the sponsor asked if we are planning on having t Suck & Blow jello shooters every year. We always run out early in the night. Thanks.”

“I have brought these Suck & Blow jello shooters to a few parties now, they are always the hit of the night! For this year's Halloween party we created a game using the Suck & Blows.... people form 2 lines, each person has a tube and sucks from the person in front of them, then turns around and blows with the person behind them. Kinda like the "passing the orange under the neck" game but with Suck & Blow jello shooters!”

“We puchased 75 Suck & Blow party tubes kit for an annual river trip. These things were the greatest, if there was a crowd gathering you could find the Suck & Blow jello shooters in the middle, our friends are looking to order just so we can have a Suck & Blow party!!!! If you want to be a hit at the party, bring a few Suck & Blow jello shooters with you!!!!”

“Just love your product. My girlfriend purchased Suck & Blow jello shooters tubes for my 52nd birthday party and they were the hit of the event. All of my friends were fighting over them and my 70 + year old parents couldn't resist and ended up doing 10 between them throughout the evening. Totally hysterical. We've taken Suck & Blow jello shooters to other parties since and they are always the center of attention. Keep up the good work. You guys really suck, or blow, or both!”

“We have had many jello shots before but these were awesome. Everyone was having a blast deciding who was going to suck and who would blow, not to mention how much fun it was to watch the participants! I couldn't wait to come home and check out your website. I will definitely be buying some of these tubes. Thank you!!!!!”

“Well let me tell you, these are the next best thing to sliced bread..... I have never had so much fun at our campground until we found these Suck & Blow jello shooters. We made 3 trips into town over the 4th of july week and not for anything but more Suck & Blow jello shooters....and we didn't just buy one or two we bought whatever the store had... i brought my tubes home and am going to try some of the recipes you have on the website. Thanks so much for this great product!”

“I am a police officer and I recently hosted a post hurricane Rita party, after things calmed down. I had never heard about Suck & Blow jello shooters, nor had anyone at the party. I only purchased thirty of them, only to find out that it was not nearly enough. The Suck & Blow jello shooters were a big hit and I plan on making another order soon. Hurricane Rita was a big strain on everybody at our department, but having the Suck & Blow jello shooters at the party helped everyone relax.”
