Convert Your Tumbler To Fit Bottles & Cans

Story

Your Tumbler is GOOD, Let’s make it GREAT!

Tumbler Buddy uses a stacked design made of high quality stainless steel to compliment your existing tumbler like never before. Before today, you could only use your tumbler to keep liquid cold that was already cold when you poured it in. You also were never able to use your tumbler to drink your favorite beverage directly from the bottle, can, or skinny canwithout it going warm. That ends TODAY!

 

THE PROBLEM:

You know the pains of warm beer, soda, or whatever else you drink. So well, that you tell yourself you like the taste. No, you’ve probably never said that. Sure, you could buy a $35beer insulator, a $25 can insulator, another $20 can insulator because you want to try those fancy skinny cans, and not to mention the $30 tumbler you already own to pour liquid into. That’s a costly $110 just because they want to sell you more! More! More!

Or… Just drop a Tumbler Buddy in your Yeti. PROBLEM SOLVED!

You probably already own one of the 20oz. tumblers above. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be here. What you didn’t realize when you bought it is that you’re very limited. IT ONLY HOLDS LIQUID! You can’t simply place a can or bottle in it. 

Tumbler Buddy is the all-in-one solution to your problems.

Tumbler Buddy fits bottles, cans, skinny cans, and naturally you can use your tumbler  to keep liquid cold or hot.

You no longer need 4 devices to keep your drink cold. Free up your cabinet space and your headache. Tumbler Buddy has arrived!

We could list thousands of beers and sodas that it fits, but lets make this simple:

 

Example of some bottles that fit using Tumbler Buddy.

If it’s a pretty normal 11oz-12oz glass beer bottle, it fits. If it’s pretty close to normal, it also fits. Honestly, if it’s a bottle, there’s a very good chance it fits.

Example of some cans that fit using Tumbler Buddy.

If it’s an 11oz, 12oz, 15oz, or 16oz can, it probably fits. Doesn’t matter if it’s normal, tall, skinny, fat or in-between.

 

WHAT TUMBLERS WE KNOW IT FITS:

The above pictured are just some of the many tumblers that Tumbler Buddy fits.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Forget to put your beverage in the fridge but are thirsty now?

I’ve got some good news for you! Inside the stainless steel walls of Tumbler Buddy, there is a quick freeze gel that will cool down your beverage in a Tumbler. Combined with the Tumbler of your choice, Tumbler Buddy creates a cool, freezer like atmosphere to quickly cool down the warm beverage you just put into it.

All you need to do is keep your Tumbler Buddy in the freezer and now your beverage will be super chilled! Take your drinking game to the next level with Tumbler Buddy.

Tumbler Buddy comes to you from the firefighter behind Grill Rescue and Beer Buddy.

If you don’t know: 

Grill Rescue truly is the world’s greatest grill brush and we proved this by completing a Kickstarter campaign raising over $210,000 going on to sell millions shortly thereafter. 

Beer Buddy is the world’s first all-in-1 beverage insulator. This was also proven by the more than 941% successful Kickstarter campaign, and now an Amazon favorite.

 

…so we know a little bit about world class products.

 

So, why Indiegogo?

We learned that this is by far the best platform to bring new product to life and give people the opportunity to help back this project at a discount. Grill Rescue sold on Indiegogo for less than half of it’s current retail price. The discounts on Indiegogo are no joke.

THE PROCESS:

Designing Tumbler Buddy was very very difficult. Wanting something that doesn’t exist is easy, creating it is hard; Very very hard. It took over a year to design and create the perfect version of Tumbler Buddy. Constantly adding minute details and changes that you may not notice at first glance. Take a look below and get a 30 second view of the last year creating the perfect version of Tumbler Buddy.

We created Tumbler Buddy out of frustration of companies trying to sell you 4 different insulators when we knew just one could do the job of all 4. We know most people already own an insulated tumbler, so we thought, “What if you don’t need to buy a new one at all!?” That’s when Tumbler Buddy was born.
