Million Dollar Idea…

Tonight I was having a discussion with a friend about how boys tend to get fat and lazy once they are in a serious relationship…don’t bother to deny it lads, you know it’s true.  Usually, this is the plight of the 20-somethings, out in the real world for the first time–the appeal of free gym membership living in the college dorms have been replaced by $40 a month fitness clubs you actually have to drive to and all those intermural sporting events on Tuesday nights have been replaced by trivia night/happy hour/DVR catch up time.  And, by that time, most boys have either kept on dating the sorority girl they hooked up with at Junior year’s crush party, or have started something hot and heavy with the office receptionist.  There is no longer a need to run across campus to class or impress the ladies at spring break with your killer abs–they can switch away from light beer, order that King sized Double Whopper Extra Value Meal, and still have a cute girl waiting at home for them each night.

I find this horrible–girls are still expected to stay cute and skinny and be that trophy wife at the office Christmas party each year, kick our yogalates classes up to 5 a week after childbirth to get back into our skinny jeans in 8 weeks or less, and love you just the same even though your extra 30 pounds are smooshing us!  And on top of that, we want to stay cute and skinny…we have some pride, and some bitchy friends to face at those high school reunions down the road.

This led to one incredible solution…a million dollar idea, perhaps.  I know, I shouldn’t share it here, I should take the initiative, write a business plan, find investors, and cash in on this, but let’s face it, I’m too lazy to even write a daily blog, I’ll never keep up with a start up company.   So, I’m sharing this idea, in hopes that someone will make it happen, and, as a thank you, send me lots and lots of free samples so I can get all the boys in my facebook albums looking fit and cute.  I have a rep to maintain here…

Introducing:  The Get Fit Koozie (copyright pending…as soon as I apply for one…)

Ladies, we know how much your man enjoys a beer (or 10) after a long day of work, at that excellent tailgate, or while riding in his golf cart during his Sunday morning “physical activity”.  But all of that time spent boozing is keeping his butt out of the gym.  Finally, there’s a way to combine the two–The Get Fit Koozie is a super insulating Koozie which will keep his beer cold and make him do arm curls for each sip!  This simple koozie will feature slim lead weights that can be added in intervals of 5 pounds, allowing him to work his way up to drunk.  We recommend starting at 5 pounds, and adding additional weight for every 6-pack he consumes.  After he drinks from this for several years, he will either have a super strong right bicep, or have switched to wine…either way, it’s a fitter fellow for you to enjoy!
