Jun 22 2009Go Plates: Stacking Food On Your Beer

go plates.jpg

Go Plates are reusable party plates (not to be confused with party hats) that sit on top of your beer can, bottle or plastic cup, allowing you a free hand for playing grab-ass with all your friends or whatever it is people do at parties (I've never been to one). A pack of 42 will set you back $48.50, which isn't too bad considering their reusable (read: I'll lay them all out on the floor and let the dog lick them before putting them back in the cabinet). Party at my house!

Someone's made money off this & I am sorry I didn't think of it, what a brilliant idea

pretty cool if you're a commander one-hander

Effing brilliant! DO WANT.

That actually is a good idea.... Why am I working and not making simple genius inventions?

i approve

i also like the ones that rest on your forearm

"their reusable"? I think you mean "they're".

I tried this before. The food kept dumping in my lap everytime I went for a drink.

um... I would assume you remove the plate for a second to take a drink then replayce the plate when you want something off of it.

Thats why everyone at parties should be wearing those beer hats with the sippy things...

DUDDEE how did I not think of this??
best idea ever

give me one this is brilliant^^

also: I forgot to say it doesn't look very stable when using a cup or can instead of a bottle

@9. Haven't you ever heard the golden rule to not "assume"?

It makes an "ass-u-me"

Besides, removing the plate every time I want a drink sounds like way too much work.

I'll just skip the food.

@8
You are doing it wrong!

FAKE!!!!!

Its a total whack job, you can tell because I am so stupid I can't post anything else EVER!!!!! I know that you all love reading the exact same post, in the vain hope I will sonehow become 'cool' for doing the same thing over and over again.

Normally I have a feed bag around my neck, but this could be nice.

What the frick is the point of that? You still can't drink with the plate...Might as well use a regular plate.

@16

Speaking of vain, why don't you take that razor you keep with you for cutting and open up a big vein and see how far you can run before passing out dead.

@18

Straws. Big, pink, twisted staws. Lots of them.

So yeah I kind of invented this before hand.

Except it was called Suds Food Buds.


It was only a hit around the midwest.

@21 I've been meaning to ask what happened to suds food buds, haven't seen that in months

@20...
God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people...

Bottom left picture: California rolls, strawberries, big blocks of yellow cheese, and a bread roll… there's going to be some colorful puke to mop up at that party.

@ all the "drinktards"

add a straw and BINGO


though beer with a straw is not only gay, but also a foamy suckfest (no pun intended)

@24

This is one very intelligent individual! You lock your scuzzy bodies up behind that private and do exactly what he does, and you will go far in this man's army! Is that clear?!

@26. But what if I added a straw? Would that work?

You're so smart, how did you come up with that. If only someone around post 20 thought of something like that. And too bad that the someone at post 20 didn't also make a gay reference for using a straw, too.

@26

Your mother is a foamy suckfest.

HIII OOHHHH!

Now for some reason I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It's not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight and always answer every question with "Yes, drill sergeant."

^HA!

GFS Ready.......... aiiiiiiiiiiiim.................

FIRE!

I missed.....

@29 HA!

YES, DRILL SERGEANT!

GUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?

Jesus H Christ!

This is a new company record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump, now disassemble your weapon and continue!

That is genius! Not just for parties but everyday use at home, it would half the amount of trips from the kitchen.

It's been a few years sice I've seen that gem. I think I'll steal it when I get home.


GRAMMAR FAIL!

"they're reusable" not "their reusable".

dude its they are ( alt. they're ) and not their... GOD!

Plates I don't need no steenkin' plates, I just stand at the food table and eat right out of the bowls and platters someone so thoughfully decided to provide.
I get to put one drink on the table and hold the other drink in my hand.

grammar nazi ftw!

Well, I'm sorry, Timmy...but I don't dip that way.

No. You dip the way you want to dip... I'll dip the way I want to dip.

@41. Dude, it's (it is)***

Cameron the snake-eater? You still around?

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was at a party and went to the bathroom. There was a magic eye picture on the wall in there and Max got hypnotized by it, and forgot that he took his shirt off to take a crap. He reentered the party topless and embarrassed Baja.

@48: You are real, and you are spectacular!!

C/Mon....

How can this work...sure you get to hold all your favourite bar snacks or BBQ treats in one hand.....but how do you take a sip of beer?

Wont all the lovely little tummy treasures fall out the sombrero shaped plate??

yes they will...YESH THEY WILL.

Plus, Minus and Plus again, if you can take the plate off the bottle with one hand to facilitate the greedy beer craving gremlin inside you...then why not just use two hands in the begining.

Aaaah yes. Hindsight is great....except when itsd a fat hairy hind that is in front of my FACE. Get away Mom.

I like!

FIRST !

BRILLIANT

DO WANT!

Sweet 8 lb. 12 oz. Baby Jesus. Everyone knows you put your plate down to do a keg stand.

These plates are for the fools that drink soda and feel rebellious wearing sandals with no socks.

worst design ever... some poor sap is going to hammer a plate full of wings right into his face thinking its going to be a refreshing gulp of beer...

cheers hahah !! cool

omg that's brilliant

i want those

What are these "plates" everyone keeps talking about. At the parties I go to you just walk up to the counter of food and stuff your face, drink, and repeat. Much easier and women love men who act like ravenous wolves........howling at the moon.

This is a great idea. Innovative ideas like these always work. With a plate like this you can stack up and be relieved of the worry of foraging for grub in a party.

My car "Mahindra Xylo" has flight trays in the back of the seats. This makes partying in my car very much possible. The flight trays are pretty handy. P.S. I don't drink and drive. My driver does the driving.

And if you like to win COOL Holiday Packages, the Mahindra Xylo color contest is on. simply choose the best color of Xylo that you like and you have a chance. http://www.mahindraxylo.co.in/shoppe_contest.asp

@61: Thanking you most very deliciously, my good friend.

Since we've only one pair of hands,this could be useful!

What would do if you threw a party for 600 truckers and ran out of beer. Here's what happened to me...
http://soyouwanttobeabanquetmanager.blogspot.com/2009/07/600-people-and-no-more-beer.html

This is one of those ideas that seems good in pictures but in real life sucks.

So it would only work with bottles, or cans, no way in hell a plastic cup can support weight of food like that or a wine glass or champagne. People go to parties ot drink and have a good time, WHen food is served people grab a plate then go sit down, some might have to stand but that is a minority. Then you eat holding this take it off when you want a drink then put it back on?

That is stupid, more trouble than its worth. To all those who think this is a good idea you obviously have not been to many parties.

Awesome! Best idea I've seen in a while!

Sounds good ... UNTIL YOU WANT TO TAKE A DRINK!

Another way that also works -----> put your drink down while you eat. It's free btw.

Anyone who drinks beer out of a straw doesn't appriciate beer ... plus it makes you look gay

good idea

yes nice design but likely more crap to float around in our oceans

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you can't use their/there/they're appropriately? Seriously, unless you are in the sixth grade you need to reexamine some things.
