Let's not forget that party balls are ideal for sneaking into dorm rooms...

Someone will figure out how to reuse them.

With the huge number of corks available you'd think someone would be able to cork up a party ball.

I didn't think about using a cork or a blowtorch. I think the top has a lot of cardboard in it, so a new top would probably have to be constructed. I can give you all a definite answer as to what they are exactly made of on Sunday as we will have a bunch of empties.

before the local brewery closed shop, they used to sell em. called em draught balls. 55 beer for around 30 bucks or so. cheaper if you kept the old pump from your last one. man, many a drunken night with those. we filled up my roommates closet with them once.

I remember those lol. Man I haven't seen one of those around in over ten years. I see some people are saying you can still buy them but I got to liquor stores all the time and they definitely don't sell them here in Florida.

Last time I saw beer balls was when this guy at a bar was hitting on a woman way out of his league.

Beer balls: Trying a friend’s homebrew when you don't even know what his kitchen looks like.

Whoa, this thread brings back lots of memories of high school parties.

One guy I graduated with used to take those things, fill them up with gas, get 200' of fuse (can't remember what he used as a fuse) and blow them up out in the middle of nowhere. Mini mushroom clouds. FIRE! FIRE!

I liked how they came with their own ice bag. I still had one of these taps until a few years ago.

In college we went to a local park to have a bonfire in the woods and we were walking next a ravine where a creek was below. The guy holding the party ball slipped on the edge and at the same time the cardboard handle cutout ripped and the party ball rolled all the way down into the creek. It didn't break and we drank half foam cups of beer that night. I remember like it was yesterday even though it was 13 years ago. Fun times!
