Forget beer pong - Prosecco pong is the drinking game you’ve been waiting for

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Look, we’ve all been there – hot day, great company, booze is flowing and before you know it that old table has been set up for beer pong. However, there is one crucial dilemma that until now no one had even thought to challenge – not everyone likes beer.

So, with that in mind a US-based company called Talking Tables turned it all around and is now shipping their Prosecco Pong kits globally.

The box itself includes 12 prosecco coupes and three sturdy pink ping pong balls to keep you going.

It’s important to note that it’s actually a lot harder to get the ball in the coupes, given they’re smaller than the traditional red solo cup – but hey, that’s just another reason for the bros to get involved and prove their worth. After all, pink is a real man's colour!

When it comes to the prosecco (that’s not included by the way), there’s so many choices out there - from the cheaper approachable sort, to the more expensive premium ranges.

You’re also not restricted to just using prosecco (don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone), there’s a hell of a lot of English Sparkling Wines, cava’s, Champagnes, sparkling reds and more out there too.

Finally, while ‘chugging booze’ may sound fun, remember that sparkling wines have a lot more ABV than your standard cheap beer, so maybe sip instead and of course and make sure to drink responsibly!
