Alright, let’s talk about this here beverage tub hammered thing, ya know, the one you put drinks in for parties and such.
First off, what in the tarnation is a “beverage tub” anyway? Sounds fancy. Back in my day, we just used a dang wash tub, or maybe a big ol’ bucket! But I guess times have changed, eh? Now they got these shiny metal things, all hammered and what not.
So, I looked around a bit, and it seems like these tubs come in all sorts of materials. Some are stainless steel, real strong and sturdy like. That’s probably good if you’re gonna be haulin’ it around a lot. Then there’s them aluminum ones. They’re lighter, I guess, but I don’t know if they’d hold up as well. And some are even double-walled, which means they keep your drinks cold longer. That sounds mighty useful on a hot summer day, don’t it? No one wants warm soda, that’s for sure.
Now, let’s talk about size. You gotta think about how many folks you’re gonna be havin’ over. If it’s just a small get-together, a little tub will do. But if you’re havin’ the whole darn family over, you’re gonna need a big one, maybe even two! I saw some that were 19 inches long, that’s pretty big, almost as big as my old baby bath tub was! And then there are some smaller ones, maybe 15 inches or so. So really depends what you need it for.
- Big Tub: Good for big parties, holds lots of drinks.
- Small Tub: Good for small gatherings, easier to carry.
Another thing to look at is the handles. You want somethin’ sturdy, somethin’ that ain’t gonna break off when you’re lugging it around full of ice and drinks. Some of them tubs have them fancy double hinged handles. Seems like that would make it easier to carry, especially if it’s heavy. And they should be anchored well, that means they are stuck on good and strong and ain’t gonna come loose.
And speaking of ice, these tubs are really just ice buckets, ain’t they? You fill ‘em up with ice, put your drinks in, and there you go, you got yourself a drink chiller. Keeps them drinks nice and cold for hours. That’s a darn sight better than havin’ to run back and forth to the fridge all day long, I’ll tell you that much.
Now, where can you get one of these things? Well, I hear tell you can get ‘em at all sorts of places. Some folks say Wayfair is a good place to look. They got all sorts of stuff there. And there’s Target too, you know, that big store with the red bullseye. They got pretty much everything, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they had these hammered tubs too. And then there’s this place called WebstaurantStore. Sounds fancy, but I bet they got good prices if they deal with restaurants all the time. They seem to have a lot of them aluminum ones, if that’s what you’re lookin’ for. You can probably find them online too, just search for “hammered beverage tub” and you’ll get a whole mess of ‘em, might even be able to order it straight to your door, how about that?!
So, what’s the bottom line? Well, if you’re gonna be havin’ parties, especially outdoor parties in the summer, a beverage tub hammered is a mighty fine thing to have. It’ll keep your drinks cold and your guests happy. Just make sure you get one that’s big enough, strong enough, and easy to carry. And don’t forget the ice!
And one last thing, when you’re done with it for the day, make sure to empty out all that melted ice water. Leaving it in there will make the whole thing rust, and then where will ya be? Right back where ya started with a rusty ol’ wash tub! So take care of your things, ya hear?
Oh, and one more thing. These tubs aren’t just for soda and beer, you know. You can put water bottles in ‘em, juice boxes for the kids, heck, you could even put some flowers in it if you wanted to, make it all fancy. It’s your tub, you can do what you want with it. Just don’t go usin’ it for nothin’ that will make everyone sick, like washing your dirty feet in it before you put the drinks in. That just ain’t right.
Alright, I think that’s about all I got to say about these here hammered beverage tubs. Hope it helped ya out some. Now, go on and have yourself a party!
