Crumpler Bags offering the coolest trade in history


Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:

…. CRAP …. wrong story

Give me your BEER!!!!

Yup, that’s the one. Sorry bout that folks.

NEW YORK, NY (June 1st, 2007) – Innovative case company Crumpler will be exchanging beer for bags from June 9th – June 17th at it’s two Manhattan locations: 45 Spring St. and 49 8th Ave. In a twist (top) on the concept of bartering the company will accept the amber brew as tender instead of more traditional methods such as cash, credit or cheques during the sale.

A selection of the company’s messenger, laptop and photo bags will be offered in exchange for specific varieties and quantities of ale representing a saving of over 30%. One case of Coopers and four Fosters Oil Cans can be traded for a Barney Rustle Messenger bag (retail $95). A Moderate Embarrassment laptop satchel (retail $80) can be procured for two cases of Asahi and a packet of ramen noodles.

I think it is a great promotion. They are selling bags for beer. Remember, you have to GO INTO THEIR STORE to do it. :)

How many of those people do you think will walk out with more than justthat bag?
