Description
This bottle opener comes as a pair: two openers that pop the cap and launch it across the room in a single squeeze, turning opening a round into a target game, for $34.99. Available as black and red, or grey and red.
Novelty barbecue gear usually gets one laugh and then lives in a drawer. This one keeps getting picked up because it still does the actual job: it is a working bottle opener that happens to fire the cap. Set a cup on the far end of the table, keep score across the afternoon, and the person who opened the bottles becomes the person everyone is watching. Two in the pack means the competition is even from the first round.

Why Two in the Pack
-
A game needs two players - one launcher is a party trick, two is a competition that runs all afternoon.
-
It is a real opener - it does the job it is supposed to do, which is why it does not end up in a drawer.
-
Instant icebreaker - it gets used within thirty seconds of the first person noticing it.
-
Lives in the esky - compact enough to travel to the barbecue rather than staying home.
-
Gift that lands - it is the sort of thing people are pleased to receive and would never buy for themselves.
How Does the Cap Launcher Work?
You hook it under the cap as you would with any opener and squeeze. The same movement levers the cap off and releases it forward, so the cap leaves the bottle and travels rather than dropping to the ground. There is nothing to load, wind or reset between bottles.
How Far Does It Fire a Cap?
Far enough to reach across a table or a backyard, which is what makes a target game work. Distance varies with how firmly you squeeze and how the cap sits, and that variability is half the entertainment.
Is It Safe to Fire Indoors?
Treat it as an outdoor item. A bottle cap travelling at speed can injure an eye, break glassware and mark a wall. Never aim it at a person, at an animal or towards anyone's face, do not use it around children, and keep it out of the hands of anyone who has had too many. Aim at a nominated target with a clear backdrop and nothing breakable behind it.
Who Buys These
Anyone hosting a barbecue, a bucks night or a hens party. People buying a gift for the mate who has everything, which is the single most common reason these leave the shelf. Groups organising a party where an icebreaker earns its keep in the first half hour. They also sell steadily around Father's Day and Christmas for the same reason.
Pair It With
Our Party Supplies & Decorations range covers the rest of the party gear, Gifts & Novelty is where the other novelty gifts live, and Camping & Outdoor has what else goes in the esky.
