ATTENTION! New Product Editors

VALENCIA, CA – If you like to drink beer and you like to drink it fast, there’s a new invention to help you speed slake your thirst, The Shotgun Opener! Shot-gunning beer has been around since beers have been sold in cans. To shotgun a beer, you poke a hole in the bottom of the can, place your mouth over the hole, and then pop the top opening of the can. This two hole combo allows the beer to flow as fast as you can drink it. The downside of shot gunning is that using a knife or traditional can opener often leaves a jagged serrated edge that can cut your hand or lips.

The Shotgun Opener makes this American college tradition easier, safer and a heck of a lot faster! The Shotgun Opener is made of heavy duty safety plastic and punches a clean, non-jagged hole in your beer can. It’s quick and easy and it comes attached to its own key chain so you can keep it handy (but do not drink and drive). The Shotgun Opener takes the guesswork and danger out of the equation and lets you get to the real work at hand!

For the days you just want to relax with your favorite cold beverage, The Shotgun Opener also includes a can tab and bottle opener. This little tool has been called the Swiss army knife of beer drinkers. Downloadable pictures of The Shotgun Opener are available online at: www.nojoke.com

No Joke, LLC Announces Release of the Div Pro™

SANTA CLARITA, CA – The long awaited divot tool and flagship product for No Joke, LLC is now available for immediate shipping. An all in one golf accessory that combines the most necessary tools used in golf along with a couple of nice surprises.

“This is a great example of how No Joke, LLC brings products to the market that have both every day uses and are extremely fun!” states John Yurek, V.P. of Sales for No Joke, LLC. “If you love to golf, then you’re going to want one of these, it’s that simple”

The Div Pro™ is a multi-functional golf gadget that incorporates a ball marker, divot tool, cigar holder, club head cleaner, golf grip saver and shotgun opener all in one sleek design. It’s a pocket organizer for golfers sick of searching for the right tool every hole.

Developed based on ideas from a group of close friends who love to golf, the main task was to incorporate a functioning golf tool that could handle all the necessities of a normal divot tool while adding some fun and exciting additions. After two years of brain storming and numerous design modifications, No Joke, LLC has come up with a winner.

Using a zinc alloy and anodized plating process, the Div Pro™ can be manufactured in multiple colors. The ball markers are stamped iron with soft enamel, covered in a shiny epoxy and includes a magnetic back that fits perfectly to the head of the Div Pro™. Ball markers can be customized easily depending on individual or company needs. This ergonomic tool is built to last with a modern design that is sure to turn heads.

All divot tools are not made the same and it's obvious after using the Div Pro™. The combination of the essential ball mark repair tool and ball marker along with the cigar holder and grip saver is what makes the Div Pro™ stand out. The shotgun beer opener is just the icing on the cake. "We are ecstatic about our product because it works and works well!" says Pat Dunne, President of No Joke, LLC. "Playing golf is a blast and the Div Pro™ just adds to the day."

There are myriad of tools and gadgets aiming to meld the worlds of cigars and golf (see our golf video for some of the best), and the new patent pending Div Pro™ has joined the collection. While this gadget has many of the typical amenities available in other devices (divot tool, ball marker, club head cleaner, grip saver and, most important to us, cigar holder) the Div Pro™ sets itself apart with one very unique extra: a can opener enabling one to shotgun a beer.

Why would you need such a thing? The Div Pro™ comes with a suggested use. Hit a house? Shotgun a beer. Score 8 or more on a hole? Shotgun. Fail to drive it past the ladies’ tees? You guessed it. Shotgun.

While we’re loathe to support drinking in such fraternal fashion on the golf course (or anywhere, for that matter) there could be a market for such a game. Bachelor party, anyone?

The Div Pro™ is solidly made, perhaps just a bit too solid: the four and one half inch long device is more than an inch thick. Add the twin spikes and it seems a bit dangerous to put in one’s pocket. The manufacturer says a case that can clip onto a belt or golf bag is in the works.

The Div Pro™ is in limited retail shops now, and will have a full rollout in September with a suggested retail price of about $11.99. For more information, visit www.nojoke.com.
