Any hotel that purchases or has POP can use it to run anything they want. From beer pong tournaments during Spring Break to little games for the kids during the rest of the year. The uses for the table are infinite, and really are defined by just your imagination. Plus, if it's available at the hotel store, the hotel can make a profit from a try-then-buy sales style.
Yes, if you get a Port O' Pong, you too can play with ladies that attractive.
When I first read about POP, and got the product for this review, I thought to myself that it was a gimmick. I really could see no way to play beer pong properly on an inflated raft. Frankly, I figured that it would be fun only for a little bit, then I would move back to my normal table. Part of my gut reaction was right, but part was wrong. I am using my normal table now, but only due to the temperature outside. However, I am able to now play outside (word of advice: don't play when it is 10 degrees or less outside — it's not that fun) and enjoy it immensely. POP has allowed my friends and I to take our parties outdoors, which makes it worth the investment.
The POP table is almost perfect in its size. When inflated, it is the regulation size for beer pong which makes it a great replacement table. Deflating the POP, however, is when you realize how much better it is to have an inflatable table. The deflated POP is roughly the size of two footballs. This makes it perfect for a dorm room, a tailgating party, or your suitcase for spring break travel. This size advantage easily overcomes the problems.
Speaking of the problems, my biggest concern for POP was the bounce factor. In normal beer pong — well, the version we play — the other team must drink two cups if the ball is bounced into the cup. This is one of my trademark moves and I utilize it many times each night. After practicing on the POP for a bit, I started to get the hang of the new bounce physics. The ball still bounces properly, but the odd angles and the movement of the table itself, gives it a whole new degree of difficulty. Needless to say, I can still make my trademark shot but not nearly as often.
