FastRack Bottle Buddy

Post by Jimmy » Sat Dec 08, 2012 7:24 pm

For those who are interested, I received this in an email:
Hi Brewnosers,

I hope you had a good week.

We are working on a little project called FastRack that was developed in Nova Scotia (http://thefastrack.ca/the-creators/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Take a look at the short product video:

We are hoping to speak with you about possibly helping us promote this short campaign that is live right now. Your readership is our direct target market and we think it adds tons of value for them.

Looking forward to chatting soon and thanks for helping a couple young entrepreneurs.

Best Regards,

Mitchell & Casey

I can see bars liking these, but I used to clear tables and I can dump a 2-4 of empties into a sink without losing the bottles. I wish them luck, but I don't think it's something I would buy.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I'm thinking about getting one of these instead of a bottle tree.

Yeah the bottle tree is annoying and takes up space and is hard to clean.

I picked up my FastRacks today. They're really well made. Very strong and the bottles fit very tightly. Mitchell and Casey really did a great job with the design.

Henry, did you order from their website? How was the shipping charge?

I did. It was $8. Mitchell's Mom hand delivered it.

Received an email from Mitchell tonight:
I just wanted to shoot you over an update on FastRack & our New Product: FastRack WIne/Bomber.

We are finally making some inroads into Eastern Canada and Noble Grape both stock the products - I was wondering if you could toss an updated website link up on the forum we had that thread going on in?

Now if they made it fit into a dishwasher and had a hose that would spray into the bottles...

They had them for sale for a little while at Home Hardware. I have 3 and love them compared to the bottle tree. Great for storing bottles neatly as well.

I got rid of my bottle tree for these as well. Mostly just because it's easier to store away and doesn't contact the inside of the bottle.
