So, we all know the Backyard Barkeep® is the sturdy, metal drink holder YOU can’t live without. We all know that all other drink stands simply can’t compete. We also know, though, that competition is fun, especially if it’s outdoors. And, we happen to know that the Backyard Barkeep® makes outdoor competition even more fun by offering a place for you to securely hold your drink while you play cornhole…or is it bags?

When promoting the Backyard Barkeep®, our marketing team has this discussion all the time: Is the classic outdoor game in which competitors toss a bean-bag into a hole in a board known as “bags” or “cornhole”? The answer seems to depend on where you live: In the midwest, the game is referred to as “bags.” In the south where the game is said to originate, it’s more commonly referred to as “cornhole.” Still elsewhere, the terms “bag toss” or “bean bag toss” are used.

So which is it? Tell us what you think! Why do you call it “bags” instead of “cornhole,” or vice versa? Do you think where you live or grew up matters to what you call this game? Have you ever gotten in an argument with a friend over what to call it?

One thing is certain, at least: No game of “bags” or “cornhole” is complete without a set of barkeeps! Whether you’re indoors or out, on grass or pavement, and no matter what you call this classic game, a Backyard Barkeep® set is perfect for you! Order today!
