This is quickly becoming the newest tool in every tackle box. For the number of times so many of us have lost our favorite beverage container, let alone the contents and the mess that went with it, we all could have made good use of the L’il Sucker. By simply stretching the center hole over the bottom of any container, this amazingly creative drink holder instantly creates extreme suction onto any non-porous surface. Available in some great designs, you also have the option to put your own graphics on there. Made in Canada.
