00:00Time to get this party started. We are about to have the best tailgate ever.
00:04I've got lots of tips and tricks to share with you now.
00:06Whether it be Bloody Mary bar or a taco bar, you can always use a muffin tin.
00:10This is a great time for that.
00:11When it comes to decorations, keep it minimal.
00:13You can go to the dollar store and get some balloons.
00:15You're going to be in like a sea of tents.
00:17So choosing, you know, something that people could see kind of up top is key.
00:21Also, inexpensive little shakers.
00:23These are some of my favorite things ever.
00:25These are bug fans.
00:26So when you've got your food sitting out, the last thing people want is to see bugs crawling all over
00:31it
00:31because then nobody eats the food.
00:33They don't hurt.
00:33So like you can reach in there, doesn't cut you or anything like that.
00:37What do we do with all the trash?
00:38You buy you a $4 laundry hamper, pop it up, and now you have a trash can.
00:44No need to bring extra chip bowls along.
00:46Your chip bag is your bowl.
00:48Simply open your bag and then start pushing up from the bottom.
00:52The chips will start to rise to the top.
00:53And then you have your chip bag bowls.
00:55You've got to have paper towels on standby.
00:57A bungee cord is perfect for this.
01:00You're going to take one, slide it through your paper towels,
01:03and then it just hangs on the side of your tent.
01:05Somebody's going to need a bottle opener at some point.
01:07So you just attach it to one of the handles on the cooler.
01:10Good to go and nobody can walk off with it.
01:12Dealing with lots of bags of ice is not nearly as fun as frozen water balloons.
01:17This is a great way to keep your drinks cold.
01:19And bonus, if you want to get your team's colors to decorate the inside of your cooler with that.
01:23A great use for your wire cooling rack is inside your cooler.
01:28This will keep your food separate from the watery ice or drinks.
01:32There are no sinks and bathrooms nearby, tailgates a lot of times.
01:36So it's always good to have some water on hand just to rinse things out or to wash your hands.
01:40So I like to set up one with soapy water and one with clean water.
01:44This is a great use for your empty laundry detergent.
01:48Bonus if you're an Alabama fan.
01:50While it looks really impressive, you saw just how easy it was to do this.
01:54And when we're done, cleanup is going to be so easy and we can head on into the game.
