Yo Snogoers!

Most of the SITW stories we’ve published have taken place at festivals and clubs. That’s awesome because I designed the SNOGO with exactly those places in mind. But when you’ve got a straw that lets you get a perfect, clean bump in the infamous dust and wind on Burning Man’s Playa – well, you can get a perfect, clean cacao bump just about anywhere, doing anything! So….Welcome to Snogo in the Wild World of Sports! (Along with the best-ever description of the “drip effect”!) 

From Name:

Hello Snogo! This is my rather humorous introduction to Snogo, a tale about how your Snogo and cacao saved the day. Here goes:

Picture this: Four of us, on a broken-down ski lift, freezing and cold for over an hour… Yeah. Not fun!

We were increasingly restless and bored, as my buddy’s flask had literally run dry 10 minutes into our long ass wait. That's when my other friend pulled out the Snogo and a vial of Coco Yeyo! His eyes gleamed as he tried to explain to us what they were. 

My friend explained that it was a vial of powdered cacao with a straw for sniffing it. WTF?? We were supposed to sniff the chocolate powder for a combined chocolate “drip” effect and a caffeine high. The rest of us were like– Hard Pass. So we just sat there. It was getting colder and talking about how cold it was only made it worse. But there wasn't anything else to talk about, so we were just sitting there and freezing in silence. Then along came a massive gust of bone-chilling wind &...we revised our "hard pass" to "HELL YES!" We would probably freeze to death, so what did we have to lose?

We each took turns inhaling the powdered cacao. When I got over the initial eye-watering blast, the scent was rich and sweet, and sure enough– I got a fucking chocolate drip down my throat which I swear to you was better than hot coco! And yes – then I got hit by the caffeine. I loved it!

We then kept passing it around until all of us were in fits of laughter, and buzzing like chit-chatty gossip Queens! Before long we had completely forgotten we were stuck in a broken-down lift!  

By the time the ski lift finally started creeping up the mountain and we landed at the top, we were WAY too buzzed to even think about skiing down. We didn’t care! We spent twenty more minutes just enjoying the view and each other's company, laughing and chatting.

Eventually, we made our way down the mountain, and I have to say, that “Snogo experience” made the day. We’ll be laughing about it for years to come! So THANK YOU! It turned a frustrating and boring situation into a fun and memorable one that we will never forget.

Incredible story! Incredible, spot-on description of the joys of the cacao drip-effect! Also, a bit of a confession here: Living in Colorado and running a company called “Snogo”, people often ask me if Snogo is a ski brand. Most of the time I’m more than happy to explain exactly what Snogo is, but every so often, I’ll size someone up, decide they probably won’t get it and I take the easy way out. I say “Yes, Snogo makes ski accessories.” I always feel a little guilty about it. But as it turns out, it’s the truth. Snogo really does make ski accessories! I’m absolved! Thank you Name!!!

Big LOVE to All,

Arrian
