One local company in New Jersey is selling masks with a straw flap that allows people to drink while remaining covered up. Crook & Marker, a spiked hard seltzer brand created TasteMask. The masks come in four different colorful patterns with tropical themes and all proceeds from sales will be donated to USBG Bartender Assistance Program. USBG helps out bartenders and other hospitality staff out of work during this time. The company first teased the masks on its Instagram account and received a lot of buzz. The design comes in a single size and is made with a blend of moisture-absorbing microfiber polyester, polypropylene and spandex-like material with elastic ear loops – it’s washable and reusable. Did they just solve the everyday problems of the pandemic-era drinker, how to wear a mask and drink at the same time?
