You place your bets and watch your team make it down the brackets. The second best thing to winning? The delicious foods you’re enjoying while watching the games. Finger foods like wings, nachos, fries, popcorn, and ice-cold beer are part of the sports experience. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or your business is catering, be sure to have the right supplies to accommodate those quintessential foods and refreshments. We’ve put together the ultimate shopping guide to your March Madness viewing party. All items are available here on LollicupStore.com.

Cold Cups
Where there’s wings, there’s beer. Plastic cold cups are ideal for serving beer versus solid red color cups because you can see the color and, if you have your beer on tap, the head. Ever forget where you put down your drink? Plastic cups can be sharpied with everyone’s name too!
