Team Grill Named Ultimate Man Gift of 2009

ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Team Grill™ today announced that based on a completely biased and unscientific survey it has recognized itself as the Ultimate Man Gift for 2009. With perfect scores in the Meat, Fire, Sports and Man Deck categories, Team Grill’s new line of sports-themed, professional-grade gas grills dominated an otherwise undistinguished field of man gifts.

“It was so beautiful, that I didn’t even want to cook on it...but, then I got hungry.”

“Throughout history, men have been excited by three things – and two of those things are fire and sports. Our scientists figured out how to combine fire and sports together. The result is Team Grill -- the Ultimate Man Gift for 2009,” said Ed Thomas, Director of Marketing at Team Grill. “With a Team Grill on the back deck or patio, any guy can be DA MAN! Every one of his friends, family, neighbors and people that he hates will be completely jealous of his new Ultimate Man Gift. As the giver of this extraordinary specimen of cooking technology, you will cement your position as the true MVP of the household.”

Reactions to Team Grill have bordered on fanatical. Check out some of these actual quotes from made-up people:

“Victory tastes a whole lot sweeter when you cook your meat on a Team Grill BBQ grill.”
“My daddy’s grill is WAAAAAY better than your daddy’s grill!”
“It was so beautiful, that I didn’t even want to cook on it...but, then I got hungry.”
“Had I known I could get my team’s logo on a grill, I wouldn’t have gotten this tattoo.”
“With all of the executive toys, singing fish, sweaters, socks and neckties, I was starting to think that no one loved me. That all changed this year.”
“I used to be an average tailgater. Then I started using my Team Grill at the games and my performance went off the charts. I sure hope this is legal.”

Team Grill is the perfect gift for the truly loved, but hard-to-buy for sports fan as a holiday gift, Valentine’s gift, anniversary gift, birthday gift, Father’s Day gift or life event gift.
