Summary

If your drunken antics have gotten old, entertain your drinking buddies with the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. Barstool Origami features origami projects designed for barflies who want to enhance their bar experience with more than drunken chitchat or televised ballgames. Just saying origami is funny when you have had too many beers and folding paper becomes a feat of coordination after a couple of cosmos. Origami is a far better icebreaker than your old pick-up lines. You can use the Peanut Catapult to get the bartender's attention when it's time for another round. There's an origami replacement date when your own heartthrob fails.
