Ku bijyanye no kwishimira byeri ikonje, ntakintu cyiza nko kumva kondegene ku icupa no gufata ibinyobwa bisusurutsa. Ariko, rimwe na rimwe, iyi myumvire ikonje irashobora kutoroha. Aha niho inzoga zinzoga ziza. Utu dukoko duto duto twinshi twakomeje kunywa ibinyobwa bikonje kandi amaboko yumye imyaka mirongo. Ariko ni ayahe mateka inyuma ya fudge?
Ivumburwa rya Beer Kurtz rishobora guterwa n'ubuhanga n'ubuhanga bw'umugabo witwa Bonnie McGough. Mu ntangiriro ya za 70, Bonnie yari injeniyeri muri Thermos Corporation maze abona ko abantu bakunze gukoresha ifumbire mvaruganda kugira ngo barinde amaboko yabo igihe bafata ikawa ishyushye. Ibi byakuruye igitekerezo cya?ukoresheje ibikoresho bisa kugirango ukonjesha ibinyobwa.
Bonnie McGough yemereye igishushanyo cye mu 1978, cyatanzwe mu 1981. Igishushanyo mbonera cyari icyuma gishobora kugwa gishobora kunyerera hejuru y’inzoga cyangwa amacupa, bitanga ubwishingizi no kunoza gufata. Izina "koozie" rikomoka ku kirango kizwi cyane cya Coors n'ijambo "cozy", bisobanura kumva utuje cyangwa ususurutse.
Nyuma yo guhabwa ipatanti, Bonney yafatanije na Norwood Promotional Products Company kugirango azane ibihangano bye ku isoko. Ubusanzwe, inkoni zinzoga zakoreshwaga cyane cyane ninzoga nogukwirakwiza inzoga nkibintu byamamaza, bikabafasha kwamamaza ibicuruzwa byabo mugihe baha abakiriya ibicuruzwa bifatika kandi byingirakamaro. Ariko, ntibyatinze koozies kugirango akundwe nabenegihugu.
Inzoga za byeri zagiye zihindagurika uko imyaka yagiye ihita mugushushanya, ibikoresho, no guhitamo. Mu ikubitiro, ifuro yari ibikoresho byo guhitamo bitewe nuburyo bwo kubika ibintu, guhendwa no koroshya ibirango byo gucapa. Nyamara, iterambere mu ikoranabuhanga ryatumye hashyirwaho neoprene, ibikoresho bya reberi ya sintetike itanga insulente nziza kandi biramba. Neoprene koozies nayo ifite isura nziza kandi igezweho.
Uyu munsi, ibikeri byinzoga nibikoresho byingenzi kubakunda byeri, ibirori byo hanze, ibirori na tailgates. Baraboneka mumabara atandukanye, imiterere nubunini butuma abantu bagaragaza imiterere yabo nibyifuzo byabo. Amahitamo yihariye nayo yaguwe hamwe nubushobozi bwo gucapa ibishushanyo, ibirango ndetse nubutumwa bwihariye kuri koozies.
Imifuka ya byeri ntabwo ituma ibinyobwa bikonja gusa, ahubwo binemerera kumenyekanisha byoroshye ibinyobwa ahantu huzuye abantu. Ntabwo uzongera kwitiranya amabati yawe nibindi bikoresho byabandi! Byongeye kandi, birinda ubushuhe kwiyubaka hanze yikintu, bikuraho ibikenerwa bya coaster cyangwa napiki.
Muri rusange, amateka yinzoga arashobora kuva mubitekerezo bishya bya Bonnie McGough. Ivumburwa rye ryahinduye uburyo twishimira inzoga zikonje, zitanga ubwishingizi no guhumuriza amaboko yacu. Kuva kumyenda yoroshye ya furo kugeza kubikoresho byabigenewe, ibirahuri byinzoga byabaye ngombwa-kubakunda byeri ahantu hose. Igihe gikurikira rero uzakingura icupa rikonje rya byeri, ntuzibagirwe gufata ibyiringiro byawekoozieno kwishora muburambe bwiza bwo kunywa byeri.
