Freaker USA
ESTABLISHED IN 2011 AND LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA,
quickly grew to be the global leader of preventing moist handshakes and sweaty beverages. They aren’t just selling you their fit-everything product, they’re giving you an invitation to their party; a starter kit for a new lifestyle. The Freaker isn’t a strike-at-the-wind attempt to get rich, it’s the background music to a never-ending journey. Infusing life, style and functionality into a drink insulator.
the Freaker
is truly a one-size-fits all bottle insulator! Keeping your hands dry and your drinks cold is the new fashion-jam.
What's that? You have a baby but you also enjoy bum-wine? Is the Freaker for you? A match made in heaven, gumdrop. Your little one’s sippy cup can be just as freaked as your 40oz Colt. Also your mom’s wine and your kid sister’s Nalgene and your dad’s beer & the vase you sometimes regretably send flowers to your ex in.
Cuppow
For SPILL-FREE sipping on the move.
Eco-Friendly, Made in America and BPA free, Cuppows transform your mason jar into a travel mug!
We are now selling specialty packs that include a Cuppow, a Freaker and a 16 oz. mason jar! All packaged up and ready to freak, it's the insta-gift that you'll end up hoarding. You'll never have to worry about your beverage's emotional-insecurity or temperature-variants ever again!
Made in the Freakin' USA
Freakers are designed & manufactured in North Carolina
(and most of us were too!)
Headquartered in Wilmington, we truck our little butts 3 hours west to a family-owned hosiery mill in Troy, North Carolina. Why are we so proud that Freakers are Made in the USA? So glad you asked!
1. We really love Classic American Heros and want our children (AKA “Freakers”) to be influenced by these brave pioneers. Like Vin Diesel.
2. We won’t go into the “American Jobs” spiel, but have you guys ever been inside of an American manufacturing hub? THEY ARE THE COOLEST! We are simply in love with all those little knobs you can turn.
3. American Gladiators. That is all.

the Boxtruck
NOT WILLING TO SETTLE FOR STANDARD MARKETING TECHNIQUES,
the Freaker team asked themselves, “What is the best way to spread the message of cold drinks and dry handshakes?” Their answer was to take to the streets in a modified house boxtruck. Obviously. With money raised from Kickstarter, the Freakerteam made their mobile-lounge dreams come true.
For four months the Freaks went around the United States armed with nothing but bread, cheese, body paint, and a whole mess of Freakers! Everywhere they went people came out to see what the buzz was about. The stylish versatility of the freaker, and the genuine hearts of those distributing them amazed everyone. With every stop, the Freaker Family grew just a little bigger.
They go from city to city to promote their product, they bring the party with them in their awesome box truck/house, the side of which folds out into a deck.

the Freaker Team
is a ragtag group of wily neurotics who share a common goal: freaking you. Here are their faces, so that you can better decipher them when they visit your dreams & persuade you to slowdance to JockJamz:
Zach Crain
founding father and ringmaster
When Zach Crain was just a wee lad, he had dreams of becoming Robocop. Instead, he invented the Freaker. He consults his dog, Mister Pete, on all executive decisions.
Lauren Krakauskas
wordjuicer, caffeine glutton
Lauren likes the words "jubilee" and "jollification" and has vowed to abuse their usage everyday. Her dog's name is Nelson Danzig Mandela. He is perfect.
Justin Mitchener
official hand of freak: (art director, web developer, graphic designer, photographer. SAY WHA?!)
Justin Mitchener is a man of many many wonders. All the wonders actually. He sleeps in super-hero capes.
Alisha Payne
maiden of harvesting productivity
Alisha Payne is synonymous with super kittens and glitter hearts, and this is only one reason as to why she is the most coveted lady in the area.
Oliver Mellan
videostache, rico suave
Oliver Mellan is infamous for making videos that make your head explode in a creatures-of-splendor haze (you like it. I promise.)
Matthew Egan
human resources
Even though Matthew Egan is a multi-tasking extraordinaire, he prefers to be called "Human Resources" because the "sexual harassment" clause excites him.
Molly Jacques
communication maiden
Between reapplying red lipstick and head banging to Taylor Swift, Molly Jacques does a juggling dance of grace with Freaker stores worldwide.
