BuzzBallz Auctioning a 9-Carat Diamond in Valentine’s Promotion
Move over roses and chocolate, not to mention small-carat engagement rings. BuzzBallz will make a major-league fiance out of whomever wins the bidding for a 9-carat diamond engagement ring, designed to mimic BuzzBallz’s new Pink Lemonsqueezy container.
The giant rock hits the auction block Feb. 3, to coincide with the launch of the newest ready-to-drink cocktail by the Sazerac Co. brand. One critical rule for winning the lab-grown pink diamond, valued at $35,000: The winning bidder must have the “ballz” to propose this Valentine's Day.
The ring was to go on auction on eBay on Feb. 3 at 10am EST, with bids beginning at just $2.14. The auction will close on Feb. 10 at 10am EST. The prize ships in time for a Valentine’s Day proposal, with proceeds benefiting a heart-related charitable cause.
Pink Lemonsqueezy is a pink lemonade-inspired cocktail (15% ABV) with a hint of sweet citrus. It joins BuzzBallz’s other RTD cocktails – in flavors such as Grapes Gone Wild and Berry Cherry Limeade – in distinctive, ball-shaped cans.
