MANHATTAN — A new guy-friendly delivery service is offering dudes a way to show off their bro-mantic side.
The new online service Thanks, Bro allows buddies to show their appreciation by sending a gift package of beef jerky and beer anywhere in Manhattan to say thanks for being a pal.
"It's a gift delivery service that lets guys say thank you like a man — without the emasculation of sending fruit, flowers and candy," said Thanks, Bro founder Josh Folan, 29, of Murray Hill.
He was inspired to start the service after searching for the right gift to send his "guys' guy" doctor, but only finding girly options likes bouquets and edible arrangements.
Since beef jerky and beer seemed like the manliest thing a friend could send, Folan and a partner decided to become deliverymen themselves and launched the site just two days ago.
Grateful bros can choose from a selection of nearly 20 varieties of beer paired with Kings County Beef Jerky and presented, for an extra $30, inside a Yankees cap.
However, if your homeboy violated man-code, the service also features a "F—k You, Bro" option, which includes a Slim Jim and a six-pack of Natural Light served "in a sh---y plastic bag," Folan added.
"It's such a perfect mid-20s, young professional target market," he said. "Everyone I know is 'bro' this, 'bro' that."
