Firehouse Subs is Selling a Gravy Extinguisher

Listen, a dry turkey might not be an actual emergency, but it’s pretty close. Firehouse Subs recognizes the danger, and they’ll be rolling out a functional “gravy extinguisher” through their website later this week. Take aim, squeeze the handle, and splurt hot gravy all over the dish of your choosing; be the hero this Thanksgiving (or make a few bucks flipping one).

Novelty food-related items from major chains tend to do well when they’re weird enough to go viral. The extinguisher packaging and Thanksgiving timing give this meme potential, especially if supplies are truly limited.

We saw similar demand with other fast food promotional items that became collector pieces. The key here is the charity angle and fire extinguisher design making it a conversation piece beyond just another branded kitchen item.

The Gravy Extinguisher drops tomorrow (Friday, November 14) at 9 AM PST at through Firehouse Subs’ website. It’s US shipping only while supplies last. Set a reminder if you want one, since limited novelty drops like this can sell out fast if they catch social media attention.

The extinguisher itself is finished with extensive Firehouse Subs branding. It’s not clear what the actual capacity is, but it looks like you can fit a lot of gravy in it before things start leaking.

At $20 retail with no confirmed quantity numbers, this is a low-risk flip attempt if you can grab one. The charity angle means no refunds, so you’re committed once you buy.

Whether this becomes a $50+ flip or sits depends entirely on if it goes viral in the next few days. These are already getting a ton of attention online, with Firehouse’s Facebook announcement racking up over 500 likes and 140 comments in just a few hours.

If you’re already buying Thanksgiving stuff and want a potential small flip, it’s worth the $20 gamble. Just don’t expect guaranteed profit without confirmed resale demand.

And if you’re on the hunt for more flips ahead of the holidays, you’re on the right website. Check out our articles on Burger King’s upcoming advent calendars or Taco Bell’s viral Baja Blast pie.
