The Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce invites Wisconsinites to vote for the “Coolest Thing in Wisconsin” by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 26 — one vote allowed per day.

The top 16 products will proceed to a tournament-style bracket.

Here are our top picks:

Mushroom Gin | Sturgeon Spirits - Oshkosh
City Editor Ally here. I love mushrooms, and I love gin — a salty umami cocktail sounds pretty good to me.

100% Recycled Water Bottle Clothing | EcoEvie - Milwaukee
With the help of her mother, 13-year-old Evie Mutsch created this eco-friendly clothing company that benefits endangered animal conservation groups.

Jolly Good Soda | Krier Foods - Random Lake
A nostalgic favorite of many Wisconsinites. Flavors range from Root Beer and Orange to more unique options like Sour Pow’r and Blue Raspberry.

Carmex Lip Balm | Carma Labs - Franklin
Check your purse. We’re willing to bet a few of you have a tube of Carmex with you right now, as you’re reading this.

Jukebox Bowl-O-Rama | G-Tek LLC dba Fun Company - New Lisbon
Part jukebox, part classic arcade game.
