Chilled Shot Machine Makes Shots Go Down Smooth

Jason Chen — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:50:11 EDT

We're not big shot drinkers here—we prefer the apple, mango, or grapetini ourselves—but this Chilled Shot Machine is just the thing to make your next small glass of booze go down smooth. The device fits a bottle up top, like a water cooler, and chills drinks all the way down to 15 degrees F. That may be colder than freezing temperature for water, but it's just right for alcohol. Sounds delicious, and makes us wish we hadn't already gotten wasted on a six-pack of Coronas before we started the day. [Skymall]

Amazin' Beer Chiller: Cool Brew in Two, Whoop-De-Doo

Charlie White — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 12:30:00 EST

The Amazin' Beer Chiller uses scientific principles to chill down a cold one in two minutes. Using what its makers call "patented XDR technology," it spins a 16-or 12-ounce beer or soda can in such a way that all of the liquid is exposed to the edges of the can because of the vortex created inside, cooling it off quickly. Then comes the secret part:

The battery-operated device also removes the heat from the outside of the can using special secret technology. All this chilling tech runs on two AA batteries, and all you have to do is just add a little ice and water. Or, you could just put your beers in the refrigerator and night before for free.

Secret? Looks like it uses the same principle as stirring a drink with ice in a glass. So far the Amazin' Beer Chiller is only available in Korea, but if it works as well as its maker says it does, expect to see it in the United States sometime soon. – Charlie Whitea

USB Chiller and Warmer

Jason Chen — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 13:25:07 EST

Why settle for just USB chilling or USB warming when you can have two for the price of one? The cooling keeps your drinks down to 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 F) and warms them up to 53 degrees Celcius (127.4 F). Pretty impressive when you compare it to the standalone units.

Not a bad bargain for $24. Just don't accidentally rest your elbow on it. – Jason Chen

Mood-Light Chiller, Romance for Geeks

Mark Wilson — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 14:00:18 EDT

The Mood-Light Chiller is an LED-infused ice bucket, suitable for your finest vintage. Constructed from aluminum and frosted plastic, the Chiller can display a seamless color show, or can be frozen (again, no pun intended) at any moment to hold a color of your choosing.

We appreciate that the Chiller can run on a rechargeable battery for up to eight hours. If you can't get your mojo on within eight hours, we suggest you actually drink the wine instead of just displaying it. – Mark Wilson
