That is a horrible refrigerator. Tropicana soda? Pepsi Twist? Regular Coca-Cola? Not to mention the Budweiser tallboys and (I'm guessing) bottles of Michelob. And nary a shred of produce to be found.

This is not the refrigerator of a well person.

I need to see this thing actually working. Just looking at the still shots I have severe doubts as to the physics and functionality.

For example, how does it exchange air for liquid as you dispense the soda--like an office water cooler: pour, glug, pour, glug, pour, glug? That might slow down the speed at which it dispenses making it a bit frustrating.

Also, what is the dispensing force, gravity or pressure from carbonation? If it's gravity, how does any soda falling below the level of the raised tap itself ever get dispensed? And if it's pressure from carbonation, how does this thing help keep the soda from going flat?

Where's Mr. Science when you need him?

Except that the carbonation will leech out of the fluid as it warms. There's a reason why there are often ice dispensers/holders on soda dispensers. There is a coldplate used to keep the carbonation in the fluid. Without it, the carbonation doesn't mix with the liquid.
