USB Mini Fridge Chills Drinks Fast Right at Your Desk

Posted by Seamus Byrne at 1:31 AM on May 22, 2007

Plug this USB mini fridge into your PC, and Brando says you'll have that drink chilled down to 8.5Â°C (that's 47Â°F for us Luddite Americans) after five minutes. Plunk down your $33 and you get this tiny plastic refrigerator that's reminiscent of those old-fashioned Coke machines. Too bad there's not a Coca-Cola logo across the side, but then, that would mean big trouble for Brando.

While 47Â°F is not exactly ice cold, if this thing can cool down drinks that quickly, might be good for a brewski or two. Five minutes? Heck yeah, we can drink them that fast. Anyway, this little cooler would be perfect for that insecure, perpetually thirsty workmate of yours who walks around with a soda can as if it were a baby bottle. Seems like a pacifier would be easier and cheaper. – Charlie White

Update: Yeah, Brando must mean the unit chills down to 47Â°F in five minutes, not the drink itself. CW

If all you need is a coke zero to get you through a day at work, then your work is too easy. Bring on the ice cold (much less then 8.5C) beers and then we might have something good!

Looking at the picture it seems it cools drinks with a CPU heatsink and some blue LEDs! LOL.
