Originally codenamed “Jet,” Coca Cola’s top secret flavour bomb now known as “FreeStyle” is poised to give adventurous palettes 100 different beverage options in a single machine.
Unlike its spoiled brat sibling, the Hamburger Phone, the Soda Cup Phone doesn’t have a major motion picture to serve as its marketing machine. So it turned to us, the blogs, to spread the word.
For those of you who have an unhealthy obsession with bar style beer taps, but also want to avoid becoming a functional alcoholic, you might want to check out the Fizz Saver. Basically, you screw the Fizz Saver onto your 2-litre bottle of soda, place the base on a flat surface, and voila—you get a soda dispenser. And as the name implies, it also keeps your soda from going flat (apparently). Since there’s no explanation as to how it keeps your drinks carbonated, I’ll reserve judgement as to how effective/not effective the Fizz Saver is. But hey, it looks cool.

Damn I love me some ice cream sodas. Coke floats, root beer floats, whatever. They are the ultimate in 45-degree-weather deliciousness. Problem is, it’s hard to find them anymore. But Fizz Top will let you make them anywhere—screw it onto a soda bottle, add whatever ice cream you want, and then squeeze the carbonated sugar water of your choice into the top for floaty awesomeness. What’s great is that since you control how much soda mixes with the ice cream, you can get the consistency exactly how you want it: drinkable soda ice cream, or ice cream with a splash of soda. Man, this just makes the rainy day outside my window that much more depressing. [Firebox via Shiny Shiny]
As you might have guessed, the NXMP324 from Neux Corp is not what I would call a “serious” product, but those looking for something a little different may find its support for MP3, WMA, WMV, WAV and ASF file formats, built-in USB 2.0 port, FM radio, and 128MB to 4GB capacities mildly interesting. Not me though—I’m still holding out for the MP4 shaped like a bottle of Thunderbird in a paper bag. Pricing info available upon request. [Globalsources via PMP Today]
