    This is a knee slapper. Is there an Onion logo anywhere on that product?

    I'm having a hard time of thinking up a dumber way of blowing money.

    I know all of you naysayers have already secretly bought one of these things and had it professionally installed for triple the cost of the unit. Not.

    I am all for free enterprise but this is just ridiculous.

    This is amazing. Why did no one post the kickstarter link so I could just throw them all of my money?

    The only place I could see this being applicable is on golf courses.

    That being said, how do you clean the bottom of it?

    They should run these things more like vending machines. Pop in a couple bucks and boom! Semi-almost-sorta-cold-ish dirt beer.

    Much better / quicker : on an episode of Mythbusters they cooled a warm 6-pack down to like 40 degrees in 15 seconds by spraying it with a fire extinguisher. Because I want a cold beer NOW!

    If there's no fridge or cooler, that means I'm probably in the woods and a creek will cool them. My company would be lucky if I dug a hole to poo in. Yes, I called my shit poo.

    And on that note...

    The best way I found to cool beer outside was when we were on the boat with no cooler (my friend has a bad memory). I tied a rope to one bottle of the 6-pack and lowered it to the bottom of the lake. 15 minutes later, ice-chilled beer. Suffice to say, the toasts were in my favour!

    What happens "above" the frost line during a Minnesota winter? (BTW: MN frost line set record depths this yr) I gotta feeling my Grain Belt Premiums will end up in the same condition as when I forget & leave the case outside the fishhouse, ya U betcha!!....Dumb dumb gimmick!!!!

    Ice is frozen water? If you already have a fridge...use it. This isn't France...(no disrespect to the French intended)

    Ah. Now I remember, in my entrepreneurship course. I just need to create a beer can sized wire brush to send down the chute.
