World's First Remote-Control Beer Cooler

Deliver Drinks From Across the Room With the RC Cooler
If you wander by the Interactive Toy Concepts booth at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, there is a good chance you'll be greeted by a friendly bump from a drink (beer) bearing device called the RC Cooler. The RC Cooler is exactly what it sounds like -- a radio-controlled cooler.

The soft-sided, collapsible cooler sits atop four wheels and a radio receiver powered by eight "C" batteries (which will survive only three hours of constant use). The round gray plastic remote takes a single 9-volt battery that shouldn't need to be swapped out nearly as often.

After beating back the CES-show-floor-gawkers who were trying to get a good shot of this thing, we were able to get a good look have to admit we were smitten. Yes, it's silly, but it seems to handle well, which makes it really useful for lounge-chair potatoes who like to party!

Now, when you're lounging poolside at your barbecues, you won't have to get up and fetch a beer or hand one over to a friend. Just send out the RC Cooler with a full load of 12 beverages, while you sit back and relax with the remote. The RC Cooler will be available in the Spring, for $49.99, just in time for the lazy host in all of you to pick one up for the first pool party of the season.

Open Your Beer With a USB Drive


What's the easiest way to spruce up a cheap trinket?

Add USB of course!

This pretty useless and cheap looking contraption, called the Popdrive, sticks a 1-gigabyte USB flash drive onto the handle of a standard issue bottle opener. So now you can get your drink on and carry around tons of electronic documents -- just make sure not to mess up any of those documents if you've had one too many.

Really the most impressive thing about this product is that the manufacturer has the gall to charge $30 for such a flimsy-looking toy.

At least the USB Beverage Chiller and the USB Butt Cooler will keep our drinks and posteriors cold, respectively.
