Chad's Crappy Corner!

In keeping with Chad’s “food theme gadgets” for March, Chad showed us his new Spin Chill. Originally a Kickstarter project, Spin Chill clips onto the top of a container that you want to be chilled. It has a flexible rubber cap that slip right over the edge of a soda or beer can. It is also designed to hold soda or beer bottles. Chad placed it on top of a can of coke, and then placed it on a pan of ice cubes. He clicked the switch and we watched Spin Chill spin the can. The company says it chills down 20 times faster than just leaving a bottle or can laying on the ice. The company also provided these chilling times: Beer/Soda cans: Under 1 minute Glass Bottles: 3-4 minutes Plastic Bottles: 3-4 minutes Wine/liquor: 5-7 minutes. After Chad used the Spin Chill I was surprised to see the soda did not explode or shoot out of the can when he opened it. By cooling drinks this way, drinks stay fully carbonated because they’re not watered down with ice. Spin Chill fits beer cans/bottles, soda cans/bottles, and wine bottles. Chad likes Spin Chill so much, he's keeping it! (As opposed to sending it to some unlucky viewer who sent us a video we used.) Cost is $29.99, plus S&H.

UPDATE: The gadget Leo used to cool a can of soda was the Frost Boss. Jeff Needles found the Giz Wiz episode where Leo does his demo: http://twit.tv/giz1415
