    The Personal Cooling & Heating System. Really?

    First some stuff about this product from the web: Keep yourself cool under the heat of the summer sun with the Cooling Bottle and warm under the cold of the winter. Designed for portability, this hand-held device fits in most cup holders and runs on battery. The fan draws in air, circulates it around the Ice and sends cool air out. Whether you use it at an outdoor sporting event, the beach or just in the comfort of your own home, this device is indispensable when the weather heats up! Vacuum insulated, stainless steel double walled-chamber seals out ambient air to keep ice longer. For Cool-air: Add 2 Cups Ice Cubes(Max.) For Warm-air: Add 2~4 Air Activated Warmers. Runs all day and night on just 3AA batteries (Not Included). Tube is included

     OMG, this was one of the most disappointing gadgets I ever used! I couldn't even get the air stream from this device to move the end of a paper towel. And it's so noisy. Take to the beach? You'll need to bring a cooler full of ice cubes.

     Now let's look for it on the web!

     It's here for $119.99!! https://3pexperts.com/product/2-in-1-personal-cooling-and-heating-bottle/ 

    It's $34.99 on Until Gone: https://untilgone.com/products/2-in-1-personal-cooling-and-heating-bottle.html

    There's a 3.0 Version on Amazon that looks similar but isn't exactly the same. It's $49.99 and the reviews seem to indicated it's not that great. Even their own copy says something like "You'll be up to 20 degrees cooler for about 20 minutes using 2 cups of ice. For that reason, it shuts off automatically after 20 minutes." Here's the link, but I'm not about to buy another one so similar to the one I already bought:

    Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iwsPnq -  (I've not used this particular model but I suspect from the ratings it's not much better than the one I already bought.)

    Here's a weird gadget Leo & I laughed about 15 years ago, but OMG, it's still around. The ice chest you can drive! https://www.cruzincooler.com/
