ColdSnap was a 2021 Innovation Honoree in the Kitchen Gadgets catergory. It looks and functions like a larger version of a K cup machine except it dispenses a frozen treat in about 90 seconds. Additionally, plans for the future will include pods for smoothies, frozen coffees, protein shakes, non-dairy ice cream and even frozen cocktails. The pods have QR codes on top which tells the machine how to prepare the contents. It's said to launch in select locations in the second quarter of 2021 and ship direct to consumers early next year. The price however requires the use of an optional chair to sit in when you hear the price: $1,000. If sales are robust the company said it hopes to eventually bring it down about half that price, but that's still $500, plus the price of the pods, which are estimated to be somewhere in the $2.50 to $3.00 range. The pod containers are aluminum like a soda can, so they can be recycled. And the machine is said to weigh 50 pounds! Looking at their video, it does make ice cream really fast! You see how fast in their video. I don't know how great this is for the home, maybe great if you have a lot of kids, or this might be better for a restaurant or an office, but $1,000.00? I wonder if this will end up going the way of the Keurig Kold soda maker that failed about 5 years ago.
