That so many posters confuse a heat conductor with a heat pump.
Come on - this will not be "keeping your fridge colder" or "cooling your drinks". It will just make whatever it's attached to move to the ambient temperature faster. Wrap it around your fridge and you will have sour cream in your milk, etc. Or else the coldest kitchen around.
Either it's a brain dead friday, or the collective IQ of Slashdot is lower than I assumed over the last few years.
