Tempratech Self-Cooling Can
r.future writes "I saw on Gizmodo that a company called Tempratech has created an 100% safe and environmentally friendly aluminum can that uses a self-chilling process involving a cooling gel, desiccant, and heat sinks, to chill itself. The self-contained I.C. Can is the approximate size of a 500 mL beverage can. This includes the beverage container itself, and the integral self-chilling device, and according to Tempratech the can is 'proven to lower beverage temp by a minimum of 30 degrees Fahrenheit in only three minutes.'"

Congratulations! It's not often that a submission has the potential to ignite a metric vs imperial debate on both sides of the spectrum! For good measure let's debate the merits of the metric time system too! Three minutes = 180 seconds = headache to compute.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Seriously, which would you choose, a beverage that cost $1 which you had to refrigerate, or a beverage that costs $20 which you don't?
If a 6 pack of beer cost $3.00 more, but was self-cooling and meant I didn't need to worry about keeping it cold, I'd pay for the convenience.
Nothing is worse than a warm beer when hunting or driving.
And it's safe! I.C. Can's(TM) innovative design is 100% safe and environ- mentally-friendly; easy to operate, store and transport. The self-contained I.C. Can(TM) uses no carbon dioxide, CFC, HFC, or any other compressed gases and is totally non-toxic, without risk of gas or vapor escape.
So you say now. Just wait until this whole thing spins out of control and the process begins making flesh-eating zombies out of millions of innocent people who just wanted some cold Bawlz.

Need I say more? Hmmph!
Karma: Chameleon (mostly due to the fact that you come and go).
American Pint of beer = 473ml
European standard beer = 500ml
British Pint of beer = 568ml
Which prooves that Europe is better then America, and the UK trouces you all!
(Apart from Germany that regularly have 1l (34 fluid ounce) glasses)
U.S. pints are only 473ml? No wonder you all seem to be able to hold your liquor, you're cheating!
it appears to be the calculus of the loon.
So it's worth about $1CDN?
