OhGizmo!: One Minute Drink Chiller Works Better Than A Fire Extinguisher

    ahhh, never mind an expensive product. If you're geeky enough to buy that, just use your computer's spray can of air... it'll chill it in about 20 seconds.

    I've done this several times on hot summer days, and it works like a charm. :) Also, it's way cool to show someone (or bet... I can chill this in seconds) ;)

    here is a video someone did on it, it's exactly the way I do it.

    The gasoline method was busted by the Mythbusters... not very cold, and beer is covered in gasoline.

    If you added some rock salt it would work like an ice cream maker and chill even faster, and salt isn't too bad around the beer can.

    the computer spray can method is a farce, it really doesn't work well. Gets it down a couple of degrees, but not refrigerator cold. Then if you factor the economic cost to chill your can, a $60.00 unit isn't so expensive. I've got a cooper cooler and it does chill in one minute to fridge cold for cans and they don't explode upon opening. Check various sites and it gets good reviews. Amazon.com it has like 4.5 stars based on about 30 reviews. NOTE: the same company that makes the cooper cooler has a new can/bottle only chiller coming out called the Blitz Chiller, www.BlitzChiller.com
