Invented by 22 year-old Kent Hodgson of New Zealand, the Huski Beverage Chiller can ice up your beer in a few seconds with CO2 and costs about 7 cents apiece. At about the size of a pencil, it forgoes the need to pre-chill drinks or carry around extra ice. It works with plastic cooling cells in a dock that houses the carbon dioxide that expands and becomes dry ice. Hodgson is hoping that his dream will become about a $50.00 realty in time.

Very cool.. Said you'll be able to chill a case of beer for each co2 canister-- or about $.07/beer after your initial $50 purchase. This'd be great for backcountry backpacking where it'd be esp nice just to have a cold water.. yum!
