This Ingenious Device Will Make Your Drink Ice-Cold In a Minute (Seriously!)

A cooler is a staple when it comes to outdoor entertaining, especially with the astronomical temperatures we’ve been dealing with this year. But even though the weather is (slightly?) beginning to cooling off, nothing beats an ice-cold drink when you’re hanging out outdoors, whether that be in the park for a picnic or on the patio for a cookout. 

Still, you don’t even have to be outside — or for it to be the summer, for that matter — for a chilly beverage to give you an instant refresh. That usually means grabbing the aforementioned bulky cooler for your canned drinks, or placing them in the fridge hours in advance (and taking up shelf space), or putting ice in a cup that eventually waters down the flavor. But, what if we told you that you needed to do none of those things for your beverage to reach the optimal temperature? And in an instant, no less? (Yes, really.) Let me introduce you to the Chill-O-Matic Beverage Cooler.

So how does it work? You place a 12-ounce can in the vessel, place a few ice cubes inside, and press start (after you load it with two AA batteries). It spins quickly for about a minute, forcing the heat out through convection. I know what you’re thinking: ‘Won’t it explode afterward?’ Nope! It doesn’t even make your drink fizzy or foamy, and it’s safe to drink right off the bat.

This nifty gadget is a must-have for road trips, outdoor parties, tailgating — the list goes on. Getting an ice-cold drink in a minute or two is handy in a number of situations where you don’t want to wait hours for it to get cold or cart around a heavy cooler filled with several bags of ice. The Chill-O-Matic claims to work a whopping 240 times faster than a fridge!

Average Rating: 4.1/5

“I was very skeptical about this but I read so many positive reviews and decided to try it out and in about 2 minutes my soda was colder than one that had been in the fridge since yesterday. 10/10!” — Amazon Customer

“This thing is magical. It works great, does exactly what it says it’s going to do, no fizz or exploding cans. He was skeptical when he opened the present, more than doubtful when putting the batteries in, and a true believer after 60 seconds were up.” — SJ

“It works great. Gets your drinks even colder than they would be in the fridge and you aren’t stuck with drinking something over ice because you don’t have anything cold.” — Rachel

Trust us, this little device will be a lifesaver in a number of situations, especially if your always on the go. One reviewer even said that they bought one “six years ago and it works as well now as it did then, which is to say it delivers the goods in about 2 minutes flat.” That alone is enough to convince us!
