Helpful Hints from joeeze: How to chill beer instantly

Brian Krans wrote, in the latest issue of Wired magazine, "The wall clock has struck beer-thirty. But the tallboy in your briefcase is downright tepid. To chill it quickly, grab some canned air, the kind used for cleaning keyboards. Place the unopened beer in a container — we suggest the boss's yachting trophy — and hold the air can upside down to release its contents in liquid form. (Watch your fingers!). Coat most of the beer in frost, just not the top where your lips will touch. Then wait a few seconds. When the buildup fades, your brew will be fridge frosty."

You try it first, then let me know how it went.

Assuming you can.

Me, I have no doubt I'd end up pierced by shattered glass and headed to the ER.

A just as quick method (with less chance of asphyxiating on the compressed air canister chemicals) is using salt water, see here for the directions, although putting it in the freezer is, in my experience, unneccesary.

No thanks...the video is funny though. Have you checked out the price of "canned air"...well, it's NOT cheap, and when you turn the can upside down you can go through a can faster then light!!! Think ahead, buy some ice, be creative. This is like cooking your dinner in your engine compartment, it can be done, only to prove a point. Now if you really want to "freeze" something, go here:
