How To Chill Beer Nearly Instantly

YouTube description: "Instantly freeze your favorite soda or beer using household items."

Wrote Brian Krans in 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.

Tell you what: you try it first, then let me know how it went.

Assuming you can....

bookofjoe's Favorite Thing: Wobble Wedges

R

Indispensable.

Especially if you're a perfectionist about your TV and assorted electronica (satellite and cable boxes, speakers, subwoofer, AV control box, ad infinitum) being perfectly level.

You could use variably thick small Post-It note pads, but then you're stuck with the colors of the pad edges peeping out at you.

Wobble wedges measure 1.92"L x 1.11"W.

The thick (and flat) end is 1/4"H and it tapers down to about 1/64" at the business end.

Plastic with small ribs running across one surface.

There's a hole to let you wear one as a readymade necklace or carry it on your keychain.

They're called Wobble Wedges because they "Fix anything that wobbles" but I've yet to use them for their intended purpose.

Variety Pack of 20 wedges: 4 each Rigid Translucent and Black; 4 each Flexible Clear, Black, and White.
