Don't you hate it when you see a good idea floating around and you think "Hey! I should've thought of that!" Much like the guys at PSU that sell power hour DVDs, a guy at Case Western got a $20,000 grant to develop a wrap-around material to keep kegs cold. I wish I could sit around with $20K and test beer-cooling products....

So, this thing is like a big heating pad? Except cold obviously. What he needs to do is to make one that doesn't need to be plugged in. Like those ice packs trainers have that don't need to be refrigerated.

Maybe he could design a super deluxe model, that's made out of whatever stuff those ice packs are, with the thermoelectrics embedded inside of it, so that you could rechill the ice pack from your car if it ever started to get warm.

I believe that happened back in Springhill Lake. I believe the reason was peer pressure. Goodyear.
