Keeping your hot hot, and your cold cold

I’m tired of my coffee getting cold at work, and my beer/soda getting warm at home. So I’ve found a few options.

If you are just looking to get your drink cold, you can go to frye’s and get this for $19:

It’s a USB powered drink cooler. Put any beverage on that metal blue plate and it will keep it at a brisk 45degrees. It works pretty well.

If you are just looking to get your drinks warm, apparently you can get a LED lit drink warmer at target for around $4.00.

If you are looking for both, you might check this out:

  1. Wrong, dude. The LED lit drink warmer is currently 75% off the original price of $2.50 = $.62. I picked up one for Brian and Jesse. I have extras if you need to fill another USB port. Just let me know!


  2. Yes! I need! I want! Please!

    I’ll take two at that price (one for work and one for home… If you can spare…).

    Thanks!
