RC Drinks Cooler Overview

Lazy boy chairs now have an official buddy: the RC drinks cooler. An invention that would make Al Bundy proud takes a very simple idea and makes it extremely fun. It is a cooler on wheels, and even the bottle top shaped remote doesn't hide the fact that it is a very quirky product. It operates from up to 30 ft. away, and the four sure grip wheels can cover most areas.







This is great for small parties or big parties, if you get more than one. It might not have the wit of a sarcastic butler, but will get by on the coolness factor alone. With ice it will hold up to twelve bottles or ten cans, and if your kid decides to play with it I can guesstimate about 20 Capri Suns. Give or take. This won't win any award anytime soon, but it is the type of product that you see on T.V. that is so out there, that you have to have it.
The R/C drinks cooler requires 6x C batteries, and the remote control needs 1x 9v. Honestly I didn't even know 9v still existed, call me out of date if you want. The requirements are pretty modest, and so is the price-you're looking at a good 39.95 . Considering the stuff you'll probably have it doing besides hauling your drinks around, it is a safe investment.
At the present moment www.firebox.com is out of stock, for the unlucky U.S. and U.K. buyers. But preorders are available for the U.K. section of the site, but I have no idea for how long. Don't let such a great summer deal pass you up.
