Earth Day Gadgets: Skullcandy Hydration Backpack

April 22nd, 2008 by Carolyn in Eco Gadgets, Drinking Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

skullcandy.jpgIn my second gadget for Earth Day 2008, this gadget is one that will help your pocketbook. In this time of soaring gas prices and the desire for people to find alternative ways of getting around (biking, walking, etc.) the one need with all these alternative forms of transportation is hydration. With the latest news coming from the Nalgene/BPA controversy, people are confused as to what types of water bottles / hydration packs they should use to not only be eco-conscious, but also be safe.

Skullcandy has a hydration pack that has more than just hydration in mind. The Hydration Backpack has the capability to keep you hydrated and refreshed - but it also syncs with your MP3 player or cell phone. From the website:

ExacTap - The 3 Second Pint

April 20th, 2008 by Al in Drinking Gadgets

ExacTap
I love gadgets that are for the betterment of mankind and this is certainly one of those, ExacTap, a new kind of beer disperser that can pour the perfect pint in under 3 seconds.

ExacTap works with lager, cider, stout and Guinness. Though whether a pint of Guinness poured in 3 seconds tastes nicer than the more traditional 10 minute multi stage Guinness pouring ceromony is up for debate.

The ExacTap is currently by used at Chelsea footie club, Twickenham and the Odyssey arena in Belfast. For further info and videos check out the official product page.

Chill Stick Six-Pack Cooler

April 18th, 2008 by Mark R in Drinking Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Chill Stick

Every once in a while, someone invents something that he or she can only hope will catch on. This is the case of the Chill Stick, a cooler that thinks it’s a pool-cue holder.

The Chill Stick allows the user to store an entire six-pack of beer in its roll-shaped package. I’m sure the Chill Stick can store 12 ounce cans of other liquids, but I’m guessing beer will be the transported beverage of choice amongst Chill Stick owners. I mean, this product just screams: “if you could put all the beer that I’m going to drink tonight into one glass, it would be this tall”.

I’m also guessing that the primary use of the Chill Stick will be a method to smuggle booze into certain places, even though it is against the rules. Security officials will probably get wise to this form of beer transport.

This coffee cup loves you

March 17th, 2008 by Chris in Conceptual Gadgets, Drinking Gadgets

Cup of love

I’m not a coffee drinker, I really can’t stand the stuff. I prefer to take my caffeine in Mountain Dew form. Frankly it tastes much better, and you don’t have to deal with those nasty coffee grinds at the bottom of the cup. Of course, that also means that I don’t ever have a reason to buy cool coffee mugs like this one.

Trekstor holds data, opens beer bottles

March 10th, 2008 by Edwin in Drinking Gadgets

trekstor.jpgNow this is definitely one of the more useful drinking gadgets that I’ve come across in a long time, especially when I keep myself entertained in front of the PC with some pizza and beer in hand. No longer do I need to take a walk to the kitchen to pick up a bottle opener, as this Trekstor USB flash drive will be able to do that for me. You won’t find me complaining about the 8GB worth of storage space inside, either. No idea on how much it costs though.

The Hold Up opens bottles

March 7th, 2008 by Edwin in Drinking Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

holdup-opener.jpgForget about projecting that macho image by learning how to open bottles with your teeth, not when The Hold Up is ready and willing to do that on your behalf.

Nicknamed ‘The Hold Up’ for his raised arms; the tactile and ambidextrous little chap from über-cool design studio Conka Design can open all bottle lids, even two at a time, with metal mitts that allow you to dispense refreshing drinks to your envious friends in double quick time. Crafted from high gloss ABS plastic, The Hold Up is way ahead when it comes to sleek drinking accessories. And Like every girl’s ideal man the Redman is not only handsome but strong, his metal reinforced hands and arms ensure this chic little fella is nigh-on indestructible. Then, when you have given him a thorough workout, you can stand your new drinking buddy on his own two feet next to all of your favorite designer gadgets, because lets face it, he’s far too cool for the kitchen drawer.

If you don’t have a drinking buddy, The Hold Up won’t mind listening to your tales of woe for £14.99.

Temperature changing mug might not be useful, but is still cool

March 7th, 2008 by Chris in Drinking Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

Hot Cold Mug

I must be dehydrated, because I’m writing about another drinking-related gadget. This one is a bit more simplistic than the single-serve blender I spoke of earlier. Some people tend to burn their hands (or tongues) on hot coffee or hot chocolate, which is never fun. Other times you’ll leave a cup sitting around for longer than you realize, then take a swig of a disgustingly-cold drink. That’s never fun. This simple mug makes it blindingly obvious how warm your drink is.

NDrive G400 PND knows when you’ve had one too many

February 21st, 2008 by Mark R in GPS gadgets, Drinking Gadgets

NDrive G400 PND

Every once in a while, some new gadget comes along that is so obvious that you have to wonder why someone else didn’t invent it.

The NDrive G400 PND is one such device. At first, the NDrive G400 looks like any other Personal Navigation Device. It has a 3.5 inch screen that is completely touch-friendly, along with the usual application menu of a GPS.

What makes the G400 stand out is that one of the applications is a breathalyzer test. That’s right, a device that helps you drive can actually recommend that you don’t drive. All you need to is touch the application, wait for it to calibrate, and then literally blow into the device itself.
