Beer-launching fridge: Never leave the couch again

Posted February 26, 2007 4:32 PM

From SCI FI Tech:

Nothing goes together quite like functional alcoholism and crippling laziness, and that's why this beer-tossing fridge is such a wonderful invention. It loads up 10 frosty brews in its magazine, then launches them to wherever you'd like at the touch of a button. You might worry about getting whapped in the face by a flying can of Miller Lite, but this thing is so accurate that you shouldn't have to worry about that until you've had at least a half-dozen beers. This thing just has to be seen in action, so be sure to take a look at the video after the jump. There you can witness the impressive accuracy of the fridge, as it tosses a good 10 cans through a small hole in a cardboard box across the room. Obviously this is a homemade project, but if they made one of these and put it up for sale I'd be all over it.
