Think of the vending machine money you'll save with the USB Mini Fridge; just stash a 12-pack under your desk, and every time you need your cola fix just pop a can in and have a cool pop in minutes.

The miniature retro Coca-Cola style vending machine shaped fridge cools one can at a time to 8.5 degrees Celsius (that's about 47 Fahrenheit to us Yanks). And, if what manufacturer Brando says is true, it'll reach that temp within 5 minutes.

Once the novelty of buying a $33 mini mini fridge wears off, though, will you come out on top? Well, if we say a 12-pack of Pepsi (sorry, Coke fans) runs $3.50, and individual cans from the machine are $0.75 (coming out to $9 for 12), how long will it take you to break even?

Okay, I think I forgot how to do that math post-high school. Or maybe it's just Monday and I need my caffeine fix. Off to the vending machine...
