- jlgreco 13y agoSalt, and water to increase the contact area with the can/bottle (unless you want to wait for the ice to melt).
- paultannenbaum 13y agoSince we are going off on a tangent, a cool camping hack when you don't have ice is to stuff a beer in a tube sock, dunk it in water, and hang/tie it to a tree branch in the shade. If there is even a touch of wind it will be nice and cold in 10 minutes.
- jlgreco 13y agoEvaporative beer cooling.. very clever. I wonder if there is a market for a product dedicated/optimized for this (incorporated drawstring/hanger, ideal material, etc.)

- aaren 13y agoThis is much more elegant than the spinning trick, as it doesn't require energy input. Works really well in deserts, if you keep the sock in the shade.
- staunch 13y agoI wonder if you wound up the sock and let it spin if you'd get something virtually equivalent to this machine.
- aaren 13y agoI think you need to experiment.
- derekp7 13y agoDidn't mythbusters do an episode on this once? Fastest way to cool a beer, or something like that? They concluded that the fastest was to use a CO2 fire extinguisher.
