I like it. I like it a lot. It's a fridge. It's a food warmer. It's a Mini Fridge-Warmer from Think Geek. As the name implies, this combination appliance can cool down drinks or keep lunches warm. With a temperature ranging from 44 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, this dual-purpose fridge is sure to keep you cool...or warm...or somewhere in-between.

The Mini Fridge-Warmer boasts a 20-liter capacity while maintaining a relatively small footprint. It reaches a height of about 17 inches, and the base of the appliance holds its footprint down to a little larger than a square foot.

The Mini Fridge-Warmer comes with two adapters so it can be used at home or in a vehicle. Of course I could use the mini fridge to stock up on soda, but I think I would rather use it to keep a well-stocked warm sandwich bar instead. While part of the fun in road trip is stopping to fuel up on road food, it doesn't hurt to bring some along with you. This option is certainly much better than leaving the extras on the dashboard to stay warm in the sun.

For those of you who are office-minded, then this little fridge is for you. While I might be inclined to use it to keep road food always at the ready, I do realize normal people probably wouldn't be interested as much. The large capacity offers enough space to be able to keep a variety of beverages nice and cold. And certainly it would work better than those silly USB-powered beverage coolers.
