I was surfing around in search of this desktop R2-D2 mini USB can fridge that I recently read about, when I happened upon something much, much cooler than that cooler.

Sometimes, I just wish I lived in Asia so I could easily get my hands on the great gadgets they crank out. My favorite find of the day has to be this Korean desktop cooler that looks like a polar bear.

For some reason, this mini desk refrigerator makes me think of the spaceship from Mork and Mindy. [I'm (carbon) dating myself, I know.] Actually, it’s supposed to be a giant egg. Come to think of it, so was Mork’s ship.

This rather silly gadget is lets you keep a single can of your favorite canned beverage cool in a tiny little refrigerator.
Brando’s USB Mini Fridge holds one and only one can of soda, beer or other drink in its tiny confines. The mini refrigerator even has a little blue LED light that turns on when you open the door.
Each fridge will set you back $33, or just under $200 for a six-pack.
