The Winner of The USB Drink Cooler

written by John Chow on July 9th, 2007

USB Drink Cooler

Last Friday, I held a contest to give away a CoolIT Chiller USB drink cooler. It was the most successful contest yet. Over 250 comments were made to the contest post. When you consider that my testing of the Chiller showed it doesn’t keep your drink cold, the number of entries is pretty funny. I guess a lot of people want useless stuff.

Today I drew the winner of the Chiller and I just couldn’t believe it. I almost ripped it up and drew another name but that would be dishonest. So, in an ironic twist of fate, the winner of the CoolIT Chiller is John Cow.

I’m sure Mr. Cow will be mooing and hi-hoofing all the other cows in the barn for winning the cooler. Look for another useless contest soon. Well, the next item won’t be as useless.

I was just about to say, it’ll be good for keeping the milk cold during these hot summer months…. that is, if it actually worked the way it’s supposed to work. :lol:

Thanks Real Estate Editorial! I saw your John Chow review. Are you getting the linkback in a batch? I posted mine about a week ago and I think I’m in 93 or something…

Everytime i drink milk i throw up. I havent drank milk in probably 10 years. Its only when i drink a glass of milk though. As long as i dont taste it im fine. Weird.

I’m lactose intolerant so I stay away from the stuff as much as possible. Soy milk has been really good to me though; I could always depend on it for cereals and such.

Its funny how your text link for John Cow is linking to your domain http://www.johnchow.com

? Is that intentional so that maybe, just maybe you’ll rank #1 for “John Cow”, as its quite obvious you are not ranking #1 for “John Chow”….?

Very interesting. “John Cow” wins the ever-popular “broken” drink cooler. Am I the only one who sees the “coincidence”? john cow - john cHow? Do I smell something fisy here? Perhaps “John Cow” is actually John Chow. Yes, its shocking, but think about it. John Chow creates “John Cow”, in an effort to crowd the making money blog market even more, capture the copycat traffic, and to simply get more traffic. Evil… Very evil indeed.

I’ve used a USB drink cooler and it worked out surprisingly well for me. A glass bottle of coke stayed cold for the entire time I was at the computer (four hours).

Either way, let me know if you’re going to give another one away because I broke mine moving!

:D
